Celts win tonight series is over.curry has a great game 1 they lose.tatum has a bad game 1 they win.based in that fact alone the celts are a better team.horford has a career night, he earned it.i hope he gets a ring.he comes across as a great guy
Yea it isI don't think the series is over if Boston wins tonight. Their biggest issue is consistency and they were taken to the brink by shorthanded Bucks and Heat teams. Boston looks by far the best team in the league one night and like the team they were early in the season the next night. Even if they go up 2-0 I wouldn't hand them the trophy. You hit 51% of your threes and you're going to win most games. You get Horford and White hitting 11/16 threes and you're going to win most games. More than ever it's a make-or-miss league.
I think Boston will win because I'm not sure GSW win it all with this version of Klay. He's just not what he used to be. I still think the series is going 7 though.
Nobody has come back from 2games down in the finals.yea i know to there is always a first time. I'm not saying they're winning the finals but beating g.s at home twice it's pretty much over
Wait & watch- NBA wants this 1-1 so bad- look for Warriors to get all the calls….I wouldn’t overreact to one game- have a feeling this will be a long series- with that said I am rooting for Boston…
Yep the Celtic killer refs are working the game
Kudos to the officials for putting a stop to this kind of violence. Highlight of the game was Steve Javie crediting the officials for not calling an obvious tech on Draymond because he already had one.
I don’t think anyone really expected Boston to take two in San Fran so it’s whatever. I just hope the WWE stuff swings the other way back east.
It's not about favoring the Warriors or Celtics in regards to winning the series. It's about making sure the series goes at least 6 games and stays interesting for fans because that makes money for the NBA. It's a business. This was an extreme game because the league really couldn't have the celtics go up 2-0 going home in an NBA finals series.Seeing this thread as a non-Celtics fan is a great reminder that our fan base is as silly and “homeristic” as any other.

It’s not even a recent development. They have had the #1 rated defense by this metric 3x since their run begun. The only times they have been outside of the top 10 is when their roster was in shambles.
Turnovers killed the C's
I think the Warriors must actually practice complaining to the refs. They've perfected it.
I think Jayson flails too much. I think Grant complains too much. But the Warriors are 10x worse as they cry in unison, with Green being their supreme leader.
GS played like they knew they had to win. C's did not
On to Boston
