Jordan Poole really explode in game 2, unfortunately I wasn't able to place bet in live as I woke up late and I really regret not placing a bet ahead. I was looking forward on the game 3 now I really think that GSW will not let them go again with another win and finish the series as early as possible, overall I am really confident that the GSW will going to win this 2022 NBA Finals.
No worries, plenty of games ahead of us.

I guess it's a wake up call for them what happen in game 1, they are that confident entering the 4th quarter but was surprised how the Celtics shots the ball very well as they didn't defend the perimeter. In game 2, was the same story, they take a huge lead, but this time, they know now to take care of it in the 4th and didn't allow the Celtics to close the game and give them another crack to win and upset them.
It's good that Warriors was able to depend the lead in game two and the result is really good.
All the players in court distribute a lot to help their ace players, Warriors is indeed playing as a team here. Now the pressure is with them since the next two games will be in the court advantage of Celtics, let's see if they can loose Celtics as well on their homecourt. Try to place a bet in game 3, you'll be more surprise to see its result and better to watch the game as well because its really entertaining. I'll bet for Warriors in game 3, they still have the advantage here.
There's no doubt about the performance of Warriors in game 2, the real challenge to them is when they play in the homecourt of Celtics, hopefully they are still on a good condition so they can defeat Celtics to take the lead in the series. Many predicts that this is going to be a long series, game 7 to be exact, there's a high chance for this knowing both teams are doing good and no one is giving up here, I'll go to the opposite, Celtics will be in favor here in game 3.

A good adjustment that both players and the coach have done today, they really paly tough defense making it harder for Boston's core players to score, Though both Brown and Tatum have decent productions but the help from the other key players are not enough
to win the game, Green, Wiggins, Klay, Looney and GP2 all are willing to put their bodies close to whoever assignment that they have.

Steph and Poole lead the Warriors for their offense, but it's kudos to their defense, that's really something that fans will love.

Seeing all the players are rotating to help one another, hope they will bring that mentality inside the Boston garden.

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.

Yeah, Actually most of the matches where Poole played well turns out a win for GSW because their starter player can rest while Poole can lead the bench to still score or maintain the points lead. He just has had some attitude problem recently which makes him out of focus on their recent games, especially on Mavericks. This is the first time again that I see Poole once again turn into a reliable 6th man of GSW. I really want game 7 and most likely it will turn out that way if GSW just get 1 win on Boston or Boston secure a 2-0 win at there home.

I knew I should have put some money on this game. There was just no way that the Golden State Warriors were going to lose two straight championship games at home in a row. Though one concerning part is that Klay Thompson still doesn’t look like the Klay of old outside of a couple games here and there. He’s really going to have to pick his play up if they want to win another championship!

Stephen Curry take over! that's what the headline said and he really did a huge play in this game where they didn't even give a small opportunity to the Boston to take a run in the last quarter. now they are tied which makes it more interesting because they gonna play next time on the Celtic's home court. This is how the NBA Finals should be and the Celtics obviously will gonna fix their play in the next game if they don't want to be sloppy like this game and will probably try to press harder on Stephen Curry next time.

In game 1, the Celtics were good at clutching, only the Warriors in three quarters then in the fourth quarter the Celtics overtook them as if the Celtics were saying to the Warriors "Git Gud Scrub". On the Celtics show, I am convinced of the predictions favored by ESPN.

Scoreless GS 5mins so can't keep up with 3 points shooting in mid-4th Quarter. The rim of the Boston became a tub. 😁

For GSW, it's all about adjustments.  I think Iguodala was not effective in game 1, he was always out of the rainbow. We wonder why it's not inside or perimeter.

Time for GP2 to step up.  It will take maybe 7 games.

It's only an hour and Game 2 will begin.

Jayson Tatum didn't poured so much shots that night, he wasn't having a bad night. It's just that he chose to assists the team more that's why he got 13 assists. The Warriors better improved in the game later because Tatum was just watching and could be dominant and be unstoppable anytime if the team badly needed it.
Yes. Now, there's a twist. They cannot just shut down Jayson Tatum anymore with a box-one defense or if they did, they better be ready for what will be next. Perhaps what the Warriors could do is avoid putting a double team on him. Wiggins should be enough and if ever Tatum got away they should just pay the price with a deuce, not a three. Horford is not a fast catch-and-shoot guy, there will always be a time when he sets so Green or Iguodala could always catch him.
I want to see more on Marcus Smart as against Steph it's obviously a mismatch. That might be the next Celtics adjustment.

