Tied 2-2, Do You Believe?

Of course I still believe. Jeez, they only need to win 2 games. They did it against Milwaukee. The won game 7 in Miami.
There’s 30 teams and their fans who would love to be in this position.
Sure I wish they would stop turning the ball over, and missing free throws, but that’s the way it is.

Sometimes I think Pitino was right, the negatively in this town sucks.

The one thing I've found disappointing is how it seems like each time Curry goes to the bench, we still end up scoring the same amount or even get outscored by GSW for that stretch. Like that should be a prime time to take advantage and we don't. I don't have the stats in front of me but it feels like that's been the case for most of the series. Obviously the turnovers play a big part in that but it's something they need to fix.

Golden State is the one team other than Milwaukee where you need to take advantage of certain periods (like when a Giannis/Curry goes to the bench briefly) and the margin for error is less.

That isn't true at least in the GS wins as Curry's +- is greater than the teams winning margin.

Oh okay. I'm probably just thinking of a few certain periods like early in the 4th in Game 5 when Curry sat, the Warriors went on a 7-0 run to start the 4th. My point wasn't really that the Celtics play better when Curry is on the court obviously, but it feels like there's opportunities to really cut the deficit or build the lead when Curry sits but the C's rarely are able to. Doesn't help that a guy like Poole, Klay or Wiggins is able to shoulder some of the load I guess
