Game 7 is possible but it's also possible that the Warriors will finish the series in game 6.

Everyone stepped up when Curry needs help from his teammates.
It was a low scoring game but I'm impressed with how the Warriors prepared for this game.

Wiggins 26 points
Thompson 21 points
Poole 14 points.
Payton II 15 points,

Enough for the Warriors to beat the Celtics.


Celtics don't have enough depth. I know they've reached the finals and it should generally be enough but they are lacking someone who can ease the pressure off of the starters. The starters for Boston have always played well together but against a very sturdy lineup of Warriors, they need someone coming off of the bench to score big. Which I don't see happening.  Sad

They have a good bench IMO, they are just inexperienced but this series is not over yet, if Celtics win game 6, then things will be different although the Warriors still control the home court advantage. Game 7 is going to be a full defensive game, both teams will play hard to earn the championship.

Jordan Wiggins the young star player in the golden state warriors he doing so great that can carry his team to victory and best player of the game.

LOL, looks like you combine the two good players of the Warriors roster.
It's actually, Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins.  Grin

Anyway, both of them did great, especially Wiggings who are the best player in the game.

I also have a strong feeling that it will gonna make it until game 7.

Just wow for Poole, for bringing back their lead before the third quarter ended by three points, one of the highlights that marked me. Also, Wiggins is unstoppable in his attacks.

But even though Curry struggled, the Warriors will win this final.

Boston is the best defender for this season as we saw earlier Stephen curry did not scored will he got only below 20 points and 0-9 attempt from 3pts in entire game which is prove that Boston can stop the leading scoring.

Wiggins is having himself another game. His highest scoring playoff half ever and 7 rebounds to match. I’ve been a fan of that kid since his days at Kansas and thought he caught a bad rap just because Cleveland wanted to swap him for Love to pair with LeBron and win immediately, which they did. Seeing him finally be appreciated by the Warriors and able to shine in the nba finals is awesome. I hope he stays on the warriors because it’s the first place that’s really shown him the respect he deserves. Love what I’m seeing as the warriors look likely to take a 3-2 lead over the Celtics.

Edit: Definitely spoke too soon! The Celtics come out and hit 8 straight 3s to start the 2nd half!!
3rd quarter Warriors at home turned into 3rd qtr Celtics for a change. was close for a moment but I was never in doubt. This Warriors team is just too good to let the game slip. IF the attack doesnt work, they'd pull their shoes up defensively. I think, its almost over. I'd be surprised if the Celtics manage to win the Finals. I'd consider it as a miracle, honestly. Need some next level coaching and strategy from Udoka for Boston to pull it off.

looks like the Warriors know exactly what to do in the 4th quarter because they further stretch their lead to complete wins against the Boston Celtics. now that they are 1 game away to win the NBA championship this season, they can proudly say that they are back again to cause a problem for whoever will gonna be their opponent in the NBA playoffs next season. Still, Wiggins, has the most points in this game and he completely plays different games in these last two games and the results are priceless for the GSW.

Yeah, they stay locked in until the end, in the previous game (1) it's almost history repeating itself, Celtics had started the 4th very well and were building on that momentum, but Warriors also had response of their support own, it was a much better game from Draymond today and Curry didn't have to score a lot but they were still able to win.

But the big question now is that can the Warriors secure the championship in Game 6 at the TD Garden ?

I think they will. If they can win with Steph having the shooting night he had tonight, the Celtics are in all sorts of trouble. Wiggins has stepped up and shown them that he’ll destroy them if they slack on defense and Klay was back to hitting shots. If Draymond could get a 3 to fall, the Celtics would be done. The next game will be a must watch for sure. The Celtics with their backs to the wall at home. It’s going to get gritty.

Tonight is a pretty big game for this series. Whoever loses will be facing elimination on the next one. That’s a position nobody wants to be in. While I do hope this series goes seven games, I am rooting for the Warriors so I’d like to see them get the W tonight. Would be great if Wiggins had another huge game. They’ll need his rebounding again considering how undersized they are.

More of a heavy problem if the Golden State Warriors will lose this game. They are about to face the crowd of the Boston Celtics in Game 6. While on the other hand, if the Celtics will lose this game tonight, it makes sense to think that they can bounce back as they have the crowd next game to boost their morale.

I see that the Warriors are the most pressured to win here as they know and understand what's next for them.

I see the Celtics will be pumped tonight up so that they can finish the series in front of their home crowd in Game 6 which is a good experience for them as all first-timers in the Finals. Can't wait to watch the game later on.

So that's the question!
The Celtics will have to choose whether to defend Curry or Thompson! If Smart or Tatum are on a defensively inspired day, I have no doubt they could cut down or even cancel out Curry or Thompson!

That's not so simple.  You can't just choose to guard Curry.  He has such great off the ball movement, he can basically pick which defender he wants and utilize screens to make it happen.  All he needs is an inch of space to get off a shot, so he's going to get his shots.  The Celtics can try to chase him around, but ultimately it will take team defense to stop him.  Even then he would likely become a playmaker and get his other guys involved.  Now they even have Poole to throw in there and exhaust the defense while Curry rests.  I think the Warriors don't lose another game this series, but I could quickly be proven wrong.  Smiley

It's been a few seasons since we've had a balanced NBA Finals this way. I confess that we couldn't predict (at least) who will actually be the champion of this season!
If the Warriors don't play seriously there is a small chance they will lose to the Celtics (like for example in games 1 and 3), but on the other hand, the Warriors have demonstrated that they are a team strong and can be the champions again, and that he proved in this last game at TD Garden!

Who do you think will have more chances to win these finals!!?

Boston Celtics erased all the doubts that they won't stand a chance against the Golden State Warriors.

