I think most teams would want to use the strategy of smothering the GS guards, but apparently the C's have the personnel and determination to execute that kind of defense.  Up front, GS is not all that big which is also favorable for the C's.

So yes, they match up well.

They definitely match-up well. For a team chasing an historic run, the only 2 games we get in the regular season we took them to double OT when they were on an unbeaten streak (credit Boston for them losing the next night ;) ) and won the other.

I think the only thing we need is a counter Linebacker for Draymond Green in clutch moments... https://vine.co/v/ijrQBvlddpH

The Celtics match up well against the Warriors better than any other NBA team, and their track record proves it. According to ESPN, the Celtics have had 4 games against the Warriors in the last 2 seasons decided by 5 points or fewer, the most such games in the league.

due to time difference to england i had to watch a replay
its amazing what you see knowing  the outcome
that game would have given me a heart attack
jerebko played well and broke up that fast break-a nice dunk-nice three
smart hit the layup then the three-the assist on taking it to hoop to jerebko
rozier and his rebounds but missing shots
avery going to hoop after ice skating-that court hurt isaiah  and bradley
isaiah and green going at it-
the crowd ,the crowd the crowd it was like the playoffs

Too bad we don't match up well against the Cavs, we need a Durant for that.  :P

I think that play should be reviewed by the league. Should be a 1 game suspension.

You can see the ref shaking his head in the back lol. I really don't like Green. Please god bring us Durant so we can kill the Warriors. They remind me of the 2008 Celtics, in the way the trash talk. Would love to break their will.

How the Celtics beat the Warriors aka Avery Bradley is a very excellent perimeter defender via BBALLBREAKDOWN.

And those Cavs can't beat GS to save their life....Its a vicious cycle. But I agree, we need KD to beat the Cavs, the Cavs need an AB to beat the Warriors and the Warriors need a prayer to beat the C's. Them Warriors must be thanking the basketball gods that the Celtics are not getting past the Cavs...otherwise we could very well upset the Warriors in the Finals. ;D

Yeah, I've been saying this to anybody who would listen as well lol. Our team strengths match up perfectly against GSW while our weaknesses aren't readily exposed by GSW.

Super glad we got the win. I thought we should've won back in Boston too.

We did beat the Cavs, in Cleveland.

But yeah, good point. TP.
