I LOVE that the refs let them play btw. So refreshing. Wish the entire postseason was like that

With the exception of that bad D White blocking call I agree.

Marc Davis mightve had a change of heart with the Celtics suddenly

If they learn to rebound at the half, they'll win easily.

Big impact by Derrick White that quarter. Picking up where he left off from the last series.

He looks really good on Curry.

We are in the Finals, baby! And we are fighting!

In the Finals and easily could have been blown out of that half.  But did not wilt. D got stronger as the half wore on. Love being up 2 after GS must have felt pretty solid about their offensive performance.

He was running circles around everyone

Warriors remind me a lot of the Nets. Two great shooters, dubious size and athleticism.

[SparzWizard]

We can definitely agree for NBA fans that Warriors/Celtics is much better and more entertaining than Warriors/Heat

Loved the pick up of our D.

Officiating in our favor. Mostly swallowing the wistle except some kind calls for Tatum

Yeah, such an enjoyable half, as they let both teams actually play without calling fouls incessantly.

Of course, that means they'll clearly switch things up and start calling everything in the second half now.

Yeah don't get me wrong, our defense in the 1st especially on Curry was bad. But my biggest gripe is Horford and Timelord and Theis all missing rebounds on a Warriors missed shot. You can't just let them get 2nd chance points, not against that caliber of a team, and yet GSW probably had 8-10 points off of them alone.

[Silas]

I've always liked D White.

Our bench looks good.

it’s tough to rebound against the GS offense. lots of off-ball motion and high PnR force the bigs to spread the floor. also, lots of long rebounds from deep shots. we’re not really running, so need to have everyone crash the glass.

Wow, a half of basketball in less than an hour? This game is going fast.

We also tipped off within 15 minutes of the actual start time.

[Neurotic Guy]

I’m still cringing with every 3 attempt by DW but he’s 2-4 and I think that’s 3 games in a row looking better.  I’m not buying it for a while.
