(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

[Tai Chi≈Surfing]

Eh, it was fine even with them not hitting shots. The ballgame was the Celtics going bananas from 3 and it all happened so fast the Ws choked in a very unWarriors way. They stopped defending, they got sloppy, etc. Kerr definitely screwed up the lineup in the 4th too.

The dubs simply were not efficient tonight....especially on both ends in the 4th.
I'm sure it will be addressed and mitigated by Sunday.

LOL. That's crazy.

Problem is, the Lakers were a WAY better team. The Ws are not way better than the Celtics.

That’s why whoever tweeted that is a casual.

Obviously Ws need to win game 2 or the series is over. But I predicted Ws in 7 and this is how that looks. Split in SF, split in Boston. Ws have won a road game every series in the Steve Kerr era (and they are 22-2 in those series). They will do so again.

Wouldn’t shock me.

Dubs have done it before.

That said I still like how Boston matches up with gs.

But the dubs arent gonna just hand this over

One game at a time. Need to figure out how to keep Dray and Poole from being negatives. Their poor performances negated Curry and swung this game. Those guys need to be consistently good.

With Klay, I think you just have to hope he has a couple good games in this series. He cam erupt at any time, but he is not the same player anymore for understandable reasons.

Celtics won multiple road games in every series they played this playoffs series....that will likely continue after this victory.

Couple that with Draymond, Looney & Poole going a combined 5 for 23 on FG's
Also Klay went just 6 just 14.
There's the ballgame.

The shooting didn't help, but I actually think they lost the game in the 4th because they got stuck out there too long with a line up that had Iggy and Otto Porter. Boston probably would have won anyway considering the literally made damn near everything they threw up, but they made the bulk of their run with those two out there. The team defense was a mess, lots of guys chasing (Iggy is just too old), but there were no stoppages so they couldn't get Wiggins and Looney back in the game. Then when they did get back in, I think Green had to come out for a quick breather. By the time they got their full starters back out there, Boston had sealed it. If he's ready, GP2 needs to play next game and take up all of Iggy's minutes

Draymond lying like the world didn't watch the game lol

The Warriors will eventually have some hard decisions to make. Klay is not a 40 million dollar player. And with their salary situation he becomes like a 80 million dollar player.

And still you picked the Ws in 6. I'm discounting you this series, your takes are all over the place. Not like you at all.

Warriors may lose this of course. We'll see!

Those things will be addressed during the off season.
Now is not that time.

 

[bksballer89]

Dominated the first 41 minutes but was down at half lmao

So many game 1 hot takes

Not a hot take. Whether the Dubs win this or not Klay is not worth 43 million plus his luxury bill in 23 24.

NBA games can turn on a dime, and often do.
Gotta make shots...defend as best you can...and protect the ball.
We've seen the Dubs do it numerous times to other teams in the past.
I trust Game 2 will be an entirely different animal.

Hopefully, Draymond bounces back. This Finals is huge for his legacy. He probably makes it to the Hall of Fame, but he shouldn't be seen as a lock, IMO. If he has a good Finals and the Warriors win, his reputation soars and he'll deserve a spot in the top 75 list that he missed out on just recently. And proving the words that he said to Durant that they can win without him would drive the Draymond to the moon.

The first team that wins 4 games in this series will win the championship. The first to lose 4 games won’t win.

Yup.
