I'm afraid it is a really tough situation for Celtics now. They are 3-2 behind and this is troubling for them a lot. They didn't play badly actually in the previous game but Warriors still found a way to win this game. They were better in the final quarter once again. Celtics are still struggling to keep up with them in this quarter and they need to find a solution for this. In case they experience this again, they are done. Celtics shouldn't waste this big opportunity to win the title after a long break.

The momentum is clearly on the Warriors but closing/winning a series is very hard to do that is why tomorrow's game is very exciting at least for me. Celtics have done a very good job on limiting the offensive output of Steph Curry in game5 but the Warriors has lot of weapons offensively that put the Celtics in a difficult situation on game6.

One thing I have observed is that Boston did not exploit the mismatch that was happening down low (Curry guarding Robert Williams), they were so in love on taking that outside jumpers. This might be one of the many adjustments the Celtics will do come game6.

Warriors used this momentum in favour of them in a really fascinating way in Game 6. Celtics weren't able to defend them as usual also. They didn't even seem like they were eager to win the title. They made so many defensive mistakes and Warriors benefited from many of them. This helped them open a really big gap with Celtics until the end of the game. Celtics still need to improve themselves but their effort so far has still been amazing to follow. They made me excited about their title chance.

I lost a lil bit as I bet on Celtics, but I'm not angry or anything, because Warriors really did deserve to win on this one. Lucky for those who bet on Warriors because the odds were nice. Another scenario that sportsbooks don't really get it right all the time. Congratulations to those who bet on Warriors!
Another shining moment for Curry though.

And there it is, steph and his first nba finals mvp. 4th in what like 8 years for golden state. This one verifies dynasty status. Made some decent money laying on the Warriors. Outside of the Memphis games I think they cleaned up against the spread.

They prove the 14% chance of winning wrong, Warriors is unstoppable same thing with Curry.
In this conference, Curry really carry the whole team into the finals and in the last 4 games, Curry proves to be a deserving player to get the MVP award, it’s good to see them being a Champion again. I like the loyalty of Curry in Warriors, we can still expect more greatness from them. Congrats also to those who placed their bet with Warriors, you’re also a winner, cheers!

The way they played in Game 6, they didn’t let Celtics to have the chance on getting the lead again and they really dominate on every field. Warriors is again the champion in NBA, now I’m excited this summer to see changes on many team and looking forward for the rookies to play in Warriors. If warriors can get another good player, I’m confident that they can defend the title next year, this is a big challenge for other teams as well.

Yes, they have done it with Steph in their first year but he didn't win the MVP, and then 2 with Durant. Now they can say that it was on Steph on this one as he finally win his first Finals MVP and the outpouring of emotions..

I think everyone of us here made a lot of money on the Warriors, specially on the outright because they are not the favorite for this season. But when they close out a tough Memphis team, we know that the possibility is there for them to go all way and win it (specially Dallas eliminating the top seed Suns).

Let's see next year, it's gonna be hard as the core of Curry, Klay and Green, they are not getting any younger.

Sorry did not reply this in time but odds were not so good with that as he was/is on form. Finally won MVP also, and most of the talk from last week was about him deserving it whether or not Warriors win but this is now moot point

congrats on a bet won, and congrats to Warriors on title
it was all over in first half, and it is done on experience, Celtics are good team, but you need to be best, if you want to take the title, and you have to have Curry in a form, or someone in extra form to have Curry down

Curry deserved MVP title, congrats to him, and he supports crypto and NFT's, so plus for him

with all said, I do not expect from them to repeat this next season

Happy to see Stephen Curry finally got his first NBA Finals MVP. First it was Andre Iguodala who shines on their first championship series then Kevin Durant got the 2 Finals MVP later on. Curry deserves that Finals MVP that he is targeting for long. He now becomes the first player winning the NBA Conference Finals MVP and NBA Finals MVP.

Andrew Wiggins almost took the Finals MVP if he is consistent from Game 1. Another shadow again to Steph Curry if ever as Finals MVP are based on Finals series and it doesn't exclude the whole playoffs series.

Celtics are still struggling to keep up with them in this quarter and they need to find a solution for this. In case they experience this again, they are done. Celtics shouldn't waste this big opportunity to win the title after a long break.

Celtics will play on their own, and this could be the best opportunity for them to stay focused and aim for the win to force game 7. The momentum is with Warriors after winning two consecutive game but Celtics is not out of contention here, they still have the chance. Though, I bet for Warriors to win today but still anything can happen and let’s see if Celtics will play better this time.

The series is not over yet as they still have a chance, no matter how small it is because a chance is a chance. The game later will surely be intense and the Celtics need to be unpredictable this time because the Warriors have managed to somehow read their moves in-between games that's why they have successfully won two games straight and also, it's really time to make use of their sizes and not just wait for their attacks as that for their advantage.

They definitely have a chance. If they win today then it's game 7 where anything can happen. I want the Warriors to win because I love a good legacy story, but I am sad if today turns out to be the last day of the NBA season, so I won't be upset if they lose. More than anything though, I don't want to see a blowout. A lot of times when in this position a team will get down a little bit and then start hoisting 3 pointers to try and comeback, which leads to them getting blown out. If Golden State gets an early lead and the Celtics give up so I don't even want to watch the second half, I'll be disappointed. Whether or not we see game 7, at least let me not know who is going to win this game when there's 3 minutes left in the 4th quarter.

