Poole played a big part in that second half run. More and more I'm thinking he might be the key to get the Warriors over the hump. Yeah steph, klay, etc will get theirs but when Poole turns it on it makes it too difficult for the other teams to cover their backcourt. Fun game. Hoping for a 7 game.

Right, Curry played minimal minutes, and it was Poole who take over the 4th quarter as well to not give the Boston a chance to make a comeback just like what they did in game 2.

Klay though has not been making points as he used to be, but at least they were able to cover game 2 with a huge win and that is enough for the Warriors to carry the momentum to the Boston Garden because they should have been up 2-1 by now.

Klay should be fine, he will have one great game in this series. His shooting is poor but Curry had an impressive night so it's just alright. Let Thompson continue to get his confidence back until he will become more consistent as his team needs him if this series will go longer.

Let's wait for game 6, he is known for game 6 Klay so maybe that's where he is going to produce some numbers. But he is a great player and anytime he will just explode even at the opponents home court. So maybe next game he will score 30+ or will have a good game to contribute as the second options behind Steph. As others said, Warriors have other options like Poole and Wiggins besides the two he should be ok in this series although those who bet on him to get the MVP in the finals, the chances are slim right now.

Yes, I get that but the whole Warriors roster are also rooting for Klay's return. Aside from that, Steph Curry is good but he cannot just produce that great numbers every game because there will be a time that he needed some rest too and it's best that Klay Thompson will have Curry's back for that matter, besides, they're are called Splash Bros. for a reason.

Poole and Wiggins is somehow good at their job but they need more exposure that's why Steve Kerr is letting them play even if the game is already crucial especially Poole who shows some interesting signs.

In the 2nd game of the series, Warriors helped us watch an incredible performance by them. Their effort was so great that they were far ahead of their opponent at the end of the third quarter already. After this very solid victory, I wonder how Celtics will answer this. It is 1-1 now and we are going to Boston tonight. Celtics have an advantage as they are going to play home but things can be the opposite easily too. In my opinion, Celtics will manage to defeat their opponent again and get ahead in the series.

I think the Boston Celtics will win the next game. The Golden State Warriors defended very well in the last game and conceded very few points in the third quarter. Celtics were unable to manage this crisis and failed to score.
But the next game will be easier for the Boston Celtics, they will play at home and I think they will win this game with the support of the fans

It's easy to say that the home team will win and Boston seems to be the favorites at the moment for tonight's game. I'm not so sure though. I think basketball is a game of momentum and the Celtics had it on their side bigtime after game 1. It seemed to only last a quarter though, as the Warriors stole back momentum and won game 2 easily. I think the Warriors still have that momentum on their side and it's up to the Celtics to take it away tonight at home. I'm not so sure though... I could see the Warriors winning the next three and ending the series, but we'll see. Tonight is a pretty big game for the Celtics. Not a must win, but if they lose the next 2 it's over.

Even if Celtics would have a home advantage I don't think they can handle the defense strategy of the warriors easily. After seeing how eager the Warriors are this season, I believe that they can continuously play their defense well. It will be tough for Celtics as well be yeah, anything unexpected could still happen.

In the third game of the NBA Finals, I bet on the victory of the hosts. The key to victory for Cetlics, in addition to perfect defense, will be the effectiveness in the attack of the team's supporting players. Al Horford and Marcus Smart scored a total of 4 points in the Game 2. Such a weak performance of this pair will certainly not be repeated in the TD Garden. If the Warriors dream of winning the entire series, Steph Curry will need more support from his colleagues than in the first two games.

Defense is the biggest difference of this game. GSW is connected in series. The Celtics need to figure out how to attack as a team, not just a set of individual contributions. The Celtics need to step up game building. It looks like the Celtics got a lucky win in the first game as GSW was in decline in the 4th quarter. With this game, the Celtics need to think about some things in the series because they will miss the series.

I don’t know that the Celtics necessarily got lucky in the first game. Most NBA analysts consider the Celtics to be the most complete team across the board. Also you said it yourself much of it comes down to defense and the Celtics have been playing very good team defense. Tonight’s game will be very exciting to see which team can get that big 3rd game win.

Warriors are now complete, they are healthy so betting them in game 3 is always good.

The current odds of Warriors is around 2.47 in ML which is very good since the only reason why Celtic has the odds advantage is due to home court while the performance will be in favor for warriors with complete line-up. I think this kind of odds is very rare for bookmaker to offer and I doubt that we can see thishigh odds again for Warriors when they beat Boston tomorrow even the series will go to game 7.

I think the bookmaker is still holding on that Boston can repeat there performance on game 1.

Thompson was not consistent so far in the Finals, however, he is still very dangerous, when he is hot, he can shoot with a good 3 point percentage so I would still continue trusting him. Remember in the last few series, he have some big games, game 5 vs Dallas and game 6 vs Memphis. He was the closer.

If Thompson is playing bad there is Pool to cover the deficiency or to lessen the burden, I dont know why people are still thinking about Klay when Pool has also a good impact on the team.

Exactly, looks like Poole is still underrated until now.

Warriors do not only have splash brothers, they also have Poole party. LOL.
These 3 are the consistent provider of offense for the Warriors, while Wiggins also have contributed some big games as well.

