Grant Williams: “I Can Say CONFIDENTLY the Celtics Were Better Than The Warriors” EDIT: STEPH EHTERS GRANT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE AT THE ESPYS

[MJ Truth]

Can't be better if yall lost

Yes you can.

 

[areohbee824]

I mean, if the were the better team, then why they lose?

 

[MJ Truth]

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 impact and how his offball impact is more productive than other star players in today’s game that follow the heliocentric model

I mean Steph gets all of the credit for it but really that’s a weak thing. Steph has benefitted just as much from the Warriors system and his teammates as they’ve benefitted from him. Not to mention having a core that’s played together their whole careers with a coach that’s been there for the last seven or eight years is huge when the majority of players seem to switch teams every two years.

Without Steph, the dubbs aren’t even a thing…there’s no system to benefit from and there’s no core nor coach worth keeping around

That may be a half step or so hyperbole, but IMO this ain’t some kinda unanswerable chicken and egg quandary…steph is the answer

 

[Morethan1]

Yes you can.

Celtics didn't

 

[UpAndComing]

Warriors fans puffing their chest when it's obvious Celtics were the better team


If the Celtics bench were more consistent and Tatum just played up to his normal production, Celtics are winning in 5 or 6. That Game 4 loss was the sign of the lack of experience and compusure
Grant Williams gave the Warriors props on being more disciplined and more experienced. Which was true. But ya'll still don't like it

 

[GOAT]

it's the same reason u see no rings. celts weren't better

al horford and derrick white having an anomaly 4th quarter in game 1 saved them from losing in 5

Speak your truth, Grant

 

[SchoolboyC]

And the Bucks were better then the C's if Middleton was healthy

Do the Celtics also get a healthy Robert Williams in this scenario or are we stuck with the restricted one legged version that missed the majority of the series?

 

[FaTaL]

I mean, if the were the better team, then why they lose?

Because their stars can’t dribble left handed

 

[Paper Boi]

I really thought they were going to win before the series

then Jayson Tatum played more like Devin Booker than Kobe Bryant

I think better team is the wrong way to put it, more like they had the most talent. Those intangibles like discipline and experience are what made the Dubs the better team IMO

 

[Joe Sixpack]

Except they were Cavs was a choke job and Raptors was bc of serious injury to a superstar and a star

This bamma is such a dumb ass

Stop posting you’re terrible

You get the healthy and Milwaukee still better, just like the Lakers would have been better with a healthy Ariza or Bynum back in the day

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

It is what it is

I’m pretty sure the Warrior players felt they were better than the Cavs & Raptors when they lost

It’s athlete talk

Bro stop it

 

[AJtheOne]

Fukk him and the Celtics. glad them dudes loss.

Racist ass Boston don't deserve anymore chips
