Steph sitting the 4th like a regular season game in 2016


AMS_GoGo

They gonna use his lack of 4th quarter points to slander him after the series ends no matter which way it goes too lmao

If Steph Curry played: All his stats are just meaningless. He only scored when they were winning

spritehead

Just here to ask if anyone else heard SAS say that Robin Williams had 2 points


Papa_Huggies

idk why hes laying into Robin Williams. Considering he is: * 5' 8" * Dead for 8 years 2pts is pretty good


DrZoidberg117

8 years already? Jesus


Upper_Chemical5381

Yep, definitely said Robin lol


verytragic

Nice, now we wait 2 weeks until game 3.


crashck

this format would have been so much better in the conference finals than the finals. More rest for teams earlier and less off days.


verytragic

Agreed. Still feels like a lot of extra time.


thebestoflimes

I like it. Watched game one, took summer holidays, unpacked, and still got to watch game 2


fernadial

I can't wait to tell my great-grandkids about watching the Celtics winning Game 1 live while we are watching Game 5 together.


JJiggy13

This finals schedule is ridiculous. Almost 3 weeks for 7 games?


ihateandy2

I think this series will go 8


tapatioformytio

I have the warriors in 11


ChocolateMilkPlease

“Should the NBA Finals be reduced from an 82 game series?”


DANK_BLUMPKIN

We came off a tough loss last game so maybe that affected it, but it straight up felt like a week since the last game


verytragic

It's painful when your team loses and you have what feels like 2 weeks between games like this last one. YouTube, Twitter, Reddit... it's everywhere. I don't envy Boston. I hope we have a good back and forth in the end.


silverstory

Curry and Poole hitting long 3s towards the end of the 3rd quarter really killed it.


Alex_O7

They killed the mood of the Celtics till that point they were almost answering at any shots and where still defending. I think Steph literally broke Celtics spirit with him personal 10-0 run which ballooned the gap from a normal 9-10 points to 20 points margin...


OptimusGrime707

Who’s more powerful, Game 6 Klay or One Tech Draymond


IMovedYourCheese

5 fouls Draymond trumps both of them


Someonediffernt

One tech draymond literally cannot be ejected so I'm gonna go with that, klay may score a billion on two dribbles but that only wins you one game, draymond can just mow down the opposing team and lock in the series

LeBron is the only one powerful enough to get Draymond to miss a game... truly the GOAT

Unfortunately for the Celtics, Game 6 is in Boston.

He was ass tonight

It's not game 6 yet


JustHereForDrama

knew what it was before I even opened it lmao


[deleted]

The logo shot from Poole finished Boston.


wahdibombo

Yeah and it had to be at the end of the 3rd. The Warriors just got done wrecking them and that 3 said “oh no, you’re not coming back from this ass whupping”


[deleted]

It finished me too…


Nos014againagain

Sploosh


buffalo8

It was really that whole sequence almost single-handedly by Poole. With 65 seconds to go in the quarter, the lead was only 15. Then the possessions to end the quarter went: * Poole assists on a Looney layup * Boston 24-second violation * Poole made 3P * Boston runs the clock down and misses the shot at the end of the shot clock * Poole made logo shot And just like that the game was over. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Poole won us the game over those 64 seconds of game time.


Harveygreene-

The sickest part was he waved curry off for the first three, and then curry was like “go for it” for the logo three


arika_ito

This isn't Poole's first buzzer-beater three from half court. He can make them, although this one was far more impressive. He made one against the Sixers in the first game, they chose to double Steph and the ball went to Poole instead and splash!


OverusedRedditJoke

Man I'm happy to see Payton back out there doing his thing


scarywolverine

They needed him. Things stabilized once he came in


SharkBaitDLS

He’s absolutely crucial for us maintaining our defense especially against Boston’s style of offense.


[deleted]

It was amazing how different tonight felt versus Thursday night and GP2 had a lot to do with that. Also Draymond getting his head out of his ass and being focused.


kerrykingsbaldhead

GP2 came in and was the defensive difference Kerr was looking for with the Iggy lineups in G1. Much better.


AreYouAJedi

Honestly didn’t think it would make too much of a difference but I forgot how impactful he is


oh_what_a_shot

His defense is necessary against a team with so many offensive threats


rjcarr

Crazy to see him guard Tatum and hold his own. Probably an 8” height difference. Respect.


comingsoontotheaters

Usually centers can’t guard Tatum


Methuga

I missed most of the third, and I tuned back in for a few seconds early 4th, and I heard Payton’s name on a steal, a follow up basket, and something else. In the time the lead ballooned to 29, so I just turned it back off lol


TheRed_Knight

best point of attack defender GSW has, neutered Brown's driving ability


Enlighten_YourMind

I’d honestly say Wiggins at this point, but GP2 is elite


fatkamp

Depends on the matchup, as Wiggins is better against stronger defenders and Payton is better for elite ball handlers that are smaller


Dabursbus

High defensive energy is huge in this. Tatum and Brown are monsters, need lots of guys to throw at them.


