Unless the Warriors (or Draymond himself) can figure out the Draymond problem, it likely will end in 5 or 6.

Could be. Right now the Celtics just have more reliable players on a night in and night out basis. The Warriors are going to have to hope they get a Jordan Poole game or Otto Porter game sprinkled in there. Also Kevon Looney needs more time in this series, especially with the rebounding deficit.

Yeah they need Poole badly. Maybe klay proves me wrong but i think at most he got 1 good game left in the series. They will need Poole to avg close to 20 ppg for remainder of the series

Warriors wasted a good Klay shooting game. We might not get another.

Got 74 from wiggs, klay, and steph. Should always come out on top when you get that from those 3

Draymond and Poole are at the top of the Warriors' goat list. You can't really criticize anyone else. Everyone else is either playing good or giving you what you expected.

Another tough loss. Steph is doing all he can right now to carry this team, but it's coming up short. And it's really just one reason: Draymond Green. When he plays well, the Warriors are incredible. When he plays bad, they have almost not shot at winning. People have been downgrading his importance for years, but it's completely evident his importance to the team when you see how bad he's been out there.

I'm not in full panic mode yet, but I'd be lying if I'd say I was confident in the Warriors winning this series. In the 3 games, they've been severely outplayed by the Celtics for huge portions of games. Aside from the 3rd quarter blitz, the Warriors haven't really had answers for the Celtics.

Shout out to Klay for getting right last game. Wiggins with another solid game, but we could use a bit more from him offensively on nights where Poole isn't producing.

Lastly, Steph deserves all the credit in the world. He's obviously the person the Celtics are keying in on and he's just out there balling.

If the Warriors can get the split on Friday, then I'd say this series is completely up for grabs.

Completely agree, now if you can explain that to @msgkings322 he says that if GS wins game 4 they win the series.

Dubs in wait-and-see mode after Steph hurt late

Stephen Curry expressed optimism, but even he had to admit the Warriors will have to see how his latest injury responds after he got caught up in a scrum in Golden State's loss to the Celtics on Wednesday night.

Yeah I forgot we're not supposed to make any specific predictions how we think a series will go. Thanks for the reminder. From now on I'll just say maybe they will win and maybe they won't.

Don't walk it back. Own your over the top prediction.

This is totally insane.

2017 Warriors were an all time great team. Arguably the GOAT team.

And you put a 52 win team that eked through the East playoffs and hasn’t won a title up against them?

You have said some wild stuff. This takes the cake.

2017 Dubs win in 5 games at most.

2017 warriors didn't beat anybody relevant. They were facing Aldridge in the west finals for god sakes. That's like facing kevin love

What's over the top about predicting Warriors in 7? Holy shit dude calm down. I made a prediction and you are bothered by it for some reason.

In theory, yes.

But this is just not a good matchup for Poole.

Really hard to play him and Steph together for extended minutes. Boston just doesn’t have a lot of places to hide small defenders.

Again, saying whoever wins game 4 is winning it all when one team already has two wins is a long shot at best. W's could win G4, then the Celtics could win Gs 5 and 6.

The C's could win G4, and I think the W's are good enough the win the last 3.

Maybe it is maybe it isn't. That's my take. If I'm wrong I'm wrong. And I don't agree they have any real chance of winning 3 in a row if they lose 3 of 4. That will prove that Boston is the better team IMO. Could be wrong there too.

Yup. If Poole can just come in while Curry takes a breather and keep the Warriors from getting outscored too severely, I'll be happy.

It didnt so much bother me. You made the prediction, I pointed out it was a ridiculous take and you got bent out of shape.

Stop it man.

Boston hasn’t beaten anybody relevant either. The top teams they beat were all flawed in different ways.

Individual players, sure. Elite teams?

Hell no.

You are too focused on the 1 name on the top billing. And if you really want to focus on that, LeBron + Kyrie + Love is WAY better than anything this year’s Celtics have beaten.
