he literally jumped and landed

I don't know what he could have done there, but it seems like the right call

If they call a flagrant on that I'm moving to Stockholm to design currency for dogs and cats.

Jesus

not sure i've seen a 7 pt possession before??????

the warriors aren't missing anything here

they need to go at curry while he's in the game

Kerr stole those minutes sitting curry there.

Pritchard is a solid backup

the fact that the celtics didn't get utterly buried in the 3rd bodes well

gettin pretty loosey goosey out there

some funny sequences there

gotta slow things down, be more patient

Curry just threw it away three times ina row

Pritchard is a solid backup

it's nothing mind-blowing but he plays with a *lot* of composure for a second-year point guard who's in the finals

that's a cool jacket!

dubs looking pretty gassed

they can't challenge with all the fouls

someone should ask draymond green when he's planning on having a good game in this series

Last game?

eh it was fine

the fans aren't having Green's antics

See non-Boston people aren't surprised

Cs playing really nice defense this quarter

feel like I'm watching a wrestling match

sit down Draymond

rip dubs

rob was absolutely massive tonight, 4 blocks 3 steals best plus/minus on the team and the warriors are terrified of him

yeah amazing game from rob particularly considering he was dragging one of his legs around

Def the X factor dude for the game.

They prob needed to find more minutes for looney cos they got crushed on the boards

xp it's weird to say about a fast twitch guy like him but his timing is so good that he can be effective at half speed

tuff stuff from the celtics tonight really let their size and physicality show exactly how they have to play to win this series

yeah they took some blows from steph/klay but played a really composed game for the most part, controlled the turnovers, got the job done

i believe they can even win a third quarter at some point

Timeline nothing but moaning about refs after every game.

cant let the ref get inside yr head!

second time in three games the warriors got their butts kicked in the fourth quarter primarily on the offensive end. poole being completely ineffective is killing them in those moments, steph and klay have to work so hard to get shots it really isn’t a blueprint for winning. and then draymond was pretty invisible for most of the game, the celtics size is clearly neutering him & if the warriors can’t punish the celtics for playing big i don’t see how they can win the series

didn't feel like this was an erratic ref game to me

there were some real bad ones in the ecf but the finals has been ok

i keep returning to the thought that we’re gonna need to see a butler game 6 esque performance from steph in one of these road games if the warriors are gonna be able to flip this in their favor. they played pretty well overall as a team tonight but the celtics have too much depth especially at home, the warriors are gonna need at least one game where steph completely puts them on his back. thought maybe we’d get it tonight but they clamped down on him in the fourth. i don’t know where else the offense is coming from

Jaylen Brown scored 27 points and 9 rebounds in tonight’s 116-100 win over Golden State.

rare miss from magic, you don't "score" rebounds

Tatum made some nice finger rolls and tough angled layups. van gundy was otm about him just shooting with confidence in the lane vs the last couple games hunting for the contact. Celts did a great job ignoring Dray all night too and not letting him get in their heads. Another real stinker for him, he can’t have another. They also shut down all the gsw offensive glass they’ve been getting and kept the TOs down just enough. Smart seemed to hit a lot of run killing shots. Feels like rob altered at least 15 shots.

Poole is playing timid. Just gotta hoist and be himself let it fly. Dubs gotta stop digging themselves such big holes to start games, been a theme for them.

Smarts banked three was a real back breaker

oof

Steph Curry: "I'll be all right. Got caught underneath Al." Said he's in pain. Same foot sprain that he suffered against Boston earlier this season, but "not as bad". Said he doesn't believe he will miss Game 4.

i still think he was pretty great in game 2 but only took a few shots. im more worried about him getting punked on the glass and throwing the ball away.

i don’t think kerr would ever sit draymond in crunch time or anything but if they’re gonna get shredded defensively with him out there while also having other offensive zeros (poole, klay depending on the game) on the floor with him i wonder if they should strongly consider going even smaller and trying to get as much shooting out there as possible. if dray is really bringing it on defense and the team is holding up on that end fine, but if not (like tonight) they might’ve just been better off cutting the rotation down to steph, klay, poole, wiggins, porter, GP and trying to bomb boston out of the building like the way the mavs won some of these games

i also find it baffling that they’re screaming out for some size and athleticism help vs this team and won’t let kuminga even sniff meaningful minutes. but that’s a whole separate discussion

hes too mistake prone. but i would def throw him out for a few minutes and see what happens, give him the first bjelica stint why not. i think moody should be getting all of iggys minutes but its really hard to trust rookies idk.

game 4 gonna be tough. they wont get desperate unless they lose that one. thought the warriors had the momentum shifting and then kerr sat curry and he never got his rhythm back. kerr got cute on that one. sitting steph when hes cooking should be a crime. immediately threw three TOs to start the 4th and that was that.

curry needs his rest - he played 38 minutes in game 1 and was gassed by the end of it. he played 37 minutes today despite sitting for the last 2
