What? They flew across country and won game 1 in San Fran. They then flew across country and won game 3 in Boston.
Melo and amare should thrive in this offense. If Jeremy Tyler and cole Aldridge looked that good in summer league then us knick fans have a lot to be excited about. Make room for all the bandwagoners when we take off

He pretty clearly meant cross country flights following games - i.e. following games 2, 4 and 5.

Too funny. A good friend shoots these games as a pro photographer. She posted great photos on FB. I am looking at photos of Smart and JT with fistfulls of jersey and arms wrapped around Curry etc. Really, get in there and see with eyes. These games are covered from all angles and it is there to see. Boston is not magically physical without fouling. You've been trained to accept it by the non calls.
Wish I could post them but copyrights to ANG. That said, the level of physicality, when captured in stills is jaw dropping. We should all pay more attention to great still photos of these series. Amazing stuff.
I am not blind my friend. I see it and never said the Celtics don't play physical basketball.
I mean.. have you ever watched the how the Warriors set their screens?
It happens on both sides of the floor. The Warriors do the same thing, and the NBA let's the game be very physical near the basket, and on off ball plays.
So, my point stands. You don't get ft attempts for jumpers.
For jumpers....and yet the Warriors outscored Boston 50-36 on points in the paint. Do you get foul shots when driving in the paint? Celtics do.

KD & Kyrie was busting the Bucks ass.
And then KD alone nearly beat the Bucks by himself. If not for 1 inch on a 3 pointer.
You can't complain so much about injuries when you literally just benefited from it last season. You still had a healthy Giannis and Middleton with a 3-2 lead going into Milwaukee.
Thats far better circumstances then the Nets had. With their second option being Bruce Brown.
1-3 record with KD alone in that Bucks series. "nearly beat them himself"
Won Game 5. And almost won Game 7. With basically the worst supporting cast for a Contender in playoff history.
If you don't think thats impressive then you don't know basketball.

It took them 7 games to beat the Bucks without Middleton.
It took them 7 games to beat the Heat without Herro & Butler playing on 1 leg.
And now it would take 7 games to beat the worst version of this Warriors dynasty.
Having to play 25 games to win a title would be one of the worst championships in history — I believe the most played was the 2008 Celtics, funny enough.
Lowry was the most hurt guy in that Heat/Celtics series.
But let's not act like Boston hasn't been playing without two of their best defenders at full strength. Smart and Williams have also missed a chunk of games in these playoffs.
Like his team did not benefit from an injured Nets team and a few inches of KD's shoe away from being eliminated last season.

Imagine if they had a player like 2011 Jason Kidd where Marcus Smart could come off the bench.
This series would be over by now if they had even an above average playmaker who could get them easier shots. It’s obvious to anyone with a couple of functioning eyes how badly they are missing playmaker…… It’s an abomination watching Smart trying to be a playmaker.

Curry is 5/5 in WCF and 3/5 in finals. Another terribly ignorant post. What happened to Mavs in 5? You seem to ignore my question every time I ask you.
