    Re: 2022 NBA Finals: Golden State Warriors vs. Boston Celtics

    My favorite thing about Curry game last night. He was attacking early on. He didn't settle.



    Best game of the series in my opinion. Felt like a game 5 lol. Hopefully game 5 is just as good.

      Andrew Wiggins - held Tatum to 3/10 shooting with 2 forced turnovers while putting up 17 points and 16 rebounds.

      Not bad at all damn.

        So… Does Boston stop dropping on screens (at least as much as they have been) next game?

        Even the shots Curry misses Boston is letting him get into the rhythm he wants to be in from the opening tip. Not saying it’s been easy for him to score, but it’s been easy for him to get into his shooting rhythm. He’s a 1 of 1 shooter obviously, but does he make all the wild falling down stuff late if he didn’t have 10 other fairly clean looks that came before them?

        Feel like they are trying to limit what the others do, limit their clean looks, back cuts, etc.. and it’s working for the most part. But they are basically asking Steph to play the game he wants to play.. most successful games against Golden State are games you take things away from him, force him into some bad turnovers, etc.

        I mean this is probably literally 8-10 times a game at this point.

          He’s still a disappointment considering the hype around him as a prospect, but he finally seems to have bought in on what it takes to be a winning player: actually giving a damn on defense again like he used to.

          His world famous double jumps were showing up on some of the putbacks last night too.

            Also wasn’t his fault idiots were calling him Bron just because he was athletic either.. I mean guys like Stackhouse aren’t really considered disappointments because some idiots were calling him MJ.. media is different now. Dude had too much hype.

              He has been a good player for a while but the problem is when you are a real high drafted player just being good is not enough people expect you to be a franchise player and he is clearly not someone you are going to build your team around.

                I'm interested in how they handle this as well

                Like you somewhat alluded to, they are doing the drop coverage to take away the "others". But I too feel like they could benefit from just mixing it up maybe a lil bit more so he's not comfortable all game and has to think some more which could get him somewhat out of rhythm one would think.

                Just mix in some of what has worked in the past every now and then, like picking him up full court and/or giving him a hard double on screens. They have the length and athletes to make the passes out of a trap difficult.

                But even though Steph is going ham, the scheme is "working". The Warriors have averaged a 117 Offensive Rating throughout the playoffs. But against Boston, that's been down at 111.

                I feel like Boston needs to get away from Rob and Horford on the floor together because Steph is absolutely roasting them when he gets the switch/and or drop coverage.

                This series has been most interesting from a coaching perspective. I'm actually really excited about what adjustments will be made game to game.

                Looking forward to seeing what Udokas counter move will be next game

                    Easy to forget that one of GSW’s role players is a number 1 pick who averaged 25 one season while being known as a defensive player

                    Wiggins has had a very good series, I’m happy for him

                        Celtics offense looks terrible once again.

                                Ref has to keep his emotions in check.

                                Zero reason for a tech there.

                                I get Udokas frustration too. Boston has the more aggressive and driving team is fighting through hands on drives every time.

                                At least they aren’t bailing them out on the other end.

                                Boston has to be just as aggressive on the other end of they’re going to let you get that handsy.

                                EDIT: Ball don’t lie
