a few more bits and pieces i’ve seen

- stephen a., at the arena, said that the dubs looked v tired by the end of the 1st. “hands on their hips”.

- the refs look like they’re letting them play. colin cowherd says that’s an edge for boston if it continues and it’s hard to disagree

- poole will normally get a team’s third or fourth best defender on him. boston’s third or fourth best defender is going to be elite and physical

boston the best at being corporeal

Game 4 vs. the Bucks they had a 4th quarter like that - iirc they only missed 2 shots, hitting 89% or something stupid, which I’m sure was all sorts of records

boston the best at being corporeal

Maybe the worst draymond playoff game I’ve ever witnessed

― Spottie, Thursday, June 2, 2022 11:26 PM (two days ago) bookmarkflaglink

gotta agree, been consuming recaps and breakdowns and seen a lot of draymond standing in no mans land watching celtics take open threes, a very un draymond behavior

The league has averaged about 3.3 corner 3s (per team) per game this season. The Warriors have allowed 23 in their last three games.

Overall, the Warriors have allowed 123.8 points per 100 possessions over those three games, the most they’ve allowed in any three-game stretch with Green in the lineup this season.

Dray has to build content for his podcasts. He’s on the hero’s journey… gotta play poorly and get desperate before the triumphant return to glory.

Problem is Boston might have different script

i dont care about the pod thing but people are really mad about it. i think its cool we hear from the players right after games but they def need to be careful not to give the opponent any bulletin board material.

havent really been nervous about any game this year until this one. so hard not to overreact to one game but... i have doubts. the margin for error is completely gone vs this celtics defense. they just cant waste possessions.

i can certainly see why for most fans of the team the optics of podding right after a loss are…not great.

yeah i would not like it if it were my team

imo podcasting is harmless and the whole backlash to it is pretty funny its a perfect absurd story, but dray should prob just not do it anyway its just not worth sticking your neck out like that does he really want to have to hear people bitch about his podcast forever if they lose

tho yeah tbh marcus smart podding throughout the playoffs does not sound great to me

there was story about how horf is keeping everyone dialed in throughout the offs telling them its a business trip no partying no doing dumb shit and im just imagining him saying no podcasting

personally if i find out anyone's castin it's over for them

*punching my hand into my fist* dont make me check your luggage for usb mics

ha, which celtic would be the most likely to podcast? would it be marcus? i don’t have a great sense of all the personalities

yeah prob marcus, maybe jaylen would have one that wasnt about basketball

actually wait its grant definitely grant

Yes 100% grant. Yea the podcasting backlash is funny he’s in his hotel talking about hoops I see no harm. If they get swept and he plays every game like game 1 then I might say give it a rest but he’s been doing it through the playoffs and he’s been fine. Kinda cool to get real time reactions beyond the post game platitudes and cliches from someone playing imo. Dubs fans (mainly the curry stan brigade) have been weird about Dray ever since he signed with klutch and started gassing lebron tho.

Off the court Dubs are all business for the most part even Poole they say is like a hoop eat sleep and in the gym at all times guy.

lol i can remember taking the bus home after my junior varsity hoops team lost its first road game and thinking, well, i have to feel really bad now because that's how sports work and i'd totally bought into it

obviously it's a job and successful athletes do so much work that fans know nothing of, and i don't think 'casting is gonna make draymond less prepared for game 2. but puncturing fans' illusions is never worth the blowback

Horford telling you to not party and to praise god before eating the blandest meal at 5 pm when you have 50 million dollars if you win or lose.

It's not all about the money. There's an elation about winning a chip that almost all the best players seek. If you do that, the money follows of its own accord.

Andre Iguodala is out. Per Kerr, Andre’s knee swelled up and he’s “day to day.”

— Kerith Burke (@KerithBurke) June 5, 2022

Robert Williams has been upgraded to available for Game 2, per the Celtics.

— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) June 5, 2022

Steve Kerr said that Gary Payton II has improved health-wise the last couple of days and Kerr anticipates Payton playing in Game 2.

— Keith Smith (@KeithSmithNBA) June 5, 2022

love to improve health-wise

it is nice to know which people will play in the game and which will not

the game is all about who plays i always say

I was hoping GP2 had added a stepback :(

dray made a contested layup

draymond is out of control

needs to save that energy for his podcast

Trying to fire himself up but now another tech gets him booted.

theres no such thing as another tech, he can kick the refs in the nuts now if he wants they won't call it

He’ll have a long leash for sure but you never know

this game was nice and propulsive for the first 6 minutes but now the refs have slowed it to a crawl

Speeding up again

One 3 after another

unfortunately for the warriors anytime they get hot from three the celtics match it

lotta turnovers

Doesn't seem so unfortunate to me

Goaltending possible calls should be reviewed automatically at tv timeouts

thats nice the refs stopped a celtics fast break for nothing

Ten minutes for a play on call yuck

Warriors should make their layups imo

xxp tbf White asked for it
