Curry has never beaten a healthy team in the finals before without being the beta. No KD to bail him out this time.

Meanwhile, Boston is battle tested and has the best defense in the entire league - miles ahead of anything the Mavericks, Grizzlies, and Nuggets threw at them.

Warriors likely come back and win the next one, but I think Boston takes two (2) straight in beantown and close it out in 6.

Making me eat my own crow. Lol I love it.

No but seriously.. come on guys, no pointing fingers! :wink:

I ate my crow on Giannis last yr, though he did win an asterisk-worthy ring and proceed to lose in the second rd the following yr (though excuses will/can be made there)

I still think the Celtics win the finals. I think the lack of front court offensive production of the Warriors is ultimately what will do them in.

Def anyone’s series still

Going to come down to who shows up between Steph and Tatum in this best of three imo

Vertical Limit · Post #188 » by **Vertical Limit** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 3:33 am

Tatum is such a weird inconsistent player.. he looked both great and trash today

Bishop45 · Post #189 » by **Bishop45** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 3:38 am

Both Curry and Tatum were trash imo, but at least Curry was doubled and helped Wiggins have a monster game

Small ball thread locked, thank goodness

From being traded by LeGM to getting bullied by Jimmy Buckets in practice and to outplaying Jayson Tatum/Jaylen Brown in the finals. What a story by Wiggs.

Boston might pull 2 wins in a row like they did to us at the end.

IDK Bos looking dumber and dumber by the minute

what's understated is that GS defense is just as good as Bos (and ours) imo.

if you keep making dumb plays and esp. turning the ball over you're ded. Curry gets great looks for his teammates when he's doubled like tonite. if you drop coverage like idiots, he'll kill you too. Not sure Bos have an answer atm

Andrew Wiggins is shining in the NBA finals hate to see it BISH

Post #194 » by **IggieCC** » Tue Jun 14, 2022 4:18 am

with all is said and done, Curry still gets attacked on defense at the biggest stage (though he's not nearly as bad as earlier in his career).

GOAT shooter and one of the best offensive players of all time, but if you rank him too high you're probably only watching one side of the ball

Hoping Wiggins finishes strong in G6 and gets the Finals MVP. Would be hilarious to have Curry win 4 titles, but never a Finals MVP. But it’s unlikely to happen - he could completely **** the bed in G6 and the media would still give it to him this year.

Lol i like how some at the GB are trying to price down Wiggins.. like hes some MLE type player.. golden state has his bird rights and has him for one more season.. but make no mistake, Wiggins is going to get a max contract.. if people here are saying Tyler f’n Herro is a max player then Wiggins is worth 60 mill per season.. but yea, hes going to get his 4 year 170 mill extension or sign with a different team in 2023 for the max.

His agent is going to push for the extension this offseason.. and it may cost the Warriors Draymond Green

Also, Curry still gets FMVP even if Game 6 klay shows up or if wiggins has a big game in game 6… have you seen the double and triple teams Steph is facing? Theyre guarding him like he is Shaq.. guy is barely 6 feet tall and he puts so much fear in the celtics defense