Seems like we can't have a Game 7 this Finals after all because the Warriors closed the series, and as anticipated, they've won at the TD Garden. Not the way we imagined it as we know that the Warriors wanted to celebrate their win at Chase Center where the majority of the crowd are their fans. Before the Finals begun, I've seen some speculations that it will be a 4-2 record at the Warriors favor, so I guess that guess turns out great.
About seeing some blowout, it's hard to see that one at the Finals. For sure every game will be intense and neither of the team will give up that early.

And it is all over. The Golden State Warriors are the champions. They have defeated the Boston Celtics. That was a nice NBA finals. The games are great, although the last one had the Warriors leading the Celtics all the way from the first quarter up to the last quarter. While game 6 started with Boston heating up early and leading the Warriors, it proved to be a dud. It was just during the opening minutes. The rest of the game had the Boston full of turnovers and the Warriors taking over the game.

Boston try to recover on the 3rd quarter up to 4th quarter by Al horford accurate 3s and Jaylen Brown aggresive play. The only reason why Boston loss on this game is because Tatum is totally shutdown on this game. Most of his attempt got deny and result to turnover which converted to warriors points. Tatum is the one who needs to step up at that time yet he failed and result to there chance to get there NBA finals.

They are still young though and definitely can get again another title shot next year while Warriors core players is getting older. Good game well played for both team and congratulations to the Warriors!

I agree, Jaylen Brown and Al Horford did their job at their respective strengths but Jayson Tatum was having a hard time in the game earlier which his team needed him the most as it's a do-or-die situation for the whole team. Brown was indeed aggressive inside the paint contributing 34 points to the team while also grabbing balls while he could but it's still not enough because the Warriors decided to close the chapter for this season. A well fought finals indeed for the both teams!

There you have it- predicted the playoff run completely! But in all seriousness, what a dominant performance the whole Warriors team put-up in game 6 which ultimately led them to win the entire playoffs this season!

Big congratulations for Curry for never giving up despite the rebuilding phase. He literally carried the Warriors when Klay was injured and other of his team were developing. But to be honest, huge props for Wiggins as he demonstrated that he is the previous no. 1 pick. He dominated Tatum and kept his shooting ability at bay- his defending skills locked him up which led him only to score 2 points in the second half.

Not a great start for the Warriors, letting the Celtics get a 12-2 lead to start the game. Otto Porter is getting exposed out there on every play. Some NBA players just don’t have what it takes to perform at the highest level and it shows. The Warriors better replace Porter immediately. He’s being hunted on defense, turning the ball over and missing open shots on offense, and the game JUST started. I hope Kerr makes a move during this timeout and doesn’t look back.

Yes, that's what I also said in the previous thread. But after the time out, Warriors got back on it's feet and now have the lead at the end of the first quarter.

I think Klay Thompson is going to push himself in this game 6. And continue his monicker of game 6 Klay. But we will see, Tatum and Celtics, this is a must win for them. They really need to show up in this game otherwise, it will be over for them.

Their early first quarter performance is so awful that's why Celtics got huge run and I really think that the momentum shift to Celtics that time since they hyped up together with the crowd is cheering so loud on them. But there's sudden shift of momentum when late minutes on 1st quarter and Warrior able to sustain it until the end that's why Celtics lost tonight. But we cannot call this as a total lost for young celtics rooster because they can learn a lesson from this especially for Tatum which struggle for the whole final series, maybe he's so nervous because they are inexperience to go on finals.

They demonstrate their slogan on the court "Strength in Numbers" and they did it. That series was a good show and congratulations to the 2021-22 NBA Champion Golden State Warriors! Props to the Boston Celtics for their incredible run this season.

And also, congratulations to Steph Curry the man of the game!

That last award "western conference Finals MVP" if I'm not mistaken was only implemented this season, and with that, Curry has received more awards. Maybe next season they can have an award like best supporting player, so the next best player will also receive recognition.

I was hoping the Warriors would bring game 7 to San Francisco and win the championship at home. That was great run, and awesome championship series. I'm usually not much of an NBA fan, but the Warriors in the Finals make for some good times.

As for last night's game, I really didn't expect Boston to just cave like that. Other than Tatum it seemed like everyone had just given up. Game 6, one game down in the Finals, and they made the game kinda boring.

Unfortunate.... Boston lost and our dream is lost as well, but, we must congratulate the winner GSW for really coming out and giving no chance to Celtic and even more than this , Curry looked like he could play that game for 2 days and Celtic wouldn't comeback so this says a lot about GSW mentality right now as I'm sure they felt unstoppable during the game.

Yes, the Warriors mentality is what made them beat a strong Boston Celtics. Curry finally won a finals MVP and he got 4 rings already, I love his aggressiveness in the game as he really wants to end the series and he succeeded in doing that. Celtics have a little run but it wasn't enough for them to make it a close game and had a chance to win, congratulations to both teams for giving us a great 2022 NBA Finals.

Not the kind of run that they made before where they could win the game, Warriors always have a counter everytime Boston made a good run and that 4th quarter is still a quarter that they were able to control. Warriors beat the Boston by 13 points who are -3.5 before the game, that's sweet.

Yes, because the Warriors had already figured out to win the 4th quarter from game 4 to game 6.

Here are the 4th quarter scores

game 4 - 28-19 (final score GSW won by 10 points)
game 5 - 29-20 (final score GSW won by 10 points)
game 6 - 27-24 (final score GSW won by 13 points)

And look at the winning margin as well, it's not a close game.

I wanted to see Celtics winning Game 6 and carrying the series to the final game of it but it didn't happen. I still appreciate Warriors' high performance as they played much better than Celtics in this game. Curry performed really great after that poor performance in the previous game. I didn't like Tatum's performance in this game at all. He should have played better to help his team keep their hopes up. Warriors are still a winner team in NBA for years.
