Yeah true. Seems like Warriors vs Bucks would have been the best finals if Middleton didn’t get hurt.

Boston, no one can put them away. When they look like they're down and out they just keep on grinding away. This is their year.

I could be wrong but seems like both of these teams would struggle at he Warriors. I’m going for Butler and the Heat to win it all but it’s just embarrassing some of these games

Vista Print patches would be s0 kewl!!!!!!

You just sound like sour grapes.




The warriors have drafted well and have reaped the rewards of excellent scouting and retaining the right players.

Lot's of bitterness in this thread now that Dallas is on the way out and the Warriors likely to win another chip. (And I say that with a heavy heart because I'm a C's fan)

didnt the warriors get blown out by almost 50 points this post season?

[blackbears86]

When the C's are on, damn they look good.



But then I remember the stinker from Saturday and this team worries me.

[Kingofkings1281]

Boston has the length and defensive intensity that bothers Golden State and they can score with them on any given night. It would be a hell of a series.

39 points but only because Ja want playing and holding them back.

Boston has the pieces to match up with anything the Warriors throw at them. Warriors look great right now.. but they haven't been consistent all season. It wasn't all that long ago they dropped like 7 or 8 out of 10-12 games, something like that. They were in a free fall for about a month before the last week or two of the season.

Not sure what (if anything) it says about the East that these are the two teams in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Boston looks like they have all the pieces, but then they have halves/games that make you question it all.

The Celtics haven't been consistent in weeks. Them taking games off will cost them against the Warriors.

We’re they dealing with injuries at that time or full strength?

I just want them to get past the Heat. I've never seen a team look so good one game and so bad the next. Just totally schizophrenic.

Is it schizo or bipolar?

[rms13]

This game is going exactly now I expected.

meh, warriors havent looked very consistent this post season especially considering who they have faced. although, stars for the celtics and heat keep getting banged up.

That was one game out of fourteen (so far).

Either the Celtics or the Heat have been stinking it up pretty much every game. Hasn't been a single game in the series where both have played well.

And given that the Warriors will have home court advantage in the Finals, I don't see either of the teams from the East playing well enough over seven games to overcome that disadvantage.

They also didn't have Steph/Klay/Dray healthy at the same time all season.

Klay was out the first half of the season, then when he came back, Dray got hurt, and when Dray came back, Steph got hurt.

You're trying to compare apples and oranges....

2022 playoff Warriors are a much stronger team than 2021-22 regular season Warriors.....

They're still chugging along though that's my point. They're resilient. Every series is different. Players and teams are getting real tired about now with the long grind of the regular season and the ratcheted up defense in the playoffs. It's more physical and wears them down. Everyone's playing through injuries right now.

Boston has an advantage of having the younger team. They're hungry and playing with a chip on their shoulder.

GS has experience but so doesn't BOS. Maybe not quite as much they haven't won a championship yet but their core guys have been in what 3 ECF? They want to get over the hump and get it done.

Yeah it’s not the Durant Warriors and they are beatable. I guess the Celtics would have the best chance but the Warriors seem like the only team that can score in bunches quickly.
