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

Honestly how much better can GS play? Curry is gimpy and has one day rest. Klay and curry went for 50 plus and 11 3s. Wiggins has 16. Cs still won. Do people think green’s antics are going to again push them to a win?

Warriors aren’t getting tougher in one day…or bigger. Crowd will be amped…Celtics need to ride the wave here.

I think at some point, this team will learn to bounce back well from a win in these playoffs and play two solid games in a row. 

I think this is the round it finally happens.

"bounce back from a win"

lolol

The only thing that can beat the Celtics... are the Celtics.

Don't get me wrong, Draymond definitely affected our guys with the antics and the refs played a part in Game 2, but we ultimately had too many turnovers and were ice cold shooting in the 2nd half which allowed them to pull away. We were still pretty much in the game at halftime. But then again, too many turnovers and dumb decisions. When the C's play sound basketball and keep up the defensive intensity, they are tough to beat

People say Wiggins can go off but the thing is Wiggins doesn't usually put up 25+ either regularly. I also think Klay could do well shooting but he's not good on the defensive end right now either so it may be a wash anyways. They are asking Curry to be sensational and I don't think he can be for three more games this series.

I expect this to get more frequent unless someone "does" something.
He thinks we tried to hurt princess Curry, so he'll feel justified in trying to "return" the favor.

Toucher and rich said it's almost a given golden state will respond and win game 4. They very well may, but it's not like they played a bad game. Klay and Steph combined for 53 and Wiggins actually played well.

Unless refs get involved like game 2. I think it should be an even game again like game 1 or 3

The celtics have yet to show that they win an important home game. I am not expecting a win, but hoping like crazy for one!

Is this true? Weird how they got to the NBA Finals without winning one important home game.

Let's go through it: Bucks series: Lose game 1 to lose home court advantage. Lose a pivotal game 5 that puts them down 3-2. There's 2 huge home losses. Game 7 was a good win, and I will give them that.

Heat series: Lose game 3 to give Miami home court advantage back. Lose game 6 at home to clinch the ECF.

I just gave the 5 most important home games of the playoffs so far, and 4 of them have been loses. So instead of being sarcastic, why don't you acknowledge we've been beyond disappointing at home these playoffs.

yeah but then game 2 against bucks was huge to win, game 4 against Miami at home was huge. you cant discount games where they win after a loss as not big games.

AND we have won 2 in a row twice. nets and bucks.

but yeah it is time to win all our home games. that is probably his main point. time to win game 4 giving us two wins in a row and put GS on the ropes headed back to their barn up 3-1 in a closeout. who knows if we go up 3-1 they MAY CHOKE at home in game 5. ya never know.

yup. per post game comments it sounds like curry is having issues now. he may not be 100%. attack him and finish him in game 4. break his will. garden will be insane now after klay crying postgame and others. 

right. for some reason i have faith we have finally turned the corner listening to IMME and tatum post game. USE OUR SIZE AND IMPOSE OUR WILL.. make them wilt. they cannot stand up to that. i think we are starting to wear them down already.

wiggins will NOT beat us.

lock down and hang on curry do not let him even shoot and the warriors will be in deep trouble.  not even sure klay can carry them at this point. shut down currys threes make him hit midrange. if he gets too close it can be blocked by AL or timelord so not even worried about his drives.

all this dude wants to do is answer all of our buckets by jacking threes. shut that down and we will be in good hands.

Same old song: limit turnovers and play just an average third quarter.

Boston is the only team that can beat Boston.

The postgame comments from the Warriors complaining about the fans, wow. I expected complaints about the officiating but complaining that the fans on the road in the finals use bad language? Hahahahaha! Just imagine what they would have heard if they were actually ahead for more than a few plays during the game.

It's one thing I respect about Kobe:  I can't imagine him criticizing an opposing crowd for being too tough.  I have my own views on heckling and the like, but players need to accept that it comes with the territory.  So long as it's not physical and it's not racist, players need to play through that.

Quote from Klay - "We've played in front of rude people before," Thompson said. "Dropping F-bombs with children in the crowd. Real classy. Good job, Boston."

So he's ok with his PF being dirty, pulling Jaylen's pants down, dropping Fbomb after Fbomb to celtics players.  Call Williams out in the media and the countless other things that are a poor example of a role model but he's upset that there are kids in the crowd hearing Fbombs.  I mean there are kids that emulate Draymonds antics and that's ok.  Come on Klay grown up.    Let the parents educate their kids why swearing is not ok for children to do and if they hear adults do it, it does not mean it's ok for them.  GSW can be big babies when they lose and arrogant asshats when they win.

His PF teammate literally dropped the s-bomb next to his kid in the postgame comments.

Klay is a hypocrite, lost any respect for him so I hope he fails miserably. Seems like there's nobody that's likeable in the Warriors team. Bunch of scums
