It seems that Boston Celtics have made a huge mess by losing too many home games in the NBA finals against Golden State Warriors. Even with the support of the home fans cheering for Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors are still able to beat Boston Celtics by more than 8 points during the last 2 away games, I guess Golden State Warriors truly deserves to win the NBA title this season.

Boston was the favourite in the finals, but they played so badly in the games they lost that the Warriors went on to win another championship. Boston team is young and has little experience, they may make it to the finals again in the coming years, but we can say that this was the last dance of the Warriors. If Tatum hadn't been so bad, maybe we'd have seen the Boston championship. I wonder what they will do next year. They showed that they were not mentally ready.

Golden State Warriors are the champions. Celtics were my favourite before this final series started. They got the court advantage as well. But Curry showed once again that he was the best shooter in NBA history by scoring 43 points in the fourth game of the series. I think that this game was the turning point of the series. Tatum played one of his worst games in his career in the sixth game of the series. Wiggins erased him from the court.

Sorry about that, I forgot to put Wiggins, and it's very obvious that he had a big contribution in the success of the Warriors.
Game 5 was indeed his best game in the series, but he was consistent all the way.

Majority expect the Warriors to win because they are the slight favorite to win, but I have to admit, Celtics are really good, it's just that Coach Kerr did a great job to find the weakness of Celtics' defense and he succeeded on that.

What a turn of situation in these finals after a good start from the celtics they just couldn't keep up on the last two games, personaly i did not expect this outcome and did not expect the warriors to win the championship but it seemed that all players stepped up their game and it was pure team work, congrats.

I hope the key players of the Warriors will remain, Poole deserved to have a high salary as his impact int he playoffs was really huge.

Poole only received    $2,161,440 in 2021-2022, his salary is even lower than Kuminga, but I think if his contract will expire, he will be offered with a better contract.

This guy contributed a lot and he's always like the highlight in shooting. Not gonna argue with other good shooters from the Warriors but sure Poole really stepped up on this finals. Well done to all, to the players that have been part of this championship again by the Warriors. All of them did well. Now, another exciting part is going to come to the NBA and that's the roster shuffle and players jumping from their current team to another and some exclusive contracts.

You forgot to put Wiggins, he had a breakout game in game 5 so the Warriors were able to take the lead in the series. I know you have it in your mind but since most of the Warriors players have made a good contribution, maybe you just forgot to list it. 

Indeed, they rested in 6 because the championship game is over. I bet on the Warriors even at the start of the playoffs and I like their journey because their chemistry is very evident, it was a team win, not Curry only because we saw how everyone has stepped up in the game.

Thompson
Poole
GPII
Porter Jr.
Green
Looney

These are the guys that I remember are very key factors for the success of the Warriors.

The Warriors know what they will do in every kind of situation already because they've been in the NBA Finals for a very long time already. Compare it to the Celtics who has a roster that has no experience in NBA Finals whatsoever and their coach just came this year.

At the start of the season, many doubted the Warriors that they will win the championship. Many said that their dynasty is over already. Now they proved them wrong and got a 4th title. As for the Celtics, the 2 reasons why they lost in the NBA Finals is their turnovers which they got 22 and they are inexperienced as a whole team even the coach.

As for the Celtics, kudos to the whole team. Many also said at the start of the season that either Brown and Tatum must be separated and traded because they are at the bottom at the first half of the season. They proved them wrong, and now they clinched the NBA Finals. Let's give credits to Coach Udoka as well because he is just a first year coach, and he already got a big achievement which is to lead his team to the NBA Finals. Watch out for the Celtics next season because they will do what they did this season.

As for the Warriors and as a fan of them for a long time, I congratulate them for a job well done . It's my first time to put a bet on them all throughout the playoffs and I didn't lose on it. Congrats to Steph for his fist Finals MVP, but still congratulations to the whole team because it's their effort that lead them to the 4th title.

