They are 4-4 at home this post season, and that includes 2-0 against A Brooklyn team that didn't bother showing up. It is stupid to think coming back West up 3-1 is a given or even likely. If it weren't for an amazing game 1 4th quarter the Celtics would be limping home hoping not to be swept.
Coming back home 1-1 feels amazing after playing as badly as you could have played.

They have also had some home games when they finished teams at half (game 2 vs bucks) or even finished them at the end of 1st quarter (game 4 vs heat). So they showed they can be dominant at home as well.

Draymond and Looney would have to shoot less than 55% on FT's, or something like that, for that strategy to pay off. And this is even ignoring two other problems: (1) Celtics players getting into foul trouble; and (2) the Warriors getting into the bonus. Short answer is that this almost certainly will not work.
I don't mind rob Williams, grant Williams, smart or even some random role player like Pritchard taking those fouls.

It takes warriors out of their rhythm.

I wouldn't apply this strategy in Boston. But in SF where they seem unbeatable? Absolutely try it

Sure, they were dominant in the 2 wins out of 6 home games against those teams when they were banged up. The Warriors are healthier than they've been all season. Home court has not been an advantage for your squad this post season, they have been A better road team. They need to figure out how to slow the Ws down coming out of the break at half.

Damn dude.....you must be throwing an unusual large amount of undercooked pasta at your wall only to find out nothing you say or said is sticking.

take care of home court. people are overreacting. All warriors did was split their home games lol do they want a cookie for that

Should be comfortably going up 3-1 and then just hope Klay doesn't have another one of his mongoloid game 6 shooting streaks

Over their last 9 home playoff games, the Celtics are something like 5-4. The Warriors have won at least 1 road game in every playoff series they have played in under Kerr.

Tell us more about how they'll be "comfortably going up 3-1".

If a weaker team like grizzles won 2 at home. I don't see how celtics can't win 3

They also have the biggest choke in nba history on their home court.

That tells me he doesn't have a real point guard on his team. Smart is a 3 and d guy who has been thrusted into the role.

But so what? 2006 wade and 2018 LeBron were both carry jobs. So I guess Tatum is doing the same

They never did shit in the finals without KD, to be frank.

They beat mozgof in 2015 and then had the GOAT choke in 2016

So, it has nothing to do with it.

Just as I thought.
73 win and a 3-1 blown lead on your home court.

Chokers gonna choke, that's my point

Celtics lost 1 home when butler had 48 and Miami hit a ton of miracle shots at the end of shotclock. Then they also lost another home game when smart went full retard late game 5 vs bucks.

I don't see that happening again.

You're actually dumb enough to think an outlier from 6 years ago means anything.

You realize it's 2022 and the Celtics 5-4 home playoff record is this season, right?
