4th quarter celts. Absolutely insane game for them. They honestly look extremely fucking good I'm defense when they are fully locked in and man they amount of shooter they have esp Al as a trailer got damn man. Been impressed by this team all playoffs.
Yeah. I agree. I'm being a chicken little here. Iggy's minutes in the fourth along with Poole started Boston's comeback.
That iggy poole porter etc lineup was absolute trash lmao.
tbf, if Tatum was hitting his normal shots, that could've been even more of a blowout.
Cause he was just bricking easy looks. That early airball was a bad sign
a weird game, almost not sure what to make of it. Both teams seemed to get what wanted...until GS got nothing in the 4th and get clamped
I feel game 2 will be more indicative of the overall series
I think poole will get going tbh. I'm not as worried about Poole as other people. His defense is bad, but that's not new. I think he'll be able to score fine. All the rotation issues and open 3s weren't on Poole

The Cs pretty much dared him to shoot, not even bothering to close out. And he still missed, hahaha.
draymond crying in the parking lot and asking if KD can somehow come back to the team.
He could start with "why am I have the worst post season year of my entire career, am I completely washed" as a topic.
Agreed. That confidence and fearlessness in the 4th. Yeah. Loved how jaylen brown set the tone and then all these guys followed and taytum pretty much showing just how he can impact the game even on an off shooting night. Just an incredible team win.
I've been holding my tongue in favor of Draymond for about 2 years now
This is not the same DPOY guy, whether hes drowned in complacency or whatever
Fully expecting a Warriors W here next game as many will be, but this loss feels different
Because Celtics played D...and Draymond was the last person to touch the ball as the shot clock ran down.

538 now gives the celtics a 92% chance of winning the ring. they are going all in.
Horrible takes in the ESPN post show thing on youtube right now, saying shit like this is just a throwaway game for the Warriors
Bro they lost game 1 at home after not losing at home the entire playoff run, they held the lead by 11-13 and ended up getting blown the fuck out

Na Celtics shot their ass off in that 4th QTR. They earned it, more so than the Warriors choking imo.
and klay wasn't even that bad the way I see internet comments talking.
Actually played some good dense on brown in the 1st half. He wasn't great, but didn't have a shocker
a weird game.
feel like i need to watch highlights. Not sure if GS was collapsing too hard on drives or what
--
watched some 4th quarter highlights. GS was definitely ball watching and cheating some on drives, before losing their man for the 3s.
wonder if they'll adjust and let the primary defender try to defend more. Will be interesting
GS went scoreless for like 4 minutes and gave up a 17-0 run in the 4th quarter of a finals game. Including missing 2 Free Throws
That's choking. No other words, can't happen
Also, Celtics executed amazingly and drained their shots.

Honestly the grizz series showed me they were def beatable with a young healthy disciplined squad. Honestly not suprised by the celts esp the gauntlet they've. Had to run through this postseason. I think this game hurt the warriors more ways than one because Celtics ain't scared. Lol
Wiggins also played a good game. Curry, Looney, Wiggins and to a degree Klay played great. I don't see the Celtics shooting this well again especially White and Horford. Kerr got too cute to start the 4th
On the flip side idk if Porter will make 4 3s and Steph will shoot well from 3 against this defense.

Did the NBA on TNT not do their post game show tonight? Charles, shaq, ej, and kenny show? Maybe not for late west coast games?
Klay was awful, not sure what game you watched. Shitty shooting followed somehow with much worse off defending.
Immediately thought of the same games Skip is mentioning here, he's done this many times before
Hahahaha skip is so good at his stupid job. Almost nobody on GS scored for like 5:30. I think after Steph's bucket GS scored..... 7 points, including garbage time 3 from the bench warmers. It was elite defense.
It's like the takes after KD looks like an MVP for half the year then he gets shut down in the playoffs with smothering defense and the takes are "kd is washed" nah, he's just older and he got attacked by 2 players every possession offense and defense.
Nice shooting Celts. I wonder how Horford feels knowing the nba media has already decided that Tatum and maybe Brown will be mvp if they win.
Warriors needs to not self-cool Steph off by keeping to regular season rotations and then not having him touch the ball every time down the floor. So many of those possessions in the 4th were just pure cringe. Oh yeah, and Draymond has to give SOMETHING as a scorer - someone mentioned they were leaving him open but he was also just a complete mess on layups and other attempts around the basket. I mean, dude, just because KD showed up shouldn't have meant you didn't practice offense at all for 4 years.

I don't they ever imploded though. (gs definitely did)
they hit timely shots to always keep the game close. And came out in the 1st hitting timely shots.
that's what impressed me about MEM. Every time it seemed there might be a lead, Melton or Jones would just walk into a 3 like they in a park, both home or away.
