As the series is tied once again I started to wonder which side is going to get ahead this time. Next game is in Chase Center this time but I assume having a home court advantage doesn't matter too much at this point. Celtics were the team that lost the last time and I expect them to fight much harder in this one. They need to be more effective in scoring points as Warriors (especially Curry) started to become unstoppable about that. Celtics still defend well but they need to perform better offensively next time.

agree, but the winner in this match will be a one win from the title, and it is very important match
I bet on Warriors to win it, and get the title afterwards, more experience in games like these should do the work

and it is really amazing to see how much is Steph wanting new title in his career
host practically matters, but will hardly decide winner in matches that are left in the series, going for 4:2 Warriors in the end, and without Celtics series in first match, that would be already almost ended

Yes, Thompson may have a little contribution compared to the past NBA Finals, but man, we have to understand, he came from a major injury and when the returned, Warriors are back to the NBA Finals, isn't it a big improvement already? And also, let's not forget that Thompson had some huge games in the past rounds, maybe he is not that too consistent but he is very useful to the team.

It's not just that. They forgot how good he is at the defensive end. We don't see him being a trend unlike Wiggins, Poole, and Steph but he was there defending offensive guys like Brown or Tatum if a switch happens.
If we talk about the defensive chemistry he is always there to back up Steph if ever he needs help as he was always the one being chosen for a Celtics attack. It's not really their offense that made them champions, it had always been how good they are on defense.

Boston needs to find ways to adjust to how the Warriors are playing right now, still unpredictable game 5 even the home court

advantage is now back with the Warriors, what we are witnessing in these NBA finals, both teams are doing a great job, adjustments

over adjustments, who will win the game 5 will have a much closer chance to win the title. Warriors will be expected to play another

great game not to allow in missing again the home court advantage.

I agree, there's no telling which team will win this series. Both are playing well and that Game 4 tells it all. Every possession will be crucial and they cannot let the game go beyond a 10-point lead or else it will soon be a blowout game. I like the exchange of strategies from both coaches too, the right timing of calling a timeout, and the right execution of plays whenever a substitution was made.
If you are a fan of either team, you will feel the swing of an emotion-packed game. Grin

Agree! if you are a fan you also feel that intense sways between these two teams, every player and coaches are really doing great in terms

of countering the system of one another, both offense and defense were being created with great executions. Fans can't say anything bad with

how their teams and players are doing their jobs. They are just simply amazing and so far this is a kind of finals we all wanted to watch, we

are all being entertained.. Wink

Celtics failed about winning the fourth game of the series. They actually performed really good until the beginning of the final quarter. But Warriors had a really solid performance in the final quarter. I must admit that Stephen Curry's effort was really incredible as well. If it wasn't for his 43-point performance, maybe Celtics would have been able to win this game. As the series is tied now, I'm very curious about the next game. Frankly, I would like to see my team, Celtics, getting ahead.

I think the Warriors did not give all their effort in the 3rd quarter as they know the Celtics will bounce back in the 4th quarter. In this series, Warriors has been winning the 3rd quarter but they fall short in the 4th quarter, but this time it didn't happen as they have a good fight in the 4th quarter and even beat the home team by a double digit.

Listen that's just how basketball goes. Sometimes you get the quarter sometimes you don't. But to think a team who is down 2-1 in the NBA Finals didn't give all their effort in the 3rd quarter is just crazy. Both teams are laying it all out all game. There is no tomorrow for each one of these games.

They weren't so dominant in the 3rd quarter in the last game, they only outscored the Celtics by 6 points compared to the previous games where they can easily outscored the Celtics by a double digit, so I'm just guessing, maybe they are trying to preserve their energy in the 4th quarter to beat the Celtics.

I've been looking at some stats and I noticed, Curry and Thompson had an excellent performance on 3-point shots from Curry (7-14) and Thompson (4-10).
Green only had 2 points, but he got 5 offensive rebounds and 4 steals!! This shows he is a totally defensive player!!

Talking about the Celtics, Tatum scored (3-8) 3 point shoot and 3 blocks. Smart 3-9 (3 point shoot) and got 4 steals!!

The Celtic' "diamond trio" (Tatum, Smart and Brown) even played well, but if the others players could help them, I believe Boston's chances of winning this last game would be much higher!

Thank you for noticing that. Klay Thompson especially, he is being criticized until now by basketball analysts and I think they are wrong about him not back to his normal type of game.
He is actually back but not just in his best performance just yet. The expectations is too high by this so called analysts and also forgot about the fact that Boston Celtics is a defensive team. They won't just let him shoot that ball for free, there will always be a guard to stop him.

Green total steals in post season is 22 while Smart have 24. They are not that far, both DPOY awardee.

