Dubs are my favorite team, and i expected them to lose to the suns, so i am very happy this year. Honestly. I had them out in the conference finals because going into the playoffs they were rotating injuries with their big 3. But the biggest surprise was how all their role players really stepped up.

I was a little worried with Denver honestly until the 1st game.

Oh I couldn't agree more with you. The Celtics this year have been a really really good team and right now they showed why they should be considered one of the better teams in the NBA for the next I don't know decade if they can manage it. Their defense has been awesome and their offensive been awesome and Jason Tatum has really exploded this year so I'm pretty worried about them. But let's wait for the first couple of games to go by and see what happens. I get a feeling this is going to be a knuckle dragging seven game series as a worst case scenario.

@@billdover3165 Tatum could choke tho Tatum hasn’t played good in close games against the heat in the 4th, him and brown too

5-38 had the Celtics as favorites since before the all star break, when you still would have gotten 41 dollar for one in a bet. The model was quite good this year, predicted the Lakers bad season from day one & some more good picks. It underestimated the Warriors, though. Also from the beginning.

@@christophermeyer3115 Hmm..i obviously didn't know with certainty that GS would beat Boston. But I did know that people were talking so much about the Celtics defense that they were seriously underrating the Warriors defense. As it turned out, holding Boston under 100 in 4 games, including the last 3 in a row, indicated GS had a heckuva D, and it's not just Draymond. Wiggins was great on D, so was GP2, Klay held his own and Steph has improved a lot from 2016 Steph that was great on offense but a big defensive liability. Looney did well too. This Warriors championship team may not have quite the offense earlier versions had when KD was there, but this defense they have now is far better.

Do people forget Warriors have a top defense too lol

Both teams have turnover issues,

Did you forget the saying “defence wins championships”? I’m guessing by “usually” you mean in the last 10 years?

You were correct about their turnovers it's literally what cost them the finals, how tf can you average 16+ turnovers a game

@@zermanman9891 good luck

Same can be said for Boston. Brooklyn were favourites in the first round. Milwaukee were favourites in the second. And the Miami series was pretty much split even. Both teams that have made the finals have been doubted the whole way through.

Did you see the part where tatum had the most turnovers by far??

I think you’ll be surprised by the lack of doubling from Boston. Even against Giannis there weren’t too many instances and the help always came from down low as opposed to leaving shooters wide open.

Good take. Turnovers and who can stay healthier for most of the games. If iguadala is health then it's going to be a major factor in defending brown and tatum. If rob wiliams and marcus smart are healthy it will be good for celtics against there guards and for draymond. Hopefully it's a series that competitive but I hope celtics can upset The 3 time champion

Celtics have the best road record these playoffs and have not lost 2 in a row since January (not counting the loss in Toronto when 4 starters didn’t play)

Yeah the Heat were also undefeated at home before dropping 3 home games to the Celtics

Thats because you played subpar injured teams, and you know It is the truth

Had 1 out of the 3 key players on GSW been out then yes, the celtics have a chance to win 1 game, it wouldnt be early on in the series and theyd win by 5 pts or less.

3 superstars coming back showing out should be a boost for golden state

A lot of rest could also mean rust

He said the warriors will win watch the video buddy

Especially against this Warriors team right now. They are absolutely on fire and I believe the longer rest period for the Dubs will also give them an advantage.

nuggest because their second and third player was out, grizzlies because they are an unexpierenced team, last year a play in team might I add, whos superstar was out and mavs because they have only one player that would start on most other contender rosters, celtics also beat 3 teams this post season, but much better ones

@@andyws0108 im not saying the celtics will win, im just saying the celtics have beat harder comp this run

Don’t forget that the Warriors have a longer gap period of rest till the finals compared to the Celtics! Might not be an immediate factor, but if this series goes 6 or 7, it might be the difference maker

What are your thoughts on the Celtic defense though?

True but 5-6 games

all that and still so wrong. bobo asa kpa manalo warriors mo. physicality at top-tier defense ng celtics ang lalampaso sa warriors mo kahit anong switch pa yan ok lang. asa kpa ky curry at poole, tingnan mo pano cla e massage nang celtics. ano gagawin nila ky horford sa labas? hayaan? bobo

I'm a Warriors fan. We have the same issue with inconsistency. This will be an interesting series.

Warriors struggled with turnovers especially against highly defensive teams, a lot turnovers happened against Grizzlies but they couldnt turn it to a bucket, i believe Celtics with a lot more star powers could make some difference with Jaylen Brown, Tatum and Horford.

