Geoff Grace Posted May 30, 2022 Author Posted May 30, 2022 The NBA Finals are set: Boston Celtics outlast Miami Heat in Game 7 to cap grueling East finals Miami almost caught Boston at the end, coming within two points with less than a minute left; but the Celtics prevailed. Warriors vs Celtics sounds like a classic matchup. Best, Geoff My Blue Someday appears on Apple Music | Spotify | YouTube | Amazon

KenElevenShadows Posted June 10, 2022 Posted June 10, 2022 I thought this before the series began, and I really think it now: the Warriors are in some trouble. The Celtics seem to hustle more, perhaps a combination of determination, grit, or more athleticism. Hopefully Curry isn't too banged up.

ProfD Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I'm a bit surprised the Celtics are up 2-1 with home court advantage. I really thought the Warriors would win this series 4-2. Now, I'm wondering if the NBA has mandated this Finals go 7 games with the Warriors winning at home. 😁😎 PD "The greatest thing you'll ever learn, is just to love and be loved in return."--E.

HammondDave Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I’m not surprised… The Celtics are much larger and more physical than the Warriors. They are just taking control.

No denying the greatness of Steph throwing down 43 with a bum wheel. Entertaining game. It has been difficult for me to understand how so many have already crowned Boston as a foregone conclusion, but recency bias and a plethora of East Coast journalists is undoubtedly part of the sway (I've noticed the by-lines of the last six articles I've read since G4 ended...and how the narrative is framed that my Dubs "stole" the game, and how heroic Boston played into the face of unfair privilege granted to GS and such). To me this whole series has seemed like the back and forth one would expect from the teams, having seen them fight through their playoff series against very-worthy competition. There is no way either team was going to blow the doors off the other, nor any way either team was going to wilt in the face of losing a game. It sometimes seems today's sports media has to go hot take just for the sake of attention. But no matter which side prevails, has been a great back and forth so far. 1 ..
KenElevenShadows Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 "Unfair privilege"? What's weird is that although there were bad calls on either side, it seemed like GS got fouled a lot without calls. But whatever. Hard-fought game.

timwat Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 The articles, my friends. What I am saying is I am reading too much that canot simply grant that in a series w two good teams, one of them is going to lose each night. ..
HammondDave Posted June 11, 2022 Posted June 11, 2022 I just watched the replay of the 2nd half of last night's game. The Celtics lost because Steph got really hot (love watching that guy!) and the Celtics panicked in the last five minutes and could not make their long shots. They should have continued to muscle into the lane. You are not going to beat the Warriors in a three point shooting contest. Game 5 will be very interesting.

Geoff Grace Posted June 17, 2022 Author Posted June 17, 2022 Congrats, Tim! The Warriors finished with a dominant performance, and they added to their legacy by winning another championship without Kevin Durant. The Celtics had a strong postseason, nonetheless.

KenElevenShadows Posted June 20, 2022 Posted June 20, 2022 This was probably the most impressive championship win for the Warriors, coming back from all those injuries. Curry deserves the Finals MVP.

It's like they're playing the All Star game (30 footers, minimal "D") every freaking night. Kind of like how MLB is devolving into "It's either a home run or a walk".....ahhh......metrics.......
