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.

..... Also, the Warriors have the home-court advantage in this series.

Warriors play good at home but the Celtics doesn't really care what court they are playing as we've seen in game 1 They have also shown that in the series against Bucks and Heat.

That's right, and it's the first loss of the Warriors at home in the playoffs.
Celtics are a very good team, they can win anywhere, even on the road, in fact, I think they have a high road wins in the last two series.

.....
This is the first time that we've seen Warriors not making a huge points in the 4th quarter. Usually that is their strong suit, winning the 3rd and 4th. But this time, they were outscored in the last even though they have a good lead entering the 4th quarter. This might cause an alarm from Steve Kerr, but knowing that they are ex-champions and knows where to rise, for sure they wanted to bounce back in game 2 because it is going to be in their backyard.

It was probably a mistake on the part of Kerr. At what time did he put back Curry in the fourth quarter? Maybe the outcome was different if he did it sooner.

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.

Horford had a huge contribution to Celtics' win last night for certain. I haven't seen him being this much effective as for scoring three pointers for a long time period until this game. I like this about Celtics very much because they are playing very good as a team. When the main scorers have a poor day there are another alternative players to contribute more than they do normally. Actually it started to be the same for Warriors too but they lost this game because of a serious decrease in their performance in the fourth quarter.

They were not able to trade baskets in the 4th quarter. Even if Horford is making 3 point shots, it's very obvious that the defense of the Celtics killed them, look at their scoring per quarter.

1st-32
2nd-22
3rd -38
4th -16

Indeed, Warriors had huge problems on scoring many points in the fourth quarter. Sometimes you really don't have anything to do against a solid defense although you have very effective shooters, Curry and Thompson being in the first place. Celtics proved once again why they have been called as one of the best defense teams in NBA so far. In the second game of the series, I'm going to be very curious about how Warriors will answer this amazing defensive performance. I think they will break their defense well this time and get the win they want.

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.

If they've still sticking out with that box-one which we have seen that it wasnt that effective then its normal or common sense that Warriors would make out some adjustments in related to that but i do agree on what

you said about Wiggins should be enough even trying out to isolate on man-to-man then it would really be still a tough decision if they wouldnt make out adjustments on this one.

We've seen on how Tatum do really just shut down that defense plus having some good rotations then there's no denial that they had executed it well.

Just look at the stats, Boston shoots 51% from the 3 point area. That does not happen on a daily basis, and we know that majority of that shots came in the 4th quarter, so I don't really want to hype the result of game 1 as the law of average will definitely happen again. No way that high percentage of shooting will be achieve again in game 2.

You are right on what you had said, it wont really be a solid indication that they would really be doing the same percentage on next or Game 2.They really just having a good clutch gaming on that 4th quarter which
we could really say that this isnt something usual i should say but it was indeed an interesting game. People are really just been too hype of Celtics winning game 1 on beating up the favorites i should say.
Just we do all know that adjustments would be made and the better team would win game 2 on June 6. Kiss

Warriors are still not a better team if they win game 2, at least at that point because they will only tie the series with 1-1 score. What the Warriors should do is steal one game on the road so when they go back at home they already have the advantage. Warriors are known to bouncing back, they'll surely bounce back from that lose for sure.

Horford was the main reason why the Celtics won game 1 since he went 6/7 for his shots and scored all the three's in the 4th quarter for Boston to take the game.

I would say Horford is one of the main reasons but not the main reason.

Derrick White also has a great contribution to their rally and he's coming from the bench. He is not even averaging 30 minutes per game but he didn't waste the opportunity that was given to him by his Coach for an increased playing time.

I'm sure some of the Celtics players will surprise us in the next games. But the Warriors also have a deep bench that can give good support for their starters.

Horford was a big help on that game, it was a team effort and it really shows how well they can communicate in times of need.

Derrick White showed greatness that game, he didn't put too much action but every time he was given some minutes, he used it very well and contributed to the team. IIRC, he got 20+ points too.

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.

There are two nights left for the second game in the series. Celtics made many of us surprised by winning the first game like that. Their high performance in the last quarter was worth watching. I doubt they can maintain this winning streak by the approaching game but it can still end by a gap less than ten points like this one. Warriors should be able to react to this disappointing loss strongly. If they do that, the series would be even more exciting and intriguing to watch. As a result I expect Warriors to win the next one.

Yes you are right that mate Celtics players surprised us for their first win cause we all know that warriors controlled the last third quarter but the younger players of celtics release their strategy and with a lucky then they win. Now the worlds waiting for the second game of these two teams but ill still bet for warriors even they win or they will loss the game. But I think they will win this upcoming game.

There thrilling run with consecutive of 3s whoever shoot it can be considered as luck since that's not there usual performance. Even there bench players is on fire that match so I guess this performance is very to execute once again. Steve Kerr allows it because he is confident that his players will answer back on the aggression until Celtics get the lead and extend the gap on the last 3 minutes of the game. I’m rooting for the Celtics on this finals because they have a good run on all of there matches.

This is the first time that we've seen Warriors not making a huge points in the 4th quarter. Usually that is their strong suit, winning the 3rd and 4th. But this time, they were outscored in the last even though they have a good lead entering the 4th quarter. This might cause an alarm from Steve Kerr, but knowing that they are ex-champions and knows where to rise, for sure they wanted to bounce back in game 2 because it is going to be in their backyard.

Yes, but it's not the first time the Warriors were dominated in a game.

Have you forgotten already when the Memphis beat The Warriors 95-134.?
It was probably their biggest loss in the playoffs

After the first match, you can confirm the old basketball proverb that fans are attracted by attack and the championship is won by defense.

Defense alone cannot win games, it's just that the Celtics have shot very well in the 4th quarter and their 3-point shooting is very accurate. I would believe that Celtics has dominated the Warriors if they are in control in the whole game, what I see is that they only control the 4th quarter, so they need to prove it again in game 2.

Celtics do not only have the defense, they also have the offense that's why they are already in the NBA Finals. yes, the Warriors are the popular team because they have been in the NBA Finals many times and have won multiple championships already, but we cannot neglect what the Celtics did in the playoffs especially int he NBA Finals.

I have to admit that the Boston team impressed me incredibly in the final phase of the first final match. Before the game, I would rather bet that it is the experienced Warriors team that will dominate the key parts of the game. The fourth quarter, won by the Celtics 40-16 really must be admirable. Interestingly, the victory was mainly determined by the excellent attitude of supporting characters such as Derrick White or Al Horford. Tatum disappointed a bit as he get a compromising 3-17 field goals, but he had as many as 13 assists.

They too overwhelmed by the momentum of the Celtics. Curry is trying to control things when Boston is slowly crawling to close the gap but the rest of team seems tense which affects there shooting accuracy as well as defense.

Can we attribute this to lack of experience? I'm talking about defending their lead when things gets tougher. GSW is really good at catching up teams leading and turning the game around at the end. I have not seen a lot of games where they're the team being chased or pressured like Celtics did.

Golden State Warriors did played very badly in their first game against Boston Celtics despite having the home advantage, they have simply wasted too much chances to score points in the 4th quarter and I think the players and the coach should try to improve on it and avoid it from happening again at the next upcoming match against Boston Celtics.

Agreed. They too overwhelmed by the momentum of the Celtics. Curry is trying to control things when Boston is slowly crawling to close the gap but the rest of team seems tense which affects there shooting accuracy as well as defense. They always double team Tatum while they know that the rest of the team is already hot in 3s. They should atleast defend the 3point line and leave the center to Looney.
