This finals Sha.
Steph has really showed up. He is the only reason we still have a series. The other warriors are not much to talk about.
As for Draymond, he has more fouls than points. Which Kain thing be that?

He's literally a passenger at this point you can't be this bad and be collecting 25 mill +

I was about declaring an APB on you. How your side? This is the most important game in my opinion.. We need to secure game 4, the Warriors are that good. One day someone will research the Warriors 3rd quarter offensive explosions.

I dey bro. This series dey give me palpitations. I think I'ma skip game 5. Celtics need to win game 5. Period.

LOL too soon, I think this is going to game 7 especially if draymond and Co keep been useless.
Only Wiggins has been stepping up to help curry. Mehn they have to keep him, no choice at all.
Game 7 kor...Game 77 ni.

This is ending in 6.

Only reason it has dragged on this long is cause Klay has been playing like Clay and Draymond has just been a pile of shït running up and down the court this series.

Draymond actually needs to be traded for 2 solid role players tbh. Na sentiments go make warriors hold on to this donkey....

Which serious players starts a podcast in the middle of a finals game. I mean, the guy is playing poorly and isn't still shameful about it

Abeg, even the Morris twins will be a better option at this point

Maybe age has started telling on him. Jaleyn brown is just looking for the guy and cooking him.

No excuse for a starter to be scoring 2 points. 2 freaking points, ko make sense rara.

Even his mom was cooking him on Twitter grin

What Draymond does doesn't show up in the box score. He's the leader of their defense and instigator of their offense.

Not in this series though. Even the stuff he does well, he has not been doing so well.
He has more fouls than points, fouled out twice and had to be pulled out of the game in the 4th quarter.
For Kerr to take out Draymond in the 4th quarter when they were trailing, know say water Don pass Garri. The comeback was completed without him and he had to be brought in for defense.

Really? Why is it showing up in the box score for other great defenders?

when last did he win DPOY? What is his last year blk/game, steals per game?

Bros, it's showing where it matters. He had 8 assists, 9 rebounds and 4 steals in yesterdays game. I'm sure that counts for something. Don't tell me you expect Draymond Green to score 15+ every game.

Wasn't he an all-star this year?

Of course if you watched that game yesterday you'd agree defense wasn't their problem. They needed scoring, and the easiest person to pull out was Dray. He still played 32 mins, which is more than what he's averaging in this playoff. I agree he's been a little under par in this series, but we can't suddenly ignore what he's contributed this playoff.

I don't care how awesome a defender a player is. You can't be scoring 2 points in a final while playing starter minutes. Moreover his rebounding and defending has been so so in this final. Jaleyn brown is cooking him. He had 3 rebounds in game 3.

No one is asking him to turn into lebron but at at least give 10 points, 10 rebounds, 8 + assist per game and hit open threes. That's not too much to ask from a supposed all star.
Re: The NBA Begins by A40(m): 3:34am On Jun 12, 2022
Celtics and Ime need to address their 3rd quarter collapses. No team should be coming out so terrible from halftime. On the road or at home it's consistent and predictable

Also. How did the smaller Warriors outrebound the Celtics by 13? Sometimes the more desperate team just finds a way

It's amazing that some Warriors fans here have been crying that Steph has no help. This is how spoilt they've been in the past decade grin And they've played 2 fewer games than the Cavs did in 2018

I don't think anywhere is comparing this current warriors team to that 2018 Cavs.
It was a mighty, otherworldly carry job by Lebron to take them to the finals
. Having said that I think a better representation of things would be to compare how badly both supporting cast did in the finals.
I don't think any other warriors has cracked 20 points apart from klay in game 3.

Points are spread out pretty finely in this Warriors team. Klay is giving 17.3, Wiggins is giving 16.5, Poole is giving 12.5. That's over 45 points from 3 players.

Klay is shooting like 35% from the field at the moment .. Hot Garbage grin

But i get your point.


One underrated storyline in these finals is that Tatum needs to show up fast or hes going to get the chokers tag next season @ Roland17

That would a bad rep to have but it comes with the territory. I don’t think his it is underrated because it is being talked about. Truth is, JB has out played him in this finals series. For me, I don’t think it’s a case of matchup versus a case of Tatum overthinking everything, albeit, Wiggins is doing a decent job when matched against him.

He is back to over dribbling and making bad decisions with the ball and it is affecting his morale. He is doing the opposite of what he did before the finals which was quick decision, move the ball and take care of the ball. He drives to the bucket in search of fouls and when he doesn’t get the call he sulks.

I don’t want him to feel pressured to point where he believes he needs to score 40 for us to win because that is not true as seen in this series. We just need him to keep it simple, be quick in making decisions, move the ball and attack the paint with the intent of scoring.

If the game was just offense, I'd probably take CJ. But Brown is a two-way player so he gets my vote.

Like I said after game 1, make no mistake about it, this series has been about A. Wiggins. We have been unable to matchup well against him on both ends of the court.