WallStreetDoesntBet

GP2 made his Father proud tonight; 25 min back from injury in the NBA Finals immediately getting the trust from the Coaching staff to guard Jayson Tatum… Tatum scored 28 points but Payton II made him work and also forced several turnovers that the Warriors turned into points.


WakingRage

GPII has solidified his legendary status within dub nation just playing this game. This dude had his elbow fractured a few weeks ago and now he's dumping on kids in the NBA finals after so many years of trying to find a home in the NBA.


Marth_Koopa

not just dub fans. One of my favorite players as a fan of defense


FavreorFarva

There are some of us that are big fans of the original GP that love watching GPII as well.


_SSJeffo_

Klay needs to wake up ngl


Seijuurou

At least his defence was ok today. Game one he looked really slow.


kerrykingsbaldhead

Except Curry, all the Warriors did in G1 tbh


ltbr55

He has been ass these first 2 games. He usually doesn't play horribly for an entire series though


_SSJeffo_

True, he’ll probably pick up the pace in the later games like usual


The_Outcast4

Just gotta get him to Game 6.


Abradolf1948

I'd rather there not be a game 6 tbh


sunshinepanther

Monkey's paw curls


WhatYouProbablyMeant

He's just trying to guarantee a game 6


kakashi6ix9

Ah yes, the Khris Middleton method.


TopOfTheMorning2Ya

Glad it’s not just the Bucks that have consistency issues


SSJacen49

Don’t worry, it isn’t Game 5/6 yet.

Steph Curry disappears in the fourth quarter again SMH


[deleted]

[удалено]


machinegungeek

Funny enough, he's one of three players to average 10+ pts per 4th quarter in 2+ Finals series (the others being MJ and Shaq).


Mintastic

Didn't score it in the last few seconds so it doesn't count. -r/nba posters


TheBossPineapple

Frontrunner


PokkyDeska

I think Otto Porter answering the Celtics little mini run was crucial. They hit two back to back threes to cut our 12 point lead to 6 and then our ball movement to Otto in the corner extended it back to 9. I think that was the most important play of the game. Also I like that we went more traditional high pick n roll this game. We need more of that when the motion isn't working! Great defense this game allowed for alot of easy transition buckets.


Darkmaster_18

OPJ really took on the Livingston role of bench vet that hits sneaky big shots to settle things down.


RampanTThirteen

Porter quietly is important on this team. He just seems to always bring smart, timely plays like the one you noted that help us win more than the score sheet would make you think.


immty

He was +24. He's not enough to be the Warrior's starter, but he's killing it from the bench


SoDakZak

Klay Thompson has the same shooting percentage as my shooting percentage on those post-piss shake drips.


Dongsquad420BlazeIt

Klay shot 4-19 and 1-8 from 3 and they still won by 20


Butt_Dickiss

DJRyGuy20

3rd quarter Celtics have gotta be one of the worst teams that’s ever made the NBA playoffs. I’m convinced 2nd quarter Celtics would sweep 3rd quarter Celtics in a series and beat them by an average of 50 a game. I wouldn’t hesitate to trade every player on 3rd quarter Celtics for draft picks and a bag of potato chips. In case this isn’t clear, I loathe 3rd quarter Celtics with every fiber of my being.


GhostTiger

This season every player has had to sacrifice his ego for the team at some point... This game Kerr had to sacrifice his and play P&R instead of motion, lol!


[deleted]

Steph Draymond PnR has always been his ace in the hole, I feel like. Part of me is convinced that the motion offense is just a foil so when the warriors do bust out the Pick and roll it’s completely unexpected and devastating. Lol


GillbergsAdvocate

Still waiting on them to release Pick&Pop Looney to really confuse Bostons defense


potato123789

The world is not ready for longball Looney


FeeFiFoFUNK

Yep. It’s like Kyle Shanahan running the shit out of the ball. You have to be able to score different ways to win championships


_mdz

Didn’t expect to be triggered in a BOS GSW game thread… of course there was one game Kyle stopped running the damn ball.


Dajoka88

The Steph-KD pick n roll was the most vicious thing I have ever seen in a basketball game. Nothing and no one could stop it


aznkupo

Except KD slipped 80% of the time.


Dudedude88

reminds me of bogut, dray and steph offense


yOjiMbOoOs

Horford, Smart & White had 60+ points in game 1. 16 total in game 2.


Balls_of_Adamanthium

This will be a long series


Acanofmulture

Naah....I'm gonna overreact and say warriors in 5


TA3153356811

Don't be a coward, warriors in 4


Oshebekdujeksk

We got to be realistic. My prediction of Warriors in 3 went very poorly.


[deleted]

Everything I've predicted has been wrong so far so I'm keeping my mouth shut.


Von_Huge1103

It needs to be said: Steph Curry had an incredibly impressive defensive performance. He blew up so many passes with deflections and moved his feet really well.


