NBA Playoffs
- Thread starter Brute
- Start date
The Time lord and DPOY Smart are going to effect Thompson/Curry ability to get quality shots. They will still make a bunch, but maybe not enough to win.
Cs in 7.

Injuries can be the key (does anyone think Milwaukee didn't miss Kris Middleton?) as the Toronto Raptors found out in their championship season. Someone mentioned GSW defense but wasn't Boston the top defensive team? Draymon Green is the key to the Warriors defense but he needs to keep his act under control, something he hasn't shown to consistently be able to do. I think the critical player will be Wiggins.It all really depends on how the games are called.
I also find it interesting how the games are spread out with days between games rather than every other day. Could be important.

Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn now and then...
true, but I hope not. lol
That's kinda how I see it going. But it would be kinda funny to see GS blow another 3-1 Finals.

Yes. Their defense of the three-point line during that final run was outstanding.
Wicked pissah solid...

yeah, I'm not sure it wasn't more of a Dubs collapse in that 4th. Their spacing ended up being terrible in the 4th and Cs, to their credit hit nearly every single shot. Any time Smart is shooting that well (usually one out of every several games or so, so we'll see how well that ends up), Horford hits a career high in 3s. That's why there are 7 games. Dubs played Taytum very well (although he found other ways to contribute) & his teammates stepped up. Brown was great, not to mention DWhite going off.
I've gotta say though, I don't really enjoy watching these games that are basically 3 or bust.
Still sticking with Dubs in 6. People tend to forget (quickly) that just last year, people were giving Chris Paul his first ring last year after going up 2-0 on the Bucks....ended in 6. Not really worried much....yet.

It’s a good sign that other Celtics stepped up while Tatum was having a bad game…Horford, Brown & Mushroomhead shot big in the last qtr…
Hopefully that was Tatum’s worst game of the series…
In the Championship, the team that wins the first game wins the series 70% of the time…
...and career 30% 3pt shooters don't shoot 50+% from 3 regularly. Who's mushroomhead? is that someone's nickname? or just a derogatory reference?
Taytum will be better, but those other role players that shot lights out, aren't going to do that consistently. If they do, it'll be a quick series the other way.
Dubs in 6
I am looking forward to once we're halfway into this series, more folks will give their "on point" predictions....
(not you....)I'm not at all surprised Dubs lost game one....didn't expect a 4th quarter collapse, but not surprised in the least in the actual outcome.