Yes, Thompson may have a little contribution compared to the past NBA Finals, but man, we have to understand, he came from a major injury and when the returned, Warriors are back to the NBA Finals, isn't it a big improvement already? And also, let's not forget that Thompson had some huge games in the past rounds, maybe he is not that too consistent but he is very useful to the team.

Of course, we have to understand where he is coming from, he is not fully healthy at the start of the season and he has to miss two seasons for rehabilitation, so we just have to appreciate his contribution as I believe he is not yet 100% but he is trying his best to hery his splash brother Curry.

As the series is tied now, I'm very curious about the next game. Frankly, I would like to see my team, Celtics, getting ahead.

The result of the next game might be hard to predict, although the Warriors look like the favorites as they will have a home-court advantage. At the same time, the Celtics still have a chance to win this series, but the Celtics players such as Smart and Horford should play better. To be honest, I expected Horford would be effective throughout this series, but he only had a good performance in the first game and wasn't active enough in subsequent games.

I also notice that they just work it out slowly, but now they surely finished the rally and win the game,

Steph continues to play at his best together with whoever bedside him inside the court, the defense also gives them that
good lead in that last few minutes of the game, coach Kerr's strategy to keep changing players for defensive and offensive
strategy completes the win. tied series again and now Warriors regain the home-court advantage, let see if how Boston
will adjust..

It was head to head until last few minutes but Warriors played better in clutch time and won the game. This was crucial win for them as if Boston won that the series would probably be over. Now Warriors took the home court advantage again and more important they had the psychological advantage. Because the series is returning to West coast, fifth game will be very important. I wonder how Boston will react to this loss and play in San Francisco. At least we will definitely see game six.

Kobe struggle sometimes but he always is the best player on his team.

Because Kobe does not like how the Celtics are playing, he played more like an individual basketball that's why he needs to perform, or his team will lose. They have a similarity with LBJ, if LBJ struggles, the whole team will struggle, unlike the Celtics, if Tatum struggles, there are other players who could stepped up because they are a team.

I see Kobe on him and he really improve thru this season. Their duo together with brown really improve Celtics and their actions not to trade their young cores is really give them good result today and for sure they have huge chance to take this season out on GSW and the game 4 will be another exciting chapter to see. But also knowing Warriors they became more better team once they are defeated and it just Wiggins and Klay is not consistent today and Curry only make them alive this game maybe in next game they are in full revenge mode that's why we can provably see more exciting head to head match between Celtics.

You too?

He is not that far anymore, as I said in my previous posts, this kid just needs to stay confident with his game. Sometimes, he loses it and that's why the team is being dragged by it. Thankfully, many players on the Celtics team know how to step up their game and the leadership of Marcus Smart might have something to contribute to that.
Even though he had a bad Game 1 and 2 on the offensive side, he might get that MVP if the Celtics will be able to snatch this from the former champions. Because he didn't stop at just scoring, he did assists and rebounds to help.

I guess we have been praising him and even compare him to Kobe in this thread so I'm not surprised. And yes, it will be an accomplishment for him at this young age to win the NBA trophy and then the Finals MVP. He has improved in defense as well. He lock down Durant in the first round, we haven't seen Durant having difficulty to execute his jump shots and Tatum was part of that big defensive plays and swept the Nets.

Why not? Jayson Tatum deserved to be praised because of his improvements and the way he played since the playoffs has begun until the whole Celtics squad reached the Finals. Although it's not him who had the most work that's why they achieved the position they are now on but he's been so vital in the team's success no matter if it's offense or defense, he can be reliable. At 24, he can be the Finals MVP too though Jaylen Brown is also very compitent to get that said title.

Whoever sees kobe in Jason Taytum never seen kobe play imo. No one had the competitiveness like kobe other than Jordan. That isn't a knock on taytum but kobe was in a league of his own when he was on the court. Taytum sometimes isn't even the best player on his own team some games. Kid is young though he has a bright future and will be a superstar in this league.

True, Kobe is a great player and has already proved he can carry his team on his back by winning multiple championships, Tatum has not proven anything yet aside from getting into the NBA Finals. Kobe struggle sometimes but he always is the best player on his team.

Curry definitely got hot on this game, and I believe that he can't do this every single time, there is absolutely no way he could do such a thing. I personally believe that Celtics still do have the advantage as a whole team, which makes sense because they are a better all around team.

However, Curry is a player unlike any other, and when he plays like this, there is no way that Warriors would lose. It is a tied series right now and I am guessing that the rest of the series will not be easy neither. If somehow one way or another, we get to see Warriors win the next game, then they could lift the trophy up on their home turf, if not then it could go to 7 games.
