    Warriors have a great coach as well as a good defense. They have one of if not the best offense in the NBA. This series is not done by a long shot.
    Celtics will relax a bit in game 2 and this thing goes back to Boston a 1-1 series.

    I was impressed with how Pritchard shut Poole down.

    This will be an epic series.
    Saw glimpses last night. If we get a game or two where both these teams are 'clicking' the entertainment and skill level will be off the charts.
    Always foolish to come to ANY conclusions after Game 1. I wouldn't bury the Dubs just yet.

    Way too much talent and experience on that team to count them out by any means.

    I'm betting Terry Stotts will be interviewed for the position. I don't know if he will get it but I'm betting they will talk to him.

    Haha I knew this Boston defense was going to give the Warriors fits.

    The way this team is designed they have perimeter defenders up and and down the roster and lots of dawgs.

    Or maybe Kerr is channeling his inner stotts by not trusting Kuminga and playing Poole and Payton instead.

    Its sucha false narrative. If barnes or mobley etc were on the rosters, theyd be playing almost 40mpg

    Green should be ejected. That’s typically a technical. But the refs didn’t want him tossed. They should have though. It’s not their fault that Green can’t keep his shit together.

    This is why it's important to develop your young guys before playoff time. It didn't matter for Stotts though. He was always going to play the same players throughout a playoff series with little to no creativity to change the game plan when it wasn't working.
