I am surprised you even watched an NBA game. I thought you only like college hoops.

I was at a relative’s house. I used to be a huge NBA fan until they starting making superstar rules more obvious and quit calling traveling.

Don’t forget I ran an NBA finals contest here for a couple years.

Except to those of us that said “Go Warriors!”

meh. next time you relocate you'll be rooting for the Kansas City/Omaha Kings.

I lived in Omaha when I was very young. Go Corn!

HA!

Traveling??
What’s that?
It’s not just the extra steps on dunks and such, but also the pivot foot “drag”, which is getting ridiculous!

Also, the rules are such that there isn't much defense. Yet the 2 teams in finals every year play as good of defense as the rules allow. I think MJ would average between 40 and 45 in today's game, perhaps more.

Will most likely be an interesting game, with drama, technical fouls, maybe a “brawl”………who knows.
My predictions….
Celtics can only win if they win easily, almost in a blowout fashion.
Warriors can do this as well.

If it is a close game, down to the wire? Warriors will execute better, and take the title.

Only thing I’d add is Tatum is a monster, but he doesn’t tend to be that after adversity. I like Brown a LOT and have since he’s been in the league.

Congratulations Warriors 🍺

I hope everyone took my advice on betting Brown tonight…….

Congrats to dynasty team. Green played his azz off.

About 6 years ago a reporter asked Damian Lillard what Steph Curry’s range was. He answered “when he steps off the bus”.

better team, and better coached team won.

Yep. Two things..

Wiggins shut down Tatum, something no one predicted, and are not talking about too much. The narrative being Tatum was just off, fatigued, etc. Wiggins has emerged as a solid to elite defender.

Steve Kerr thoroughly out coached Ime imho. And that won’t be discussed much either, but the fact of the matter is, the Warriors made adjustments, and ultimately figured out the Celtics on BOTH ends of the floor.
If not for that crazy hot streak the Celtics had in Game 1, this would have been over in 5. As it was, not really as close as it seemed. Warriors figured them out. No real point guard for the Celtics who could help them get their offense in some kind of rhythm, while the Warriors simply had too many weapons.

Bad news for the league is Warriors have $$$$……..give no chits about salary cap fines, and have a core of FOUR young guys who are gonna be very good to dominant players in the league.

They did actually call traveling on Tatum(?) in the 3rd quarter(?) last night... I was watching
but could be wrong on both points, but traveling was definitely called...I noticed, because it had
been awhile since I've heard it called...#-o

They called Smaht for double dribble too. Couple of calls should have been no calls, and a couple calls were questionable but overall pretty well done by the crew/

Agreed………they basically let them play.
On the shot in the 4th, where Curry “put the Celtics to sleep”………….who/what/how did Smart get smacked in the nuts?
No one is talking about it, it it looked like, from one VERY SHORT video, from another angle, that Curry kind of gave him a back fist to the crotch as he exploded by him……….but I’m not sure.

If so, Smart deserves that shot, because he was brutalizing Curry on the previous possession, and thru much of the game.
That sequence was actually awesome……….Smart goes down wincing in pain, can’t move, Curry calmly buries another three, and puts the Celtics to sleep!

I’m with Stephen A Smith……………..Warriors win it again next year.

The Warriors can suck a fat donkey dong.
