Warriors (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Finals Game #3 6/8/22

I still hope someone decks Draymond in Game 4. You know he'll be on a mission, but I hope the C's fight back. Maybe have Timelord just drive and basically plow over him even if it results in a charge lol

Grant Williams might fill the bill.

Grant looked ready to pummel him midway through the game.

It is a bit embarrassing watching Draymonds antics. He has clearly lost a step and isn't bringing a lot to the table except for his cheap shots and hatred. Really feels fraudulent, like he needs to overcompensate for his declining skills.

Which makes it all the more irritating that the refs don't throw his *** out

Grant should've swung an elbow at his face. That thug

Green will try to be a hero Friday after that performance. Use it against him.

Like several said… klay and curry played well. GS doesn’t have that third option.

yeah stay on top of screens and pound curry abd klay next game. make them wilt under oressure.

next game is a mUST WIN for us. need to be up before heading back on the road

WIN ALL HOME GAMES and we are golden

Yep, gotta keep closer to them at the arc. If Rob keeps playing like this it doesn't matter if they get past us into the paint.

bingo. i said that before the series started. make them drive and see what happens

Only thing hotter than the boston win is Malika Andrews.

I hope they don't...the last thing we need is an ejection. As long as we keep him ineffectual like he was tonight I'll be happy 

Or maybe they can deck him in a subtle way

The Warriors have outscored the Celtics by 43 points in the third quarter The Celtics have outscored the Warriors by 40 points in the fourth

[celticinorlando]

Celtics left some meat on the bone
-7 or 8 missed FTs
-19 points for GS off turnovers
-a 7 point possession

And won by 16. With curry and Klay hitting 11 3s and combining for over 50 points. Wiggins with 16 points.

This Boston team is better than any of the Cleveland teams the Warriors played in the Finals and arguably better than Toronto with Kawhi.

Warriors lose 116-100 and now are down 2-1 to the Celtics in the NBA Finals They were bullied. Simple as that

Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron yesterday

Tonight was quite the gut-check for the Warriors. This Celtics team played inspired basketball and, though it had some memorable moments, Golden State ultimately couldn't match Boston's fire. The Warriors — and Draymond Green in particular — need to re-evaluate some things.

[Indocelts]

Actually we’ve kinda owned the Warriors for the last few years. The  record for the last 10 games including this game is 8-2 in favor of the Cs.

The Cs is the Warriors’ kryptonite.

Just got home, the Garden was ROCKING tonight. What a win! Take care of business at home and this title is ours!

Marcus has to engage the guy. Marcus is our enforcer and he needs to get into Green's face more.
Give him a good shove like he did Embid a couple of years ago. Grant Williams doesn't seem to mind mixing it up with Green.
If we get overly physical with him, he will lose his focus and get caught up in confrontations.

Marcus is too valuable this series, I would not risk his ejection.

[kraidstar]

Rob at the podium said he's been struggling with pain and was taking a risk playing. When pressed by a media member he backtracked and said it was pain tolerance and he's not at risk.

Either way a heroic effort.

He also ssid getting on the bike and loosening up earlier helped.

WOW JUST WOW

we are a team of PITBULLS

Yup exactly. Since the Brad Stevens 2015 era felt like the team was designed to counter the Warriors. We have their number.

I don't understand how they consistently let Draymond yell at the refs and he doesn't get teed up. Where is Joey Crawford.

Joey Crawford is somewhere waxing his bald head and counting his payoff money he has left over from fixing Game 7 of the 2010 Finals.
