The Ultimate 2022 NBA Playoffs Thread - Boston Celtics vs Golden State Warriors (Game 1 Friday 3 June)

Boston should be happy

Curry on fire but barely a lead

Going for the Warriors. Only been to 1 NBA game and it was at Oracle Arena and got there just early enough to receive one of the last Boogie bobble heads they were giving away

I went to an Oracle play off game - one of the loudest stadiums - got there early and watched Steph warm up which was great

Wasn't that loud when I went. They got pumped by the Raps even though Kawhi didn't bloody play. Still got to see Steph (spudded it up), Klay and KD. KD was ridiculous.

Boogie didn't even play despite the bobbleheads lmao

Yeah, you'd think a first quarter with 21 points from Steph would be a double-digit lead but four points is nothing.

Boston look a little lethargic and/or disorganised on defense, which would be understandable but will be interesting to see if that tightens up in the second.

 

[Westy Bogan]

My Avatar is spot on right now... Steph on FIRE

 

[Westy Bogan]

Nice to see all players for both teams available... lets hope no injuries...

Im not sure Iggy will be up to speed - risky playing him after missing so much

 

[kozi]

First quarter G1 of a finals series he's got people searching for 3 point record stats. That's not normal.

 

[Westy Bogan]

Does anyone miss?

On both teams?

 

[kozi]

Porter on Otto pilot

Vegas cleaning up on all that sharp unders money

Tatum planning on doing something?

Ban

 

[Westy Bogan]

Poole trying to do way too much....

Just calm down mate

 

[kozi]

Ban

Huh

 

[kozi]

Boston would be feeling very good right now

 

[Westy Bogan]

Boston took the punches well...

If Marcus Smart is in the vicinity you have to respect him and not let him get his hand on it. Just pass it and seek out Brown/Pritchard etc...

Its not rocket science

 

[srobbo]

Hell of a half by Smart.

 

[NSWCROW]

AUTOMATIC AL

 

[Borough Blood]

Huh

Pun is banworthy. But I also love it.

 

[srobbo]

Tatum planning on doing something?

He’s playing well, just doesn’t mean it’s reflected in pts all the time. Shot wasn’t falling early so he got others open instead….great game awareness & shows how he’s matured.

 

[kozi]

Been a lovely game thus far on account of the refs not being whistle happy

Pun is banworthy. But I also love it.

Coined on Inside NBA circa 2014 in his Washington days. Was far from a term of endearment when first used

Warriors 4th option,

All star starter Wiggins

Has been very good. Warriors roster is nuts.

Wiseman. Moody. Kuminga too...

Apparently gp2 is right to play Also

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Boston have done well to keep it close Warriors are shooting their lights out
