Is anybody actually surprised?

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.

Celtics win. Smallball fails again.

Curry is a fraud and a choker but I love him anyway.

Downside of relying on undrafted players for production in high pressure situations.

I hate to admit it but they clearly have a lot more talent than we do and its not even close.. we are playing guys that wouldnt be in the NBA without the Heat.

If I wanted to throw up watching them win last night, just imagine how Riley felt watching yesterdays game. The guy was raised since his playing days as a Laker to hate the Celtics. He coached against them in the 80s. I imagine Riley is absolutely sick to his stomach.

We cant let this evil continue guys. We’ve got to go all in this offseason.

They didn't forget. It's an effect of the system we play and the end of the year. Dead legs.

He really is the skeleton key that unlocks this Boston team. He's the fabric that allows all their talent to play together effectively. Him hitting every shot helps too

In an alternate universe, a 38 year old healthy Chris Bosh just scored 26 points in game 1 of the NBA finals to lift the Heat to a 1-0 series advantage.

Overreacting to one game looks prominent, per usual

With the way the media slurps Golden State, it would be funny af if it turns out we gave Boston a tougher series in the ECF than the Warriors do in the Finals.

Yet we were a 3 away from a hobbled Butler from potentially winning the East!
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Eerie similarities between Jordan Poole and Tyler Herro

Both Talented scorers - check
Sometimes stupid shot selection - check
Both are mediocre defenders - check
Almost both the same height and body type - check