The problem is that they cannot put Igoudala and Green together in the court because their offensive power will be minimized, they are an offensive team so it is still best to get Wiggins on the floor with Green because Wiggins is more capable of transitioning from offensive to defensive, or vice versa. Obviously, they cannot afford to have a Celtic player with a double team because any player on the Celtics side can also shoot whether it's a 2 point or 3 point.
I loved Iggy when he played there, not because he had any amazing offensive ability, he was decent but nto amazing, but he had amazing defensive talent. Which meant that while Curry lacked defense a bit, Klay and Dray and Iggy covered that fully, and that allowed Curry to caught on fire and beat the other team.

Right now, they are not bad offensively, but their defense is not what it used to be, Draymond is older, Klay got out of an injury, they don't have iggy covering lebron (or tatum in this case), so they are lacking in defense a lot. Which is why I do not think that they are the team like they were in 2015-2016, they are much older and a bit worse.

I was expecting Celtics to get a Warriors but not this way. They beat GSW in their style of play. Harford and White had an epic match. The fourth quarter was like a storm. Incredible. However, how ambitious and eager Curry and his friends started the game. It looks like it will be a long series. This is pleasing. It was one of the most exciting NBA finals I've ever watched.
Well, I guess we can't call it a lucky win either, they play hard on that and just got nailed on the 103 points. It may not be their style of play but it was definitely a good win on them, they just need to do the same but with an improvement. This will be a long series and I agree on that.

It was certainly not a lucky win that’s for sure. The Boston Celtics play some great defense and I just don’t thin the Warriors were ready for such an attack. Tonight of course will be a very telling game. If the Celtics come out and take another victory then I certainly won’t have any faith in the Warriors going forward, but I’m quite confident this one will got to the Dubs.

Marcus Smart is getting more matured especially this season, he's getting more helpful in terms of the team's defensive needs. Also, on the regular seasons he guarded Steph and limits his FG% into 33%. IIRC.

Curry is vocal that he didn't like how Poole is guarding Brown.
Poole has to improve, he maybe a help on the offense but if he is a liability on the defense, then I don't expect to see him getting more minutes in the game. The good defender will have to be on the floor, Porter Jr. and Iggy were both good defenders.

I hope GPII will play in game 2.

They have to bounce back tomorrow because if not, then it's over for them because winning in the garden is hard when you are in a 0-2 hole.

I would expect that, and if the Warriors will win, it should be by a decent margin.

Curry just struggle in the 2nd half, that's it. He played    38:17 minutes, I think that's high enough for him to be able to contribute the way he used to. Not only Curry's offense was limited, but at the same time, his teammates were not able to make their shots again with great consistency.

The missing link for game 1 was Poole, he only made 9 points. He should be more aggressive and make more attempts so Curry will not take most of the burdens.

Boston Celtics Game 1 win is not because of the reasons you have mentioned. Let's be honest here that the Golden State Warriors just choked on that game.

Steph Curry struggles in 2nd half and that's the reason they lose? They are up about 12 points entering the 4th quarter that's why it's not a valid reason.

Let's appreciate instead what Celtics did. Outscoring the Warriors is not an easy thing to do coming from a double-digit deficit.

Yeah, they choked, let's make it general because we can't blame Curry since he is still the top scorer of the team in that game. Maybe it's time for Klay Thompson to have another 30+ points game so they'll be able to dominate game 2 and make a statement for the fans that are doubting the Warriors now.

IIRC, the Celtics lose game 1 also in the series against the Bucks, but they came back and beat the defending champion, so it could happen here and Celtics will taste the does of their own medicine.

They just seemed to run out of steam in that fourth quarter.  Without the one big scoring drought that gave the Celtics the lead, the Warriors would have won in dominant fashion.  They just need to look at what happened and make sure to stay focused for the entire game tomorrow.  They're a veteran team, which makes collapses like this even more unusual.  I have no doubt they'll bounce back though.  The series won't even start until they get back to Boston and see what happens there.

Agree, they will have to review the tape and see what happened during that fourth quarter in the first game. I'm sure adjustment will be made on the Warriors side and one thing will change for sure is how they guard Jalen Brown. Curry is vocal that he didn't like how Poole is guarding Brown. They have to bounce back tomorrow because if not, then it's over for them because winning in the garden is hard when you are in a 0-2 hole.
