I agree. I think they win this series as they are just a much better defensive and more physical team

As long as the moment doesn't become too much for them, I think they will.

I had the game on because the far superior NHL playoffs weren't on tonight, but paid almost no attention to such an uninteresting game.... can I remove myself from the TV ratings number?

The Celtics shot 10-of-14 when Stephen Curry was the primary defender. @ESPNStatsInfo

Steph Curry is now 3-10 in his last 13 NBA Finals games without Kevin Durant.

Warriors down just 4 points to start the 4th:

Like I said, bigger, faster, stronger, younger wins every series as long as you limit turnovers. They had no presence on the glass, Boston was relentless on defense and absolutely brutal in transition.

Looks like Draymond has imploded, his kid seems like he's onto his old man in the presser. I'll take Deuce over Draymond's kid any day of the week. Kerr is the kinda coach that could engineer a Steph-less comeback but I'm leaning towards Celtics in 5.

The only way the warriors win the finals is if steve kerr wears his mask under his chin

Who’s the MVP so far?

I think I’d have to go with Jaylen Brown.

Yes it’s Brown.

I feel dirty rooting for the Celtics, but him and Tatum are just very likable dudes when you ignore the jersey.

Only chance GS has is to get more good minutes out of Kuminga and Iggy. They can't contend on the boards and are at a disadvantage with the rotation they going with right now.

Are you saying Lebron isn't hot enough? Lol.

Haven't rooted for a Celtics team my entire life, but it's the lesser evil. Has to be done.

I actually hate the Celtics more than the Warriors, but I think teams like the Raptors, Bucks, and Celtics winning championships the last few years is great for the NBA in terms of parity.

Funny how before this series started so many people were saying how great Warriors are and Celtics basically have no shot.

I think Warriors and Curry are getting way more hate on here than they should. This is simply a really bad matchup for them and Celtics are the much hungrier team.

Warriors still have a shot but not a good one. They really have to shoot lights out. That's the only way because they are simply overmatched defensively and it's not close.
