Every time a team wins people think they are winning this series. I'm calling it going 7

Incredible, incredible Curry game. Completely carrying his team and stealing a game on the road. Unbelievable performance.

keep seeing takes about the celtics going cold at the end .. i think it's underappreciated that they shot 39.5% (higher than the warriors at 34.9%) even with all those misses. the celtics have shot the ball well this entire series, not the problem

my instinct tells me that tatum and curry are due a "return to the mean" in opposite directions

but is game 4 amd yet no sign of boston having an answer for curry nor tatum solving the warriors defense

if curry keeps this pace to the end of the series, win or lose it will be a historical series and maybe his career brigtest moment

tatum on the other hand really needs to finally get a great game(s) or it will be hard for boston to win the series, a repeat of his game 6 vs bucks is gonna be needed at some point (ideally in game 5 for him)

Curry was sensational.

He is having a historic offensive showing against a great defense.

is this curry most impressive series ever? all thinghs considered?

curry playoffs is doing a lot of work for me to put him in a top 10 alongside magic and bird tier

his longevity has catched up to them and this year gives me more confidence in his reliability and increases the likelyhood 2017-2018 curry could have been doing this without kd

1-2 more all nba seasons and i may feel comfrotable with it

Yes 100%.

This is his iconic series. Even if he cools off a bit, I highly doubt he serves up stinkers the rest of the way.

Curry was legendary and the warriors defense were also great in the second half.Tatum need to be much better and Brown need to be more involved

falcolombardi · Post #6571 » by **falcolombardi** » Sat Jun 11, 2022 3:49 am

the series has been so close fought 3 of 4 games

yet all games have ended at least with 10 point leads

another example of how tricky to define a series closeness based on final score can be

The return of 2016 RS Curry.

if he keeps the 3 point shooting it will be one of the best offensive series ever

on the other hand, if he "returns to the mean" shooting wise with a stinker or two it may get ugly for warriors offense

cannot wait for game 5

There were really Celtic fans who said Tatum is a more talented player than Curry.

I know fan bias is normal, but that was outrageous reading that from a few of them on the GB.

Yeah some of our fans are wild. Tatum isnt even a superstar.

Curry is such that when his usage goes up, so does his efficiency. And it makes sense as well, with the ball in his hands as much as it has, he's in a better rhythm.

i'm setting myself to eat crow but i dont see the "regression to the mean" happening to tatum. it's not like he's just missing a bunch of great looks IMO the defense has been impressive

God Steph what a performance. An iconic moment for him

And honestly, I don't think Draymond was as bad this game as people are making out. Definitely made his presence felt defensively

agreed, he was clearly better defensively than g3

Oh and talk about Klay's defense for a guy coming off 2 major injuries. Couple more games like these and he might become an overrated defender