Remember also that GPII is back.

Yeah, he is back, he is one of the major reasons why the defense of the Warriors have improved in game 2.
He played 25 minutes but has a +15, and he contributed 7 points but what's notable is his defense on the floor.

For sure, he will continue his hardwork on defense in game 3 and that will limit the player whom he will be guarding.

Warriors are now complete, they are healthy so betting them in game 3 is always good.

Of course, they need to play better, especially Thompson, he needs to step up and be more accurate on his 3 point shooting. Curry cannot be great all game, he will also struggle and that's why he needs his splash brother to also contribute like the way he used to when they were winning championships after championships.

Thompson has not been the same in the last few years. He has good games where he will score 30+ but that doesn't happen as often as it used to. Curry can score 25-30 every game with no issue, but the rest of the team still needs to do their part.

In winning this series, the whole Warriors should do their share in both ways, this young Boston really giving tough series

and without the help of everyone, Celtics can beat them and win the season's title. They need to be more active and full of athleticism

with that kind of hype, even playing in the road game, they can take a game away from the Garden and assure to have a homecourt advantage

In case the series extends to a do-or-die final. Not going to single out Thompson, the challenge to bring help is for everyone, whoever coach

Kerr's bring in should play all-in.

But he needs to be up for the challenge because the team needs him, especially Stephen Curry. He ain't nowhere to be found in the last 2 consecutive games and his performance was too low compared to his average performance. He really needed too step up to because the Warriors is incomplete if there is no Klay Thompson making a huge bucket per game.

If Warriors will have a solid offensive contribution from Steph again, and then Poole and Klay added to the picture as well, it's going to be very hard for Celtics unless their trio of Tatum, Smart and Brown produce similar numbers (they are focus on defense). So I'm also thinking of betting for the Warriors as the underdog in game 3.

Tatum , Brown, or Smart aren't consistent in their offense. Yeah they are good defensively, but defense alone won't win you games, you need to score. An opponent like the Warriors is tough to beat even if you put a lot of pressure on defense, because they can shoot anymore and all of them can shoot threes. I am always thinking the Celtics should always be the underdog, that game 1 win won't gonna happen again. from games 1 and 2 GSW always have the lead.

The pressure should be on the Celtics side, they are at home but they are facing a good team in the Finals and they just lost big in game 2. And Warriors wants to take this one and bring back the favor on them, stealing a game in home court.

They didn't lose, they got blown out. The 3rd quarter was brutal for Boston getting outscored 35-14. The warriors showed no mercy. I'm hoping for game 3 to be the same way.

Hehehe, yeah you can call it a blow out, similar to what the Celtics did to them in game 1 as they smoke the Warriors with 3 point shot.

But I like the mentality of the Warriors to not show mercy with the Celtics in the 4th and didn't put their second stringers in the game until the game was out of reach from Boston. Because they know they are capable of coming back and just want to make sure. So yes, possible that the Warriors will have another blow out win in game 3.

I am also thinking of doing this. I am almost sure the Warriors would get at least one win from the Celtics' TD Garden in Boston, just as the Celtics also took a win from the Warriors' home court. If not this third game, it must be the fourth game.

Don't forget Looney's contributions as well. Although he was only given a shorter play time, his points and rebounds meant a lot for the team's win. Props to Wiggins as well.

Game 2 was a very decent one for Warriors undoubtedly. They just crushed Celtics by a big point difference and something went really wrong with Celtics defense in this game. It wasn't solid as it was in the first game. It looks like Warriors found a good solution for this and destroyed them literally. For Game 3, I'm not sure about the result. It is very hard to predict now as maybe Warriors would catch Celtics by surprise in away court like Celtics did to them in Game 1. Or maybe Celtics will have their revenge on them. In any case, I believe that it will end up by a little gap.

We can expect a very close game-scoring started the game 3. I was supposed to think about the homecourt advantage that put Celtics has a huge odds of winning. But yes, we can't really underestimate these small players (GSW) as they are good in 3 points shooting that could outplay Celtics as they did in Game 2. Poole, Cury, Thompson - these guys have scoring gameplay that gives surprise to the Celtic's big players.

There really isn't anything as home court in this playoffs, If the Celtics can take game 1 away from Boston, so there is also every possibility of Warriors winning either game 3 or 4, perhaps both.

I'd be leaning towards the Warriors for game 3, most especially because of their offense, they've really got so many special players and can take the game away from you, just in a split second.

And the series against the Bucks and the Heat, Boston lost some home games too, so yeah, it might be good to play at home but definitely can't be seen as a sure win, sort of.

Something wrong with the Celtics' defense in Game 2? No, I actually think their defense is their usual.

The problem is even how good the Celtics' defense is, the Warriors shooting percentage are really hot. There are lots of shots made by the Warriors that were actually defended and guarded well but still, they draining those shots. That's how good the Warriors' offensive attack is even though the Celtics attempt to guard it hardly.

Since then, the Warriors are really known for that and the only thing to stop those are just to continue doing the best defense as much as possible while at the same time, making it to the point that the Celtics' hot shooting should be executed as well.
