NBA Finals 2022 - Warriors vs Celtics.

[Yaunfitda]

Warriors won the game last night without Curry having a monster game. 0/9 on shooting 3 pointers and only 16 points. Now they lead 3-2 and will likely close out the series in game 6. Boston played well through 4 games but they just don't have what it takes.

It was Wiggins this time, and Klay also has something to do with the big win. And what's funny is that aside from the poor shooting from Curry, they lost the 3rd quarter.

But then, they took the 4th with a huge run that Boston don't know what to do because they don't have the experience. And yes, it looks like the Warriors are going to close out the series in game 6. It will be game 6 Klay time.

To those haters who do say that Curry is the one who do carry out the game then the recent game was showing off that each members do their roles despite of that bad night of Curry.

Well Sir Charles Barkley is one critic of the Warriors. But then Golden State shows another talent of them, win crucial games with Curry not having his usual monster game.

They do know about ball rotation and defense and making out points or simply compensate on whats lacking and thats the thing i do like with Warriors.
Im not that rooting for Game 6 close up but rather it would be interesting if this one would push through game 7 on where everything could really be thrilling
and exciting.

Everyone in the Warriors team knows their role that even if they are replaced in the floor, the new players can come in and then their offense will continue with fluidity. I think game 6 will be close, but it will still be the Warriors to win the championship.

You could really able to differentiate a team which does have finals experience but we cant underestimate them yet they wont reach out into that position if they arent that capable.
It is really just happened that they do up against on a team which is strong but we cant make out some conclusions yet since this one isnt over year.
We do still have game 6 which is the decider whether it would be tie up or totally be close up.

It was Wiggins this time, and Klay also has something to do with the big win. And what's funny is that aside from the poor shooting from Curry, they lost the 3rd quarter.

Despite that, they've been saved by the last shot of Poole which made them retrieve the lead of the Celtics. And after that, the rest is history and they've won the 4th quarter smoothly.

You could really able to differentiate a team which does have finals experience but we cant underestimate them yet they wont reach out into that position if they arent that capable.

Celtics made a good run for the whole season but it's really a different experience when it comes to the finals. It's not just all about the physical battle that they have to do but also mentally and we know that they're all aware of that. That's why the Warriors is still one of the best teams during the finals, they've been there for so many times.

Why everyone is talking about the poor Celtics' defense on why they lost the Game 5? From what I observed the entire game, the Celtics' defense is good but it's just that the Warriors are able to score even if there's a good defense. The warriors are just too much for the Celtics in that game but it doesn't mean that's the end of them. Boston Celtics will bounce back and I'm sure of that.

They won't allow the Warriors to celebrate the championship at the Garden arena.

The Finals will be decided in Game 7.

 Some very interesting stats from last night I heard on my local radio station about the Golden State Warriors..

They are the first team in NBA history to miss 30 or more 3 pointers , shoot at least 15 fewer free throws than their opponent, have a rebound margin of minus -5 or worse and yet still win the game, regular season or post season.

Pretty crazy impressive stuff that just goes to show how good this Warriors team is.

It can be said about almost any sport; defense wins championships.  The Warriors defense is among the best in the league, which is how they've gotten to this point without having the best season or the best stats.  Steph curry had a horrible night; he's their most valuable player but only scored 16 points in game 5, despite being on the court for 37 minutes.  Most teams wouldn't be able to recover from that.  Let's face it, Steph won game 4 single handedly, scoring 40% of the Warriors total, but even that game couldn't have been won without a stout defense.  Even when the team has trouble scoring, they can still keep themselves in the game.

It's been a fun run, but I expect the Warriors to drop game 6.  The Celtics are just too strong at home, and their season is on the line.  Oh well, it'll be fun when GS wins the title at home.

Yes, I definitely agree. It is the team that is great here and not just a player or two. The Warriors are a great team not just because of Curry, Thompson, Green, or even Kerr. The Warriors are a great team because of all of them. I was amazed at how even the superstar Curry himself had to give the ball to Wiggins because he is clearly doing a better job that night. When somebody is not playing at his best, somebody else had to step up and take over. This team's simply amazing.

Let's give credits to the players who stepped up when their main star is having a rough night .
Klay stepped up, Poole stepped up, Payton stepped up, Green is having a better night than their last 2 road games.