@@hii8153 it does like 2 weeks or less

But Celtics are better defensive and offensive team than Memphis

They got a couple of day to refill the tank a little, but the warriors might come back rusty for game 1. Negatives and positives for both sides

The games are low scoring because they exert more on defense to slow down the game and play more in the half court offensive sets, then execute the fast break on turnovers. The Warriors don’t play as well when slowed down and forced into the half court. It’s all about controlling pace and the Celtics have managed to do that consistently, except when battling Giannis. But that’s a different story than making defensive stops on shooters. Defense wins championships. Warriors are also elite defensively, but they have a major size disadvantage which will give Celtics more of an edge on both ends of the court. The only thing that will lose the series for the Celtics is if they are shooting inconsistently, which has definitely been the case over the last two series. I agree the fatigue has set in on them, but they are also getting the biggest break they’ve had thus far in the playoffs. Jaylen Brown has been super sloppy with the handles lately as well. Again, I think the series is determined by the Celtics ability or inability to knock down shots and be consistent offensively. If they don’t get that under control, I think the Warriors will take it.

Lmao

Right

Giannis and Luka has far more playmaking responsibilities compared to Tatum. But arguable tatum spends more energy than even Giannis this playoffs.

Wdym? Not hating on them, but the Nets only had Kyrie in half the games, Middleton was out for the Bucks, and the Heat were riddled with injuries (Herro, Lowry, Butler).

Yeah this is just not true. The nets aren't a good team just because KD and Kyrie are there doesn't mean shit. They swept them like they should have. They went 7 with a Middletonless Bucks which is crazy. And the Heat had an outside shot to beat them even though they were clearly the inferior team....not looking good for the Celts.

@@acommenter4252 i know I was just saying this isn’t as much a playoff tatum problem as it is defences slowing down the primary ball handler

The Celtics run to the playoffs has been so tough. It was no doubt harder than the warriors.

Maybe you’re right about celts having a harder road but they played many injured teams. And warriors have a way in big moments of making really powerfull opponents look very small.

@@acommenter4252 If you've been watching the same playoffs I have, I don't know how you could seriously say GS's defense is better than either the Bucks or Heat. Maybe it's cause in the east, the refs let them be physical like a little bit of a throwback. But just watching the games (and looking and scores), defense in the east was better than west by a longshot imo.

I say Celtics in 7, but it can go either way at any moment.

The Celtics aren't an easy team like the Nuggets and Mavericks you know.

@@makgeoff uh, the Celtics don't face a team like the Warriors in the eastern conference either ......🤣🤣 Last I checked the Warriors weren't too shabby on defense. The Warriors have 4 different players that can go off for 35-50 points on any given night. Steph doesn't even have to score for the Warriors to win.

@@philobeddoe8342 The team plays with more heart, strategy, good execution wins. So I'm just as happy if it's the Warriors or the Celtics. I just want to see good fight between them, & not affected by injuries & lack of concentration (which I hate most with Tatum). I don't doubt one bit it'd be a different challenge to Celtics as Warriors' offense is a totally diff animal compare with prev 3 series with consistent & relentless cutting & movement. Celtics already had a taste of it in reg. season @ Golden State first half when Curry was not yet injured. That suffocating D caused them problems, while, Warriors played excellent D as well. If you haven't watched it I'd suggest you can watch the 1st hafl as that's how basketball should be played. Now is the playoffs so we only had a small glimpse of what it'd be. Both teams played hard that reg season game as it's a challenge for them to test the matchups before playoffs where they might meet. In this comment, I'm saying the Celtics, if cleaned up all those mistakes & be 93%+ mentally focused, will definitely give Warriors fits. On offense, Warriors do not hv many Celtics players they can attack on. Conversely, Celtics can attack Curry & Poole with size if in PnR switches. If Celtics throw a GW/Brown/Tatum/Smart/Horford lineup in there, they hv all 5 excellent defensive players who can shoot 3s with adequate height & great defenders. That will present a challenge to Warriors which they have seen so far in the playoffs. Whether they can handle it or not remains to be seen. Surely, if GP comes back, that'd be great help on D. I also wonder if Kerr will still use a lot of Looney + Green on floor at the same time. as both are non 3 pt threat I think he will do that with Horford & RW on floor to start off the game but not when GW + Horford on the floor. It's too bad that Wiseman is unavailable or this Warriors team will hv v little weakness.
