Boston on the ropes. Can the Dubs finish them off?

What I don't understand about the NBA is how Golden State can go on a 21-0 run, lead by a million, and then the Celtics respond with a 7-0 run to cut it within single digits. The NBA has severely changed. Everyone is hitting threes now and deficits disappear in a blink.

In fact, 4 out of the 5 biggest NBA comebacks in league history have happened in the last 7 years lol

Just blowout after blowout. I guess close games are too much to expect.

 

[HisIceness]

Overall these playoffs are 2017-like, just blowout after blowout.

The playoffs have been unwatchable since the CF began. The lone exception is ECF Game 7.

Ridiculous shot by Steph. Wow.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Remember when the Celtics were up 12-2?

 

[Jack Straw]

Curry is unreal

 

[Breakers]

This is an embarrassing performance.


Fans should be booing.

Wiggins' rebirth with GS has been pretty remarkable.

 

[Elvis P]

If the Dubs win, at least the Cs won't pass the LAL.

Celtics cut it to 12. Not dead yet.

Historic choke in progress?

It's the NBA, everyone makes a run

Wiggins' rebirth with GS has been pretty remarkable.

I was a fan of that trade the minute it happened. Even recall stating it here.

Came into the perfect situation where he doesn't have to be "the guy". D'angelo Russell was just redundant for Golden State.

Warriors are finally healthy, refreshed and motivated.

They said only one team in history won a NBA final game after trailing by 15 or more at the half. Celtics is 08.

Al Horford playing with the desperation of someone who knows he is unlikely to ever come this close again.

Draymond Green is such a whiny clown of a player. Having a hell of a game but man...can't stand that guy.

As he should.

He is getting older and a lot of things went right for Boston in these playoffs.

How about after 3?

June 14, 1992

Chicago set an NBA Finals record by overcoming a 15-point deficit (79-64), after three quarters, scoring 33 points over the final 12 minutes to defeat, Portland 97-93 in Game 6 and clinch its second straight NBA Championship.

Isiah Thomas said it best on NBA TV before one of these games. He is Golden State's version of Bill Laimbeer.

Hate him all you want. He is a winner and a guy you want on your team.

 

[Jack Straw]

Al Horford playing with the desperation of someone who knows he is unlikely to ever come this close again.

As much as I hate the Celtics, if they were to come back and win the series I would be happy for Horford. Really good player who hasn't been on very good teams during his career. And a class act.

The Masshole media is going to grill Tatum tomorrow. Yikes.
