Warriors win game 6 with Klay. Game 7 is up for grabs. but we not doing coulda would shoulda so Boston gonna hold this L as the inferior team :yeshrug:
You can't say that definitively it was a 4 point game with an entire quarter to go....the narrative around this series is funny because if the Raptors closed out game 5 and took it in 5 games the opinion would be they were the better team.....But those 3 mins where they stole game 5 allowed for the injury excuse to become the talking point....

Celtics arguably had more talent but were not the better team no matter how he wants to spin it

I really wish he didnt go off that one game with all the 3s. Hes going to be gassed the rest of his career off that
exactly

that's like saying the 2014 Spurs shouldve lost to the 2014 Heat bc the Heat had more talent

the spurs were a better TEAM

Semantics maybe…these dynasty warriors have always been more than the sum of their parts..so maybe he means that he believes the Celtic were better as a collection of individual players, which I probably (maybe?) agree with (honestly haven’t given it much thought)…I just know that the dubbs weren’t some overwhelmingly talented squad…you had Steph, who’s a generational talent, surrounded by a bunch of role players (Wiggins was a fringe allstar player this year, and wouldn’t have sniffed a selection had he played on the vast majority of other teams in the league…Dray and Klay aren’t who they once were)…but those individual pieces fit together in a way that makes the overall team performance championship worthy…I’ve chalked that up for years to the nature of Steph’s game and how his offball impact is more productive than other star players in today’s game that follow the heliocentric model
