2024 NBA Season

[TravelMug]

I am very much hyped on this game 3. It seems that there's no time that has been wasted and it's like a very perfect exhibition match for which it's just a quick game.
Both showed great but the Celtics are better this time, I guess if you really are on your home court that's giving you some more eagerness to play better as your fellow citizens are watching live.

We know that in this series, there's no home court advantage.

But I do agree that the team playing at home are very much comfortable with their fans behind and we can clearly see this in the first quarter alone. Even Celtics great Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker is in the house. And this could pump up Jayson Tatum and his team and win big in this very important game 3.

The series is going to Boston now for next two games, that means Celtics have their home court advantage but they need to be very careful because they don't have any chance to make mistakes. They need to win both games to keep home court advantage. Now it's Tatum's turn, he can't play bad third game in a row. He needs to have some responsibility. Expecting a good defense from Celtics again.

Yeah, just 8 hours left and we will see game time again. I am excited.  
I think the wall that is keeping Tatum from greatness is just experience. He needs more of it and I am glad they took Horford back because that guy has a lot of experience and could share it with him.
Then, confidence. He lacks it. Whenever Wiggins is in front of him, he soon finds a way to pass it to his teammates. He should try breaking Wiggins or put him in foul trouble if he can.

Despite of lacking out with that experience but still for Tatum overall performance or gameplay then its still really that impressive but sooner or later he would really be realizing on how to break those walls.
Tending to be that scared whenever he's been guarded too tough which there are times that he could handle it out but most of the time he would really be hesitate or in doubt on driving on the basket.
These are only small and inevitable kind of flaws yet each player would really be passing into these kind of situation but sooner or later time will come that he would really be able to overcome it.

Right, Tatum is really turning out to be the new star in the NBA with this kind of performance. It's the biggest and so far he is far from choking and has improved as far as passing to his open team mates. I don't know, but I'm not sure how confident the Warriors are entering Game 4. The pressure is on their side now and they have to find a way to motivate themselves and not let the Celtics take a huge lead because it's going to be hard  to overcome it in 3rd or 4th (although they are capable).

Besides Tatum improved his game performance. I notice too that he is already matured on his character, He is not the typical arrogant player that keeps holding on to his pride. He always choke before because he is always so cocky together with Jaylen brown before but now they really improved a lot and finally can play consistent despite the pressure that they are facing. I think they got this Finals already even GSW manage to get game 4.

I see Kobe on him and he really improve thru this season. Their duo together with brown really improve Celtics and their actions not to trade their young cores is really give them good result today and for sure they have huge chance to take this season out on GSW and the game 4 will be another exciting chapter to see. But also knowing Warriors they became more better team once they are defeated and it just Wiggins and Klay is not consistent today and Curry only make them alive this game maybe in next game they are in full revenge mode that's why we can provably see more exciting head to head match between Celtics.

Tatum has been developed by time. The process made him change his mentality like you, I also noticed how good the adjustment

in terms of passing the ball and not to choke in trying to force himself to score. Now, he trusts everyone, and he first locates every

Open teammates before he will take his shot. Still need another 2 more wins and they will take this series away from the Warriors.

We never know, but if they continue playing like this, they've got a better shot for this year's title.

[ChiBitCTy]

Well I was certainly wrong about the Warriors being able to come in and easily beat the Celtics. Last night showed even when Klay Thompson and Steph Curry are playing well , the Celtics still seem to have an answer for them. The Celtics are just too deep too to bottom. I think the Warriors still have a shot, and I think they will win game 4, but my faith in them winning this series is pretty much gone.

They are still not out yet, but their chances are getting slim with this lost. I love how the Celtics jumps the gun on them and then play the whole game with a big heart. Specially when the Warriors try to close the gap in the 3rd. The big 3 of Celtics didn't panic. And when the 4th quarter starts, it's all over, they pulled away and responded in game 3. Let's hope that Steph is still good to go in the next game.

[Reid]

Wow, Boston Celtics is proving a lot of things after this win in Game 3.
Young guys against the experienced ones. The young, aggressive, and hungry team is on their way to win their championship. It may sound early to tell but it won't hurt to celebrate early for the Celtics fans.
How many times did they collapse the Warriors offense? Like 4-5 times shooting at 1 second left in the shotclock, if my memory is right. This is not the Warriors we are used to see anymore and so does the Celtics who upgraded their defense.

[freedomgo]

Even Celtics great Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker is in the house. And this could pump up Jayson Tatum and his team and win big in this very important game 3.

Well, ofcourse, Paul Pierce and Antoine Walker surely wouldn't want to miss the first home game in Garden because for how many years, the Boston Celtics is now participating again in the Finals match-up. It's been a while since the franchise's last apperance.

I agree, the only advantage is the crowd because these fans will surely boost some confidence of the players. The Celtics has bounced back in their home, now the series is 2-1. I'm not gonna lie but I really think that they can will next game too.

[mirakal]

~snip
Anyway, I expect Warriors to win the second game and bring it to a 1-1 tie.

it is a pressure on Warriors to must win this one, and one in Boston to get back home
if Celtics win next game, that would be really hard position

yeah, Warriors had it all, overturn like this one does not happen often, but eventually, it can make a difference in the end, Boston can become champion with three home wins

Warriors didn't make any surprise to me by winning the second game but that winning gap was really huge by the way. I didn't like that much of a gap as a Celtics fan. I'm going to be expecting a much bigger defensive performance by Celtics in the third game. I think it can be a very competitive game this time and Celtics can win by a small margin against their opponent. This would be a nice advantage for Celtics and maybe even they could make it 3-1 after too. Celtics can be a really unpredictable team in the end.