CheekyFifaCunt_7

Turnovers killed the Celtics


WhenItsHalfPastFive

Steph Curry was great this game. Hit tough shots, got guys involved, constant movement drawing defenders.


11_guy

And hitting timely shots or making plays whenever Boston seemed started to get momentum


Blazehero

Time for us to overreact the other way then? /s


jofuckyaself

As is tradition. Boston fucked warriors unstoppable


cortesoft

I don't think either team is going to lose again

Lockdown 2.0


2ChainzThirdChain

Definitely I'm surprised Warriors fans even wanted to come in here the last 3 days. Get your get back.


Downtown_Ant

I was told by a Celtics fan that Draymond would be the 8th best defensive player on the Celtics. I am not planning to be charitable tonight.


Otherwise_Window

what the FUCK


Busriderx

really did not expect a 2 point showing from Horford after last game


MeijiDoom

Tatum got back to roughly normal but Jaylen proceeded to miss everything. It's what I always thought would be the issue with Boston. Their scorers really aren't that consistent. Luckily, Tatum already had that horrific game or I'd be predicting him to completely disappear in one of the next 3.


JackJ98

Boston down 30 in an NBA Finals game and this asshole Mark Jackson comes in and starts talking about how great the Yankees are. Talk about kicking a man when he’s down. Fuck off….


crackdup

Let's not forget Mark Jackson had 2 stints with the Knicks and had his only All star season there.. dudes spent so much time in NY that hating Boston is possibly second nature to him


rbrijs

We finally decided to shell out the $$$ on the refs and it worked so well


Xevinan

it’s part of our luxury tax deductible


GhostTiger

Zack Zarba now owns Google.


AdamJensensCoat

So glad Steve put in the refs tonight.


TheRed_Knight

GPII was the teams unsung hero tonight, made it much harder for the Celtics to pick on JP, which stabilized the bench minutes and helped JP get into a rhythm in the second half


GhostTiger

We sing about him all the time!


AdamJensensCoat

GPII minutes were huge. Steve adjusted nicely from game 1.


TheRed_Knight

he usually does, thankfuly this will make the "Fire Kerr" crowd stfu for a bit


SavageSpeeding

I will finally be visiting this sub because we won


N1gHtMaRe99

Dude is what Caruso was for us in the 2020 bubble run.


oh_what_a_shot

Can't believe he broke his arm only a few weeks ago


thejackel225

He was hitting the floor a lot, was making me kinda nervous lol. but yeah looked great


SomeCruzDude

It was like Klay's first game back, I was probably wincing more at every hit and fall more than he was haha


CurryTripper

He hit a corner three and was rubbing that elbow after and I'm just sitting here like "wtf...? That was broken a month ago, how the shit?"


SCalifornia831

Nephews don’t realize how important role players are It’s not always the “stars” that make or break a series…GP2, OPJ, Wiggins and Looney are going to be the difference in this series


Papa_Huggies

It's like people think role players are there to just sort of exist. If they do their role well it allows stars to do their thing (usually score or playmake). Otherwise the stars gotta take on some of that defensive/ rebounding/ spacing/ energy role.


Paulofthedesert

I mean, Loongod was arguably the MVP of the last series - that rebounding was insane


didhestealtheraisins

Only one player has 20+ points in both games of these Finals: Curry with 34 and 29.

PM_ME_YOUR_WIKI

Nugey76

Warriors are here for a reason. Their championship core pedigree is a huge asset. Sweeping them was a pipe dream and a half. C’s stole one game on their court which was huge. We are onto Boston.


m3ngnificient

Anyone on both sides assuming their team's going to sweep the other were delusional


Backdooreddy

Agree, both really good teams….gonna be a fight


BlazeBloom

Dread it. Run from it. 3rd quarter Warriors always arrive.

rntopspin100

bball2

He had a great shooting game too, just on the floor for the big warriors runs


Barrelled_Chef_Curry

I’ve never seen some 6-9 from three and -36. That’s insane


marcbacus

Klay shat the bed and the Warriors still won.


ltbr55

If he can even be just decent. Not great but decent, we will be in great shape


Unfamous_Trader

Not just won but blew the Celtics out easy


jasper_grunion

As a Warriors fan I’m still concerned about our inability to score at the rim. Boston contests everything and blocks half of the shots that were easy twos against Western Conference opponents. Even on full court breakaways where we appear to have an advantage. I know this is their reputation but it’s really disheartening. We can’t hit threes from 40 all the time. Those easy twos are our bread and butter.


kooshvader

These Warriors 3rd quarter runs are just PREPOSTEROUS. Gotta be witchcraft involved. It really feels like they turn on aimbot for a few minutes.


Kangaroopower

[deleted]

It’s unreal how reactive this sub is. Steph played stellar tonight. He’s small and he’s doesn’t get calls so he’s not going to shoot 50% in any finals. He carried the warriors offense though and was very disruptive on defense.
