klay’s release being so quick is his most important skill imo. his shooting isn’t all the way back but he gets off really difficult shots and bails their offense out a not insignificant amount of the time. ray allen played on title teams until he was 38 for pretty much the same reason

all quiet in the thread today... hmmm.......

not much to say. celtics played bad and need to find some offense that works. defense was mostly fine

rob williams played 30 minutes and was +11 in a 10 point loss which means they were -21 in the other 18 minutes. seems important

Williams started selling out on 3s, and then the lanes opened up for the Dubs.

curry and wiggins shot 0-15 from three but 19-30 from two

I thought curry had a great game. Whole team was Locked in on defense. Dray is doing a really good job when guarding jaylen

I thought it was interesting that Poole played only 14 minutes and GP2 played 26

Poole's mediocre defense was getting exploited and his offense wasn't making up for that.

well, he scored 14 points in 14 minutes on 50% shooting so i don't agree with that

but to me it seems clear that steph-klay-wiggins-payton is the backbone of the warriors best lineups and the other guys fit around that depending on who is playing well or the match up

looks like the celtics are basically down to a 7 man rotation: smart, brown, tatum, horford, williams, williams, white. pritchard only played 5 mins tho maybe he sees an uptick in mins at home

warriors have a solid 8 man rotation: curry, thompson, wiggins, porter, green, looney, payton, poole. bjelica only played 5 mins, igoudala 4

bjelica got blown by that one time and we never saw him again

more bjefelica

grant has been pretty ineffective in this matchup, celtics really need one more playable guy

i wouldn't say horford has been ineffective but after game 1 his impact has felt pretty muted. rob williams is clearly giving the warriors problems but boston's smaller bigs aren't really bothering them very much. grant in particular has felt like a total no show, the last two games especially -- 6 points, 4 rebounds, 7 fouls in 29 minutes

but to me it seems clear that steph-klay-wiggins-payton is the backbone of the warriors best lineups and the other guys fit around that depending on who is playing well or the match up

did you mean draymond to be in that payton spot? cos make no mistake draymond is still a major piece of the backbone, much more so than gp2.

no i'm saying that is clearly their best core 4 to me & i think they should be rotating out the fifth guy depending on circumstances

drays defense is still key.

Jaylen brown is shooting 29% from the field (9/31) and 7% from (1/14) when guarded by Draymond green in the finals, in addition to committing 5 TOV (5 AST).

My pet theory was that the C's were able to chase Curry and defend him well for about 3 quarters (I think he was also just off last night because a lot of his 3-pt misses were short), but that left them with nothing left in the fourth.

yeah draymoind has definitely prevented jaylen brown from picking up tatum's slack

It’s just a different role for him, he can’t freelance cos he’s being tasked with being a wing stopper. Opens them up to giving up rim runs (game 3) but on the whole it’s worked to limit brown and make his life harder. He’s made a lot of “you’ll live with those” type of shots

golden state d was tremendous imo

kids report: my 13yo says klay is a very underrated defender

also draymond “looks like a triceratops”

has begun to hate curry, his favourite player, because “he plays so light skinned” 😬

yikes

also he's wrong

good pickup

The Rockets are trading Christian Wood to Dallas for the 26th pick in the 2022 draft, Boban Marjanovic, Trey Burke and Marquese Chriss, sources tell ESPN.

that's a low price for a player with his production but it's going to be mighty interesting to see him on a team with actual goals

Seems good for both teams

.@YahooSports Sources: Inside the lengths Boston Celtics center Robert Williams III has gone to play this postseason, including having knee drained repeatedly. https://t.co/3IViOhGhDj

Really hope he’s not doing permanent damage cos that does not sound good.

yeah the celtics should give him a haslem handshake deal on the back end cuz i feel like he’s shaving years off his career

the christian wood deal is interesting, the mavs def needed a big who was a scoring threat. don’t think you can go an entire season with just klieber and bertans shooting threes. but there’s gonna be playoff match ups where his defense renders him unusable, unless he finds some gear we just haven’t seen

Heard that before lol https://t.co/oxOEWdvRyT