As much as I want to agree with you but I don't think that the Celtics can be that reliable when it comes to playing at their home, surely there is a slight advantage but it's already proven that they aren't that dominant. I'm saying that they will bounce back in the game later after having that huge loss in Game 2, but a 3-1 series? That might be premature for now. 2 successive homecourt game doesn't mean that they can really win.

Second in the eastern conference for a reason, td record stands strong, only lebron has been the one to be the Celtics in 7 there. I think the warriors have the ability the steal a game in the garden, but it won't be tonight. I expect tatum to finally turn up, brown and smart to put on a clinic and big Al to show up in the clinch time. I expect poole to be a shadow of the previous game, thomspon will be getting back in the swing of things, with curry the duo are always a threat, but feel the rim won't be kind tonight. Still think this will be a 7 games series. Seems like this finals there is a lot of rest time and every play is planned.

Yes mate, it turns out that you predicted it well and I've said last time that I think that they would really bounce back in the game earlier which they did. We expected the main key players to take control of the game but Al Horford was left among Tatum, Smart and Brown but the good thing is that he managed to be useful in the center with Williams grabbing 10 rebounds and blocking shot attempts by the Warriors side. We will know next game if they can be like this again but in the Warrior's side, I think Curry is somehow injured during the 4th quarter. I hope that's okay and he won't miss any game.

[Questat]

I think Curry is somehow injured during the 4th quarter. I hope that's okay and he won't miss any game.

Yes, we saw how he felt with his leg or ankle.

This is what happened.


But good thing Curry is a real Warrior because;

Therefore, no need to worry about his status in game 4, he will play in a must win game.

The pressure is on their side now and they have to find a way to motivate themselves and not let the Celtics take a huge lead because it's going to be hard  to overcome it in 3rd or 4th (although they are capable).

In-fact, he is following Jaylen Brown and Stephen Curry in the list to have the Finals MVP Award this season. I seriously think that he could improve more and imitating Kobe Bryant will really make him far in this league, and maybe in the upcoming games he can be the 1st in the list to get that award if he will be consistent in producing big numbers. The Boston Celtics is now leading the series and it looks like they will have another possession next game if the Warriors will continue the gameplay they did earlier, they rest of the roster should step up their game even further while Stephen Curry is there and Klay Thompson is back.

[ingiltere]

It happened as I expected. Although Warriors got lead in third quarter it was just a temporary situation. Boston controlled almost whole game. Jaylen Brown started great again, somehow he couldn't score in second quarter much but in total he played a great game. Marcus Smart did his job both in defense and offense and Tatum showed leadership in though times. Even though he didn't shot very accurate he used the ball in important times and didn't let anything bad in breaking point. Boston took 2-1 lead and still have home court advantage. Fourth game may decide the fate of the series.

[CLS63]

I'm very happy with the win Celtics got in the third game of the final series. I really liked their performance this time and the Brown-Tatum-Smart trio took a big responsibility in this game and performed very well. Curry and Thompson played very good for Warriors by scoring 31 and 25 points respectively but they still had nothing to do against especially Celtics' last quarter performance. Celtics started the game wonderful and captured a big advantage in the first quarter but Warriors did a good in the third quarter and closed the gap a lot. Celtics stil had the last word and played a great quarter after that. They are 2-1 ahead now and I hope to see them winning again next time.

I guess we can say that they really played comfortable in their court as they really started the game shooting very well and it carry to their players. Smart, Brown and Tatum played like a superstar, and I still remember comments agains this 3 that they can't play along. But look at how they played not just in this finals, but in the second half of the regular games to put themselves in the position now to become a NBA champion.

[MK-74]

Boston Celtics played well in the last game and won the game, everyone who watched the game saw that.
3rd quarter Golden State evened the score, but they couldn't resist Boston in 4th quarter.
I think Boston will win the next game. I hope they win. I want to see them champions this year.

It's still given that advantage if they're on their home court and that's giving them a better playing time if they're on their homes.
You do see that they're expected to play at their best when they're on their home court and that's just another encouragement and advantage that they need specially if they're in the finals.

[chaser15]

Although the Golden State Warriors lose in Game 3, they are really good when catching up with a score. No big lead can really assure a win if facing this team. Teams should try to maintain the momentum and protect their lead as the Warriors can do something to even the score late in the game and they did it. The Celtics did a great job to stop the Warriors' momentum when the score is now getting closer.

That's a good plan, limiting the Warriors' offense at the start to make them do a hard effort to catch up with the lead. That was a tiring thing to do.

[Roman_Picisan]

victory in this 3rd game for Boston is a dream to develop the city of Boston, if you have money for tickets that reach ± ​​$ 30 k equal to the price of 1 unit of car in this country.  congrats on the win.🏀🏀🏀

But good thing Curry is a real Warrior because;

Therefore, no need to worry about his status in game 4, he will play in a must win game.

Curry probably has a minor sprain or bruise because his injury doesn't look serious. So I'm more than sure he'll play in the next game, even though there's a possibility that he'll be uncomfortable because of this injury, and that might have a negative impact on his performance. In that case, it wouldn't be good for the Warriors since Game 4 will be crucial for them. They shouldn't let the Celtics lead 3-1 in this series.
