    Refs have completely swallowed their whistles on one side of the court

    Before the series started I thought that Boston was going to win for sure however I’m not so sure anymore the Warriors are putting it together.

    Boston is just rushing it now. They're getting hurried up by the patented Warriors 3Q, thinking they can get it all back in one or two shots.

    It's only a 12 point game. Calm down and play Celtics ball.

    the fact the green is still in this game and hasn't been given 2 techs is absolutely mind-blowing and disgraceful

    "Curry has gotten so much better on defense!"

    Bruh, he's guarding some midget named Pritchard.

    Boston’s offensive possessions just look painful

    this is the game where Tatum plays well but everyone else is struggling.

    Hopefully we make it to the finals just once in the next 10 years…tired of seeing other teams prosper

    last time we made a finals, Bill Clinton was President…

    Welp, series is going to be 1-1. Might as well rest everyone in the 4th for game 3.

    He's also allowed to hand check and on the other end you can't touch him. This is Rockets flashbacks all over again. Refs just letting Warriors play physical and then the Celtics get called for every little touch foul. Can't win 8 on 5

    Green should sit his ass down. He's just out there playing the Grand Instigator.

    it’s a joke and only a few can see it, the abc broadcast do a good job of not showing replays of the Celtics turnovers were it’s fouls by the warriors leading to these loose balls

    As JVG noted during the broadcast, Kerr made a nice adjustment by simply giving Curry the ball and putting him in repeated pnr most of that 3rd quarter. Instead of running him off-ball which Boston was defending well and the rest of the warriors struggling to create with the ball.

    This cut down a lot of those passing turnovers the Warriors are known for and not only allowed Curry to get shots but also create them.

    The key for these two very well matched teams however is the play of the Celtics role players. Celtics shot well frm three (15-37 for 40%) but White, Smart & Horford were only 2-7 from 3 and had 18 points. In game 1 they were 15-23 from 3 and had 65 points.

    The Warriors defense have been very good in the playoffs BUT they have been allowing a lot of 3 point looks. The Mavs missed a ton of them and the Celtics made a ton in game 1 and a good amount in game 2.

    Thanks for coming, Boston. You got your one win but you're losing the next 3.