Yes of course, something to be happy of because Celtics gave a good fight, at some point, I even thought that they will beat the Warriors but the big game of Curry in game 4 bring the momentum in the next 2 games and the Warriors ended in the series in 6. Some people say Boston in 6, Warriors said, yes they will rest in 6. LOL

Celtics have not made the right adjustment, their strategy has been so predictable that's why they lose 3 in a row. It was Wiggins who stopped Tatum, and although Brown had some production but it wasn't enough for the Celtics to win. Despite of that, I'm still happy with the achievement of the Celtics, they are still a young team and for sure the experience they gained will make them a better team.

I was rooting for the Celtics since the playoffs started. I believe in them in reaching the finals and they actually did eventually. When they were in the Finals and steal game 1, I started to gain confidence that they'll gonna win it all this year. Unfortunately, after game 3 they got exposed. Tatum disappeared and the Warriors playing on a high level like they were from the last 3 championship.
I feel sorry for Horford, but at least he have experienced the finals in his career.

Warriors deserves it, Steph deserves it.

Suddenly a lot of stories are coming out on Twitter and most of them will make your eyes tear.
One of them is the story of Gary Payton II.

Posted on June 8, I don't know if the interview was on the same date.
After being cut from the Warriors roster, he decided to apply for a job at the same place. As a "video coordinator" for the Warriors team.
He badly wants to be a part of the team and would do anything just to be with them, there was even a time he just stayed there to watch them play.
Surprisingly, a spot opened and he got back to the roster. Now, he is a champion and one of the names that will be remembered for a long time.

Pure hard work, drive, and loyalty. An inspiring story for those who are in G-league and players that are being traded over and over.

I'm really sad about Celtics to lose the sixth game and the title at the same.     I was favouring them in the final series to reach the championship after a break like 15 years. I didn't see a very solid team effort in this game from them and this was the thing that I was angry with the most. Warriors had so many spaces and punished them for that. I saw Horford and Brown making a really good effort for Celtics here. In the last moments of the third quarter, Horford was really great and fired up the team. Brown was also continuing to bank in really hard shots. But it was really hard to stop Curry and his friends.

Congrats to Warriors and their fans! I respect their effort so far a lot. 

I think Curry is just about to reach his peak, maybe in the next 2-3 years. And just like other greats, he has learn to evolved himself, not just pure shooter, but now he can rebound, dribble penetrate and assists. And yes, finally the only trophy that has eluded him the FMVP. And the way he really show up in this playoffs, you see the emotions behind him. And as what he says, 'they hear all the chatters', and now he proven them wrong by winning the championship and then the MVP. And the young guys as well, this is a good experience for them, specially Wiggins, who shows why he is the number 1 pick and why he is a All Star this season.

Still Curry in his prime, with how the system of GSW they can add more titles.

For now, let them celebrate and enjoy what they've deserved. I like how chef Curry cooks today with that kind of solid
performances, he almost duplicates his numbers of game 4.

An amazing Curry with a complete cast behind him who all contributed their best to take this game away from Boston.
Great outcome coming from a great team!

Stephen Currey really shows that he deserved to become one of the MVP and we see how he makes a really good performance with the trio of the GSW, i guess next year we will see again a different and more playstyle of the GSW congrats again to the sports bettors who make a good profit in the game.

When Boston Celtics allow a 21-0 run for the Golden State Warriors, that's already a sign that the team is now slowly losing its momentum after a good start. I just can't believe Celtics' momentum got crashed early in the period. Warriors successfully take over and are able to destroy the Celtics' rhythm. Even Celtics are good at coming back from a big lead, the situation a while ago is different. This is the first time in the series that the Celtics lose 3 times in a row.

It's really Golden State Warriors time! Congratulations to Steph Curry that after several Finals appearance, he now get the NBA Finals MVP that is missing on his credentials. Andrew Wiggins also did a great job. Almost an MVP contender but overall Steph Curry topped all the stats that even if they lose, he might still be the Finals MVP.

+1
Well done...! I wanted to see a seventh game, 4 titles in 8 years is the answer to the fact that that seventh game was not so easy. As you mentioned, they have a special player that makes the Golden State Warriors team special.
