The Irish Try To Cross The Bay, Will They Make A Splash? | Official Celtics vs. Warriors NBA Finals Thread

[SAINT]

Nesmith would he great in the Finals

Youth, Athleticism, Agility he brings would he vital to chase the Warriors through screens and run them off the 3 point line

If he can hit 3 threes a game, it would be great

He should be able to get to the cup on the close outs against the warriors as well. Ime was not going to risk him dribbling against MKE/Miami and rightfully so. But the warriors are a marathon, Ime’s going to need to play him at some point he just gotta be ready when time comes hit his shots, defend and limit his fouling.

Nobody thinks or has ever said Tatum is better than Curry. Brown is clearly better than Klay at this point in their careers.

youd be surprised
since Curry started falling off (after becoming 1 shy of the 3pt record) a lot dont view him has a top 5 player. shyt...look at the all-nba team

Most see Giannis, Jokic, Luka, Tatum and Embiid as the NBAs top 5 now with Morant being on the edge of that .

I aint saying I agree...just telling you what the sentiment is

 

[Stone]

Raptors had a 6pt lead with 3 minutes left in the 4th, what does KD have to do with that?

Warriors got a boost early with Durant giving them a quick 12 in the first before he blew out his achilles. Lead is probably bigger than that without it

 

[Ohene]

anyways,,,Celtics could very well tighten up and make this a legit series. to act like they dont have the talent, size, and enough experience to win is just ignorant.

objectively the Warriors are correctly favored though. stranger things have happened but Warriors in 6 barring injury

Oh good Lord...

True

And alot of people don't realize the Celtics can play fast as well, and are a very good fastbreak team. With Tatum and Brown running at the wing, Timelord with the dunks. Pritchard and Grant Williams with the pullup 3's, etc

And they also have an ability to make the opposing team play slower

You dudes and these titles.

you didn't tag me? i'm east oakland born and raised

 

[CSquare43]

They’re battle tested and match up well against the Warriors

I have been saying Dubs in 6 and that's how I voted, but I could see this going 7, especially if both teams are healthy.

I wish we had some battle tested guys, but we're stuck with Steph, Klay, Dray and Loon... maybe Andre if he can make it back (don't axe me how)





Dubs in 6, but no ill will to the Celts brehs, just keep Smart from taking out one of us, that's all I ask.

 

[Ironman]

Warriors in 5 Boston is too gotdamn stupid

 

[ExodusNirvana]

As long as the Dubs play disciplined as they have been throughout Kerrs tenure, they will dispatch this Celtics team quite easily.

And when I say disciplined, I mean:

Poole not doing dumb shyt wanting to be a superstar before his time

Wiggins finishing bunnies at the rim

Not allowing Marcus Smart to drum up easy flops

Not leaving Celtics shooters open on the wings

 

[nairdas]

Raps were outplaying the warriors before klay got hurt

If I'm not mistaken didn't they take the lead after that Klay dunk? I know for a fact all the momentum was on their side before he got hurt. Trust me they were winning that game if not for that.

Edit: My bad, they already had the lead by that point. Yeah that game was over with bruh.

So is Smart vs Curry the matchup we should be paying attention too?
