I bailed on game one, thinking the Warriors had it locked up. I thought the TV announcer misspoke the next morning, when he said the Celtics won 120-108.

Not many watched.

But that squares with the ratings of many entertainment forms. We have so many choices.
Damn BLM got banned? What i miss?

not surprised GS came out strong in game 2, they needed to keep from falling into a 0-2 hole. that's not insurmountable but puts you back on your heels. Boston needs to open at home tonight with a strong game, that what they learned from game 2 and draw on the home crown energy like GS did in game 2.


GO CELTICS!!


i checked and the format is 2-2-1-1-1 the way it should be. at some point in the past the NBA changed that due to "travel costs". what a farce. these teams are owned by multi-millionaires and billionaires. and they can't cover travel costs? right!


now you have guy like Mark Cuban who bought his team their own jet. a Boeing 757. smart move. they can travel when they want and in privacy.

probably not the only pro team now that has their own jet but too lazy to googie search that.

and Cubes has his own Gulfstream.

Boston did exactly what they needed to do. they came out strong, held off the GS rally and win!

Celtics 116 GS 100.

most importantly Boston holds the edge 2-1 meaning GS at some point must win 2 straight. if they trade wins Boston is the 2021-22 champs!



Warriors did what no one has done against Boston this playoffs, beat them back to back. Now they have two shots at finishing them off. Now Boston needs to do what no one has done to the Warrior to win it all.
Boston had their chance to put them away. They won the 3rd quarter, which has been the Warriors best this playoff run. They kept Curry in check. He was shooting bad, in good part to their D against him.. and he was just not hitting his open shot. Just goes to show you how deep this team is.
I think Boston takes game 6 (more like hoping because I want a game 7) but I think Warriors end up winning it all. I wont be disappointed if Boston wins it all, but I will be if the series ends on Thursday

okay. i've seen enough. Boston is getting mugged in the Garden. this is over.

GS wins the title.
Let’s be honest though. Turnovers were Bostons Achilles heel. If they could keep have kept the ball on half of those, they had a chance to force game 7. I called Warriors winning but I was hoping for a game 7. Tatum disappeared in the 2nd half. They needed him to step up and he didn’t

Boston did play sloppy, turnovers and rushed too many shots. unlike GS which is getting a bit old, Curry is 34 and missed the bulk of last season with a foot injury, Boston appears to have a solid young core that if Boston can keep them together for a few seasons stand a good chance to get better and possibly win next time.

It's go time! The NBA 22-23 season is in full affect, I'm hearing a lot of hype about the clippers this season? Golden State will probably be in the finals again......

I’m guessing Bucks and the Suns, assuming KD is healthy. One hell of an assumption, admittedly. Memphis is another team I’d consider.

I’m not really sold in anybody else in the West. I’m a big believer that a team has to go through a learning process in the playoffs over a few years before being a contender. But the rest of the west is pretty sketchy this year, so I could see Sacramento maybe going if Denver stays in its funk, KD is hurt, and something halogens to Memphis.
