Pretty shellshocked by that game. Such a contrast between 3rd and 4th quarters

I think Warriors respond in Game 2 but man what a game by Horford and White. If they keep playing reasonably well they will win the championship.
Donnie had a great prop pick on Derrick White. Over 8.5 points... Mofo killed that with 3 of his 4 thee pointers... Agree with GS in game 2

I am shocked. I was chalking up GSW as the winners after the 3Q. I was ready to cash my ticket.
GSW really sucked in the 4th.

This throws a twist into subsequent games now. I think GSW win game 2 but back in Boston, it could be an easy walk for the Celtics to get 2 wins. Game 1 results really messes up my thoughts on how this would go.

Weirdly the Celtics have actually been a lot more vulnerable at home than on the road.

On the road they are 8-2 in the playoffs, with the two losses being:

-a near comeback win in Milwaukee
-Game 1 of ECF without Smart/Horford off 48 hours rest; kind of felt like they were doomed in that game from the start

Meanwhile they managed to lose to a depleted Miami team twice at home.

I dunno, this Boston team is weird. They seem to play better in adverse conditions. My best guess is Warriors take Games 2 and 3, Boston gets Game 4 with their backs against the wall. Then who knows what happens at 2-2?

Pretty damn good coach. I can't believe he didn't get Coach of the Year.

I agree. He has been super been impressive this year. He's gotten this group to a place Brad Stevens couldn't (always thought that guy was overrated)

He certainly out-coached Kerr last night. I don't know why Kerr had Iggy out there as long as he did at that juncture of the game. Sure, he made a few shots. But it's a little much to throw him into the fire like that -- as experienced as he might be in those high stakes situations. You can't have Curry and Wiggins on the bench when Tatum and Brown are starting the 4th. Just can't do that.

I expect some adjustments -- Kerr is at least great at that.
