Nicely done, JIMMY.
along with experience it panned out…The drawn-out schedule favors the older stars on the Warriors.
Curry is 34 while Thompson and Green are each 32.
On the other side, Tatum is 24, Brown is 25 and Smart is 28.
Birdie got one rightklay and dray too much defense.
Ray my good friend….it was an exciting series….Don't hold your breath lol.
Just like clockwork…turnovers took the life out of BostonI don't think thats happening
Only NBA team to win the title on the home floor of the Celtics….LAKERS
For excitement on radio broadcasts, I like Kevin Harlan calling either football or basketball games.
Gol St defensive adjustments were too much for the Celtics at the end. Kudos to Kerr the Warriors and all of those that backed them.Ray my good friend….it was an exciting series….
Kane said Boption defense was the difference. I watched a game or 2 of previous series and thought he was correct.Just like clockwork…turnovers took the life out of Boston

Terriblely wrong. Plus panic shooting when behind did them in at least in one game. Last game they seemed defeated from the onset
Looks like a tag-team match featuring RAYCABINO and PATRICK MCIRISH (backing Boston) against VIEJO DINOSAUR and COMPTRBOB (backing Golden State) in the other corner.
I never said Boston's defense would be the difference, and I picked the Warriors to win the seriesKane said Boption defense was the difference. I watched a game or 2 of previous series and thought he was correct.

I said Boston's defense would give them a chance, and it did, they played well defensively, the Warriors averaged 111 points per game, they didn't reach that number in any of the 6 games while averaging 104 points per game, 7 points below their average. The Warriors shoot 47% from the field and Boston held them to 44% for the series. If you had watched any of the games you would know Boston's D wasn't why they lost, but rather their lack of shot making along with way too many turnoversOf course I'll be rooting for the Celtics, but the thing I keep thinking about is how not one player on their roster has ever played in a finals game, whereas G St has been there and done that many times, besides the experience edge G St has, another thing I keep thinking about is how the C's finally reached the finals after losing in the ECF's so many times, Smart and Brown had been 0-3 in the ECF's and Tatum was 0-2, Horford had played more playoff games without a finals appearance of any player in league history, and for as great a job as Udoka has done, he's a rookie coach going against Steve Kerr who's coached a ton of finals games, and as odd as it sounds I'm a little concerned the C's are just "happy to be there", The Warriors best players aren't getting younger and they might play with a sense of urgency that Boston doesn't match. I think Boston matches up really well with them defensively, and even though at times shots don't fall, defense travels, so that alone will give them a chance, and if they're knocking down their three's this will be a competitive series, but it isn't often you get this type of experience edge in the finals. I hope I'm wrong, but I think G St ends up winning. Not sure I want to lay 155, so I'll hope Boston takes game 1, then make a series play on G St at a better price
BumpI'll hope Boston takes game 1, then make a series play on G St at a better price
Side note. I have never been a fan of NBA but always seem to get interested in playoffs. I did enjoy watching throughout as usual

Agree... I still suck though. Thank god I'm a small wagererI've tried this approach with other sports and it never seems to work.
I think you need to follow a sport from the preseason to the postseason to truly understand the flow of what's happening.
Especially if you allow "feel" to enter your handicapping process.
I gamble like BIDEN BikesAgree... I still suck though. Thank god I'm a small wagerer
Well fuck KANE.

Celtics in 5.
Don't Think Steve Kerr Will Get Beat 3 In A Row.
Is Kerr still playing?
The coaching edges, in my opinion, are very slight in the 2022 NBA Finals.
Basketball, especially NBA playoff basketball, is a game of adjustments.
Very few secrets at this time of season.
Kerr's defensive switches notwithstanding, the NBA remains a make-or-miss league.
When the Celtics could not hit a shot in third quarter of Game 2 (4-for-17), the game was essentially over.
If you want to praise Kerr for Boston's cold shooting or credit Kerr's strategy for five sloppy turnovers in the quarter, be my guest.
I think the series will be decided by the players on the court, not the coaches on the sideline.
When it comes down to the NBA, I trust JK…..
I read every word of that article as punishment.
Mike Brown deserves all the credit. He made all the adjustments on defense. What does Kerr know about defense?
Brown did a good job with the Lakers defense too, unfortunately you win games with offense in today's game.
He'll flop in SAC too because defense takes effort, and we're talking Sacramento here.
Combine Both Boston and Gol. St. Rosters.
Who Would Your Starting 5 Be ?
Curry/Gol. St.
Tatum/ Celtics
Take 2 Of The Spots.
And that's why Golden State dumped Mark Jackson and picked up Steve Kerr.
Jackson was known as a defense-first guy.
