Celtics (0-0) at Warriors (0-0) The Finals Game #1 6/2/22

[CBS_Take a Report]

It would make perfect sense for Jaylen to be the MVP of this series with JT earning honors for ECF. And they said they couldn’t work…

Pritchard can stay with Curry....we found that out tonight.

He D'd up Iggy in the post too.

It's also great that we got all of our mistakes guarding Curry on film to review (mindnumbing mistakes, IMO) and we still managed to win the game. If we slow him down into inefficient shooting nights I don't see how GS can continually muster enough offense to win 4 out of 6 games.  Poole is dangerous though, I think he'll play better next game.

I thought Rob and White really set the tone defensively early in the 4th. Then Jaylen started beasting and the Warriors lost their focus.

It is unnerving when an opponent takes your best shots and keeps getting off the mat.

yup.we took their best shot

they knocked us down

we got back up and knocked them down multiple times and won this decision

now next game lets knock them out

if they go down 2-0 headed to beantown

whoa nellie

As poorly as Tatum shot, he wound up with 13 assists.

This is a very underrated stat.

40-16 run in the 4th quarter!!

We can definitely nitpick a lot of the smaller things. But my biggest takeaway is that, Golden State's defense definitely isn't as good as years past. Klay looks a bit shaky on that end, and as good as Draymond is he can't guard everyone.

Yes, the offensive rebounds we gave up were absolutely frustrating to watch but the C's can definitely drive inside on the offensive end as much as they want. Looney/Draymond can't stop them consistently. Jaylen and White did it a ton and they either got an easy bucket or made a pass to an open guy outside.

Boston outscored Golden State 40-13 in the fourth quarter with zero points from Jayson Tatum

After watching them strut and all the media ball-washing (Mark Jackson ****), an amazing choke.

listening to Jackson's GSW lovefest was nauseating and infuriating.  I really miss Mike on the broadcasts

Also to add on to this, when you look at a lot of the scores of the games GSW played, I felt like GSW had to outscore teams more than they had to win by playing good defense. Teams managed to put up 110+ on them pretty regularly. Even the Denver Jokics put up 105+ every game except 1. Boston put up 120 on them tonight with Tatum shooting poorly.

So true.  Really hard to listen to those guys, they are in love with the GSW.

credit to ime for (finally) making the adjustment. the C’s sent 3-4 players into the paint on defense in the fourth.