Aside from those 4, lets give also credits to Wiggins who was the hero of this game. He is doing it both offensively and defensively. He forced Tatum to shot 3 airballs. He is very good rebounder and that emphatic dunk in the final minutes of the game :X. I mean many know that Curry might get the Finals MVP but this dude is very consistent all throughout the NBA Finals so I will not be surprised if Wiggins will steal it from Curry like what Iguodala did .

Experience really is a big factor to this match-up. The Warriors know how to adjust when needed.

Warriors had already won twice in a row, if Celtics adjustment will not work in game 6, then most likely the series will end in 6. You know, Warriors are good in close out game, so I trust them to bring the energy that is needed to defeat the Celtics, I can already feel the celebrating in advance, LOL.

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. 

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

Maybe he just forgot to put a comma next to Jordan, just kidding!
Both of them made sure to give their best to contribute to the team, it's just that Wiggins is more gifted in size that's why he can go against Tatum, Williams III and Horford. The kid have a bright future and he will be given more exposure to enhance his skills in the court, Green is getting older that's why the Warriors needs to invest in young good players in the center. Well, they managed to win the Game 5 and 1 win remaining to claim the title.

Wiggins has been criticized many times, but look at him now, he accepted his role in the Warriors although he is the number pick, and with that, he now slowly develops to be a consistent player and could win his first championship with the Warriors. I like to see him continue his impressive performance in game 6, and how much more if Curry will not struggle anymore.

[Sanitough]

<<<<....>>>> I like to see him continue his impressive performance in game 6, and how much more if Curry will not struggle anymore.

This series will be over if Curry will score 40 points again. Warriors have different players who can step up, while for the Celtics, it's only Tatum who is a bit consistent because Brown is already limited with the great defense Draymond Green put on him. I know Smart is also good, but he is not consistent, so I don't expect him to be a big contributor.

It's a road game and Curry might explode again. It seems that great players wanted to show how good they are in the road, like the last time wherein Curry had 40 plus. But Wiggins and Klay should also step up to help Steph.

As for the defense, Green is trying to held himself, against Smart and the rest of the Warriors, like Horford and Williams. But Looney and the surprised starter Otto Porter is also helping him out.

Curry has better performance at home compared to the road, well that 43 points of him in game 4 was just exceptional, but I don't think he will ever achieve that number as for sure the defense of the Celtics will still be focused on him. Ever wondering why Curry was scoreless in 3 point area last game, that's because he gets double every time he gets the ball, and smart was focused on Curry alone in that game.

In game 5 curry did not scored we'll because of the tight defense of the boston celtics,  when curry have the ball 2-3 guard will come him and try to stop and yes they will success curry did not scored from 3 points in 9 attempts it's a huge defense from the boston but they forgot that the other teammates when they will double team curry will scored we'll and that's what happen in  their last game Wiggins Thompson and green made take the shot and win.

[casperBGD]

it sure looks that this series will be over after next match, Warriors are playing better, and first lose was just a glitch, that is now forgotten

Celtics will be under pressure tomorrow, and that could give them headache, they were one break up, lost that advantage, and experience is not on their side

Curry will be a decision maker, that we all agree, as he was in fourth match, when the sentiment changed, and Warriors progressed

[blockman]

It's very much likely that game 6 is the end of this finals. But we shall see if the Celtics will get a bounce on Friday.

I can already feel the celebrating in advance, LOL.

Everyone is having this feeling and can't blame you on this one. The GSW fans are already feeling that this is going to be the game for Warriors.

I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility that Curry cannot or will not score 43 again vs Boston. Yes he got double teamed but as you see that just made other players step up. Boston will make changes which will likely include not double teaming Curry in game 6 as well as there is no way Curry goes 0 for 9 on three point shots. I think Curry has a monster game 6.

I will not say the word sure for this kind of match because Celtics is capable to reverse sweep Warriors in all the remaining matches if they will just find a solution on there weakness for the second half. I'm sure that there coach already noticed that they are lacking fire power when closing the game because he is using all his big guns on the first half while leaving the second half for the bench which is not effective anymore.

Grant Williams is the key player usually giving spark for Boston on second half on all of there games win but he is not effective anymore because the other players of warriors is now working even without curry main 3 points contribution.

Boston still got this but GSW is really have the upperhand.

Yeah, I agree with that, Celtics have a decent chance if they will not double Curry because that will make their defense better. In fact, game 4 was a winnable game by the Celtics but Curry was just shooting very well in the 3 point area that game. IMO, Celtics just have to stick with their strategy in game 1 and game 3 where they beat the Warriors with a decent margin, and also they need to take advantage on the inside, not relying so much on their outside shooting.