Before the start of the NBA Finals, I'm seeing some posts around that how the Celtics can even match the much more powerful Warriors. I think no one even imagined except for the Celtics fans that the series will be tied at 2-2 before Game 5.

However, the most predicted exact score of 4-2 in favor of the Warriors still has a chance to happen especially if they will win on their homecourt arena in Game 5 and then finish the series on the Celtic's homecourt in Game 6. But with how these teams are showing off their respective performance, it now becomes unpredictable who will win in Game 5 as homecourt advantage is not even a big advantage.
Hmm... I don't know, the Warriors are a strong and traditional team, because for a few years they were a team that had a great number of victories in the NBA.

The Celtics are a classic team (despite their young squad), if Boston can defend Curry or Thompson extremely well, that will be a big advantage for the Celtics, I believe Smart is the best option for this, he is not very tall but he is fast but at the same time he is strong and can guard Thompson as well.

For the Celtics win, some NBA star (GSW) will have to get injured or the Celtics players will have to play extremely well!!

Warriors is back on the top now, they've got the homecourt advantage and knowing how great they are playing in front of their

home crowd, Dub-Nation always influenced the way they are playing. If they can play great from the road game they are more

capable doing more inside Chase center. We will see another greatness from Curry or maybe we will see adjustments from Coach Kerr

letting Klay or Poole to be their triggerman while Curry will be the decoy in attracting the defense.
So that's the question!
The Celtics will have to choose whether to defend Curry or Thompson! If Smart or Tatum are on a defensively inspired day, I have no doubt they could cut down or even cancel out Curry or Thompson!

No dream is too big and no dreamer is too small
The 1st 2 quarters doesn't matter to both teams as they are good in 3rd quarter and 4th quarter where we can see a real competition.

Agree, the most important is the 3rd and 4th quarter but it has been the Warriors who have dominated the 3rd quarters in the last 4 games, I don't know, I think Celtics has not won a 3rd quarter in the game, they won most 4th quarters only like in game 1. So what I'm saying is, the Warriors have to improve their performance in the 4th quarter as that is the most important.

Maybe you mean Boston on that I bold on your statement. Imo, All quarters are important including the first half since it will determine how much energy, timeouts, fouls left on the 2nd half. If the team giveaway the first half, There's a chance that the other team will take advantage of it since there's a long period of rest at the halftime. IF team got a double digit behind on first half, The scenario will be more energy-consuming for the team to close the gap until they will be out of gas in 4th quarter which always be the case. The reason why GSW is so good on second half is because they have a good bench players that covers there starters unlike Boston which typically all there main guy play at the start of the game which cause them a lot on the late game.

I think it is the rotation of players why GSW have enough energy to play until the last seconds.  Even with a good number of good bench players, if the player rotation isn't monitored, they will end up in a mess.  I do agree that every quarter counts since in Basketball, every point counts.  We shouldn't say that the first half isn't important because that is where the game pacing starts.  whoever controls the tempo of the quarter wins the game.

Rotating the players of the Warriors played a vital role in why they've won 2 games in this series and they don't have that much choice but to trust in their bench players because their main starters couldn't possibly win against the younger-blooded Celtics in terms of energy and gas tanks. Aside from that, Steve Kerr won't risk to exhaust his key players within the 1st half because he knows that the Celtics is capable of taking the lead in any given time.

If Klay and Green can bounce back and have a better game then the Celtics are in trouble. Steph is after that MVP trophy… Wiggins was able to make a huge impact in the game without shooting well either. Once a couple of these guys start shouting above 50% in a game, the Celtics will be in trouble. I haven’t seen Tatum carry the Celtics yet like I thought he would. Watching the games it feels like Jaylen Brown is their star.
Jayson Tatum is a good player but he is not at the greatness level in my opinion. He is not a franchise player like Lebron or Kobe for example and his playing role seems like that as well. He is 24 years old but this is his 5th season. I can understand the potential and I think he can be a great player but seems like he is not there yet. For the last two regular seasons, he averaged 26 points and that is seriously good but in the playoffs the games he carried the team are not numbered so much. I don't remember he was like 'winning' a series. It was a whole team effort from Celtics. Of course this is highly natural and one of the things supposed to happen but I just feel like a lot of people expect from him to be like Jordan, Lebron or Kobe and I don't think things are like that.

That's true, Celtics really managed to silence their bashers that they don't have any chances against the much experienced Warriors. Their chances became smaller when the key players of the Celtics are still enduring some injuries they got in the Miami Heat-Boston Celtics match up in ECF.

I can imagine that the Warriors will win the game tomorrow and will end the series at their home, that's gonna be in Game 7 because Game 6 will be held at TD Garden. I know it's risky but the way I see it, the Warriors always liked to win the championship at their homecourt.

In the last 5 minutes, Boston hit and hit to seek three points rather than making two points. But GSW's defense has been tight that's why Boston urges and insists on trying to achieve three points, pity that.

They live by the three but die by the three.

I don't know but Draymond is the guy from the Warriors who seems lost. That's actually the biggest what if for the Warriors in this Finals. If Draymond played like he used to back when they battled against LeBron, I'm thinking the series could be 3-1 in their favour.
He's like distracted by his podcasts lol.

The game 5 might decide who's going to win the Finals this year.

I think Draymond will play better at home, and we will see his improvement in game 5 because he is a clutch player, he will use his experience to help his team, especially on the defensive side. Draymond is just busy defending Brown, LOL..maybe coach Kerr have some plans for him in game 5.

Draymond will be just fine.  He doesn't need to be a scorer on this team.  You have klay, steph, Poole, Wiggins, etc.  Dray just needs to male sure his defense is there.  That's what he brings to this team.  He is key to the 5 man rotations they have.
