Celtics (1-0) at Warriors (0-1) The Finals Game #2 6/5/22

Draymond might be a total butt nugget, but he was spot on with assessment after Game 1.  14 of 23 on 3’s from Horford, Smart and White would be hard to replicate.  Just didn’t figure on a complete no show from Al and Marcus.

Take the split and head home!

Nothing less than 60% shooting would overcome the crime.duo reffing tonight.

I mean we saw white get intentionally tripped with no call and Javie admit the refs don't call it straight.

What more do we need ?

yeah, that admission was astonishing. you’re not supposed to state the secret stuff out loud.

[Phantom255x]

Is it just me or does Grant look a little lost at the moment?

Yeah he really hasn’t done much since Game 2 of the Heat series

But he’s also my pick as someone to step up and do well in Game 3. Hopefully the homecrowd can get him going

Lol Tony Brothers tonight

All my friends and family are saying the same thing. How can a former ref and league reffing official come out and say, yeah, the refs should consider if someone already has a tech and possibly no call the incident on purpose to keep the player in the game. You basically give a guy like Green carte blanche to be as dirty as he wants because the refs are going to purposely keep him in the game.

It's a stunning public admission and damaging to the NBA as a whole. It admits what so many have been claiming for decades. Favoritism toward certain players and that refs will attempt bending and ignoring the rules to "game" the possible outcome of a game

Because, who knows what type of a game this is if GSW loses Dray that early in the game. A completely different outcome is quite possible if the Dubs think their heart and soul guy is gone and Boston is ahead.

It was pretty obvious Mark Jackson disagreed strongly and then Can Gundy goes on a rant about it being the right call but then his argument agrees with what Jackson felt, that what Steve Javie was shockingly wrong in every way.

It's something I really hope the Boston media pick up on. It was an outrageous admission

Yeah, Van Gundy spoke himself into a complete moronic circle there. I have no idea what he was supposed to be going on about by the end.

Oh well. As JB said postgame, it's up to us to lift our physicality and meet them. "Looking forward to the challenge"

I think van gundy, while explaining why he thought it was right, realized it was wrong lol.

[RockinRyA]

I'm not sure we can afford to go with the two big lineup anymore. I would sub in Grant for TL, as he's more suited to defending Wiggins or Draymond. White as the first in off the bench, TL keeping to 15-20 minutes as the lone big.

Yeah.maybe even start grant, sub rob to rest al.

Idk if anyone else has noticed but Van Gundy has said some astonishingly stupid things the past few games he's called, even for his standards. They will show the replay and he will disagree with the most obvious of calls just to be that guy. He was the one of that trio I actually didnt mind but after this years playoffs all 3 can take a long walk off a short cliff

[ozgod]

Man what a let down. Turned it off and headed into work early once I saw Nesmith and the bench mob in the game. These 3rd quarters are just inexcusable. And what happened to JB after the 1st qtr. He came out on fire then just disappeared.

And they need to get the perimeter pick and roll defense ironed out. Im tired of seeing minimal effort from the on ball defender to fight over the screen because they think help is there and our help defender is at the free throw line like they are expecting Ja Morant to come soaring in there for a drive in the paint.

And idk if it was by design or just the way they matched up in the fast breaks but there were far too many mismatches at the beginning of the shot clock. No reason JT should be matched up on Draymanned and Grant matched up on Steph while Theis is on Poole. They were getting abused on the perimeter

Fouls. He got 2 fouls and it disrupted his rhythm. Then Draymond went at him and mentally got him off his game even more. He started the game with 13 points in the first quarter then he finished the game 1 for 11 after that.

[Billz401]

I also had a question for you guys, when was the last time you have seen a ref call a tech and then review it and rescind the tech? Is this something new? I watch a lot of ball and i cant quite remember a time they rescinded a tech mid game before. I always thought if it was called it was set.

I mean we all saw Poole reach out to trip White from the baseline angle and they come up with this "hes trying to protect himself" bs. Like Mark Jackson said if you do that out on the streets you are most likely catching hands

Yes at that point the referees are no longer neutral arbiters, they are trying to "make" the game, for whatever reason. Whether the reason is ejecting Draymond would sway the game to the Cs, or keeping Dray in would sway it to the Dubs.
