I'm just hoping for a polite crowd tonight

Kidding aside, I did find one thing hilarious.. the first fan they showed in G3 was a guy wearing a Boston jersey and a fedora, and I remember thinking that the cameraman was kinda a dick for that one. Don't let that be the first Boston fan seen in a game.. like if they did that in SF I'd be a little bitter. We don't claim that ****

I think this is actually a must win for both teams. I think it will be very hard for the celtics to beat the warriors in game 5. For the warriors if they go down 3-1 I think they lose all confidence and give up in game 6

Curry needs more help.
If they lose the Finals, I'm sure Wiggins salary plus whatever necessary assets it takes will be moved for a KD type.


What KD type might be available? You make it sound like they grow on trees.

No idea, why I didn't name anyone specific. Just needs to be someone who can be a 1a/1b scoring duo with Curry. While still being a decent defender.

I bring it up because I'm not sure if there's anyone available to fits that mold.

KD? Maybe, but he's not going back to Golden State.

Beal? He's most likely re-signing with Washington.

LaVine? Most likely re-signing plus I'm not sure if he's on the level of what you're talking about.

Someone else mentioned Ayton and that seems more likely, but it depends on if Golden State is even interested in him.

There's also Gobert, but he doesn't give you the scoring that you're talking about (neither does Ayton, but he scores more than Gobert).

Can't be anyone they have to sign and trade for, because they're too far over the hard cap, trade would never go through.

They've gotten to the Finals with Barnes, KD, and Wiggins in that role. Wiggins and Klay are just too inconsistent of scorers. Draymond doesn't even look at the rim and Iggy is a corpse.

If they lose, they need to address that, Curry doesn't impact defense or facilitation enough (in this series, on the highest stage) for him to just be a guy who puts up 30 PPG.

I'm fully expecting a warriors win. I think they play with poise and that championship DNA and take over in the 3rd and cruise to victory. I'm also expecting a major game by Poole.

Warriors - 109
Celtics - 95

What's Draymond gonna do? Drop a whopping 6 points tonight?

This is a crucial game for both teams. I just hope for no blowouts.

If the Celtics go up 3-1 it’s pretty much all she wrote. Noway the Warriors are beating this team 3 straight times

Any KD type they'd get would come with a big contract.

My guess is that they don't do much this offseason and hope that some of the young guys develop.
