I dont think the warriors can counter the suffocating defence. And their shooting would therefore suffer. Also celtics have home court and are therefore favourites.

Warriors have home court. Oddly not such a bad thing for Boston.

Warriors have home court. Haven't dropped a game at home in the playoffs

 

[Bostonian]

I think it's worth recognising Brooklyn's contribution to this Boston team as we enter the final.

Thank you Billy King and Brooklyn.

C's in 5 or 6.

Warriors haven't played against a defence like ours at all in the playoffs. Don't think they really know what they're in for.

Well I mean you have the best defence in the league, but our last two series were against top 7 defences in the league. Hardly like we played Brookyln...

 

[Son of Skeletor]

Celtics in 5 when the Warriors have homecourt and several days rest advantage is... optimistic.

Golden State's defence is just as good. Let's pump the brakes here.

hahahah yeah that's fair and so did we.

Fun fact Steve Kerr is 7-9 against Boston since he took over.

Celtics in 4?

 

[Memphis]

Celtics in 4?

50 on it?

Boston paying 14 for the sweep.

 

[Memphis]

The KD and Dray relationship takes another turn.

 

[Memphis]

Yes please.

Surely I'm not the only one who wants to see this make a comeback.

KD got champed

Okay i can't ignore the cringe anymore... Someone please tap Haslem on the shoulder and remind the senile old man he is not a player... He is a glorified cheerleader. Just relax guy...

hahah ikr, I saw this tweet and was like bruh.

I don't get why he doesn't take up a coaching position if he really wants to stick around the franchise.

13 which is more than i honestly expected....

Put up a dangerous

2/2/0 stat line

Him going at Draymond after the game 6 was embarrassing

"Draymond broke the code," Haslem told Yahoo Sports' Chris B. Haynes after the game. "You ain’t supposed to say some s--t like that. That's disrespectful. He know better than that."

The walking down the tunnels like he just played 40 minutes and dragged them as far as they went.

He reminds me of the overly involved 60 year old from my under 17's footy days despite him having no kids playing in the team... Like bro move on

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I forgot Haslem was still technically playing.

 

[fidstar]

hahahah yeah that's fair and so did we.

More funnerer fact - Warriors have never lost a series Steph, Klay and Draymond have started every game.
