While I agree with the takes that the Celts are the better team… haven’t we already been though this twice with Milwaukee and Miami? Would love to be wrong but feels like this is going 7 again, even if the Celts are simply better.
so far 4... if we're countinghow many non-called Ts does Draymond get away with tonight?
Jawing is one thing. Draymond initiating physical contact with Jaylen after the play is another, unless you want a fight at some point. And it’s not like he hasn’t been pushing the line all game. This isn’t spontaneous jawing, this is what Draymond does. It’s calculated. And by not punishing him, the league is rewarding and encouraging him.I’m fine with that it’s the playoffs and they’re jawing tell them to cut the shit and play it out
Those numbers do not pass the eye test
Any plan that involves Theis is a bad one. Including whatever this thing is.What Ime should have done is said to the refs "we both know that is a technical. If you don't call it, I'm sending Theis out there to set the hardest pick you've ever seen on Green next trip down and all hell is going to break loose in this place. And you will have no one else to blame. So you gotta decide---are we here to play NBA basketball or WWF wrestling? I need to know what to tell my guys the rules are tonight" and send Theis to the scorers table.
and Drays earlier push in the back on tatum is dangerous.Jawing is one thing. Draymond initiating physical contact with Jaylen after the play is another, unless you want a fight at some point.

Yeah the problem is they are getting mugged at the rim and not getting calls. But they need to keep at it. Play through it.JT really needs to take it to the rim when he turns those corners.
strong with the ball and the C's will beat their 8Celtics are miles better. Playing an incredibly sloppy game with horrifically one sided officiating and it's dead even. If they stop turning it over the Warriors are fucking toast, refs or no refs.
The whole production is shit. The fact that I would rather watch the above the rim feed with INSANE camera angles and terrible crowd audio but no commentary tells you everything you need to know.The ABC/ESPN studio crew should just dissolve and outsource to TNT.
There is absolutely nothing I like about the ESPN/ABC presentation, from the in game announcers to the studio show
Totally. I was going to post in the series thread that with so many people agreeing with Green's "40 minutes" and getting no push back, the TNT guys are the only ones with balls(I think Pat Bev would call that shit out too)The ABC/ESPN studio crew should just dissolve and outsource to TNT.

I think it does. They forced a ton of tough shots in the 2nd quarter.Those numbers do not pass the eye test
I refuse to watch their pregame or halftime shows. It’s an unbelievably terrible mix…although any of them alone is awful too.The ABC/ESPN studio crew should just dissolve and outsource to TNT.

Wyc needs to find out what Lacob bid for the officiating tonight and double the offerCut the turnovers, keep Curry reasonably under control and have lightly biased officiating and it will be 2-0.
Grant is just not great from a matchup standpoint this series. I don’t think he should get benched, but he should probably be getting 10-15 mpg with Smart and White both in the upper 30s to low 40s and Theis not playing much, if at all.Grant got completely fucked by refs. Agreed on Theis.
The Celtics shot quality was. That warriors number does notI think it does. They forced a ton of tough shots in the 2nd quarter.
warriors missed a lot of layupsThose numbers do not pass the eye test
Agreed. That is why I think you need to decide how you engage him and who can be physical with him---because we don't want to trade a good player for him. But happy to trade Theis or even Grant for him in this set of matchupsWhat kills me about Draymond is that this is all by design.
He came into the game planning to mix it up. Foul. Antagonize.
He knows his shot is shit. He thinks he needs to compensate. To him, everything he’s doing is just him trying to win.
The fact the refs put up with it pisses me off.
Did you watch Game 1?3rd quarter is probably the game. I am not confident.
