@@Kermit_T_Frog They're not a mediocre 3 PT team. You shoulda figured that out by now. All playoffs people have been saying 'they won't keep shooting this well' and guess what, they did. Their 3pt % is 37% post-season, GSW's is 38% against much worse defences. And it's grinding a result out by keeping themselves in the game. It's pretty much inevitable they'll go on a crazy 15-0 run at some point. They kept themselves in it even when playing badly. Don't be bitter
@@Kermit_T_Frog First in order to go on a 17-0 run, that means they played excellent defense. It's not all about the crazy shooting. But also, the Celtics have done this before when teams left them wide open for 3s. They're a fine shooting team. If you give them open shots, they'll make 'em.
Playoff Al is different 😤🔥 JB set the tone in the fourth, Derek White hit timely shots, and JT was being the facilitator. Marcus Smart was doing his team as the heart and soul and Payton Pritchard got some quality minutes in. Good win but Boston needs to stay resilient and know that the warriors are gonna comeback strong. Seria isn’t over, but go Celtics!!! ☘️☘️☘️
@@BurgoYT Yeah,, GSW fans don't seem to get that. They still think Curry is going to average 35+ a night in the playoffs again. Those days are *ovaaaaaaaaaaa!!*
I'm in a little bit of pain as a Warriors but also Derrick White fan. One thing I know is that the chess match of adjustments between these coaches will be incredible to watch. Regardless of who wins I hope it goes to seven.
i mean derrick white just had a kid, fred van vleet had a kid in the finals and went off against us back in 2019, only matter of time before he saw warriors and went off against us 😂
Starting to take for granted how great this channel's quality is. And to get it out less than 24 hours after the game? Content this good is foreign these days on YT
Spurs fan here, and it is a joy to see Derrick White performing well for his team and pitching in hard. Miss the guy playing for the Spurs but I'm glad he's finding success at Boston. Go get that chip young man! Celtics just proving me wrong left and right. Had them losing to the Bucks, had them losing to the Heat then had them losing game 1. My brain says GSW for the finals but my heart does want Boston to get the chip especially for Al Horford. Guy's put in the work all his career and has been rebuffed so many times in the playoffs and was loyal to a point to the team that drafted him. Never the best at his position but always competed. Don't know if they can really pull it off completely but I'll be cheering the C's until this playoff run ends, one way or the other.
Yeah if the C's didn't have their jumpers going it would've been a bit of a harder game. But the C's will definitely take those kind of games in this series and especially if the Warriors jumpers aren't wet. Then the C's can just bully them by going after matchups like Poole.
Celtics had the best run in this playoffs so far. Sweeping KD and Kyrie, eliminating the reigning champs Giannis and the Bucks in 7, eliminating #1 seed in the East Miami in 7, and now trying to win the finals against the best team of the last 10 years in the Warriors. EDIT: To the people saying the teams they beat were unhealthy, don't forget Smart and Rob Williams were in and out of the lineup as well in some parts of the playoffs and JB was going through a hamstring injury and JT suffered some nagging shoulder injury as well. And while this isn't the same Warriors from 2017 and 2018, GS is still one of the best organizations in today's era both in terms of their front office and their system which allows them to be successful when healthy. Plus it's Steph, Klay, and Dray. These guys are one of the best trios in NBA history just considering how well they fit together and how much they won together. I mean would you really put the Warriors ahead of the Celtics in terms of a better playoff run so far? The Warriors went up against Jokic who's missing his 2nd and 3rd best teammates so it's always 1v5. Memphis lost Ja and while the Grizz had success without him, he's still their best player and closer in the clutch as evident of their erratic decision making without him on the floor and the Grizz plays with no pressure without him so it just makes them unpredictable, but not better. And Dallas who lives and dies by the 3 with Luka obviously exhausted as heck. And I'm not even a C's fan and I don't root for any of the teams playing in the finals so I'm not being biased. And I'm not hating on the Warriors, just considering their situations side by side would obviously show that the Celtics had a better run. Just love watching some good basketball.

Shout out to smart for staying on the bench in the last couple when white has been hot, love to see starters doing whats best for the team rather than trying to play hero ball, very unselfish moves
@@jasepip335 Do you think he's gonna be unhappy while his team is on a 17-0 run? Who exactly are you comparing him to that you think this was somehow a "selfless move" by Smart?

No I think he was on the bench because they was using pp to fight the screens I believe pp isn't as big as smart and a lot faster smart had trouble sometimes with the screen
What an amazing video! There is more in-depth basketball analysis in the first minute of this 8-minute video than in the HOURS of NBA Finals coverage from ESPN
Definitely. I still think it’s 2-2 after the first four. Boston shot great but it was mostly bad defense by golden state. They have to be much better defensively and I think they will
Has nothing to do with my comment, the comment I replied to, or the video but sure. They played great defense. Just as they did in the second and third quarters. Warriors offense went stagnant and Celtics defense forced them into turnovers which has always been their biggest issue. The Celtics not missing any shots prevented any fast break opportunities which limited their offense. Overall they still managed to get similar looks, they just had less opportunities at shots because of those issues and skme just didn’t fall. Hope that clears it up for you
I really like this kind of teammates. They're all over the place eventhough it's going to be exhausting at the end. But more plays is going to be done by that point. Great game by the Celtics 👌
I had Derrick White in fantasy this year. Watching him on the Spurs was special. It surprised me when he was buried on the bench for a few months in Boston. I am glad they are properly utilizing him
As always excellent and unbiased analysis. You have accurately explained the Celtics flaws for the first 3 quarters, and how Coach Ime Udoka made fantastic adjustments, and they followed it to perfection. Jayson will not shoot as badly again(mostly due to nervousness), and Celtics have to play with great urgency like they did in the 4th quarter in the next game. Get excited Celtics Nation. Onto San Francisco on Sunday. #18
I'm not surprised with the result. Green keeps daring Horford to shoot 3s knowing that he can hit it. Game 2 will be a hell of a defensive adjustments for the Warriors.
And it was interesting to hear what Green said after the game. He implied that Horford, White and Smart won't hit 3's like that again.... Horford and Smart shoot those 3s regularly, so Kerr better let Draymond know that big Al is no hump.
I mean Horford and Smart will have some stinkers. But they will find different ways to stay in rhythm on offense when their jumpers aren't going in. Smart can always go after a smaller matchup against him and see if he can draw a foul. When those games happen tho Tatum needs to step up and be a walking bucket himself. Though if the Warriors can't slow him down with his play making, I think it changes the direction where the series goes because he was feeding the C's offense so well in game 1. Same with Brown who looks like he'll make BBQ chicken out of Poole all series long. Either bother his handles or he just gets to play his own brand of bully ball.
This was a game that showed what great teams do. The number 1 guy wasn't scoring and the others stepped up big time. Smart, Brown, Horford, White all contributed with Tatum not hitting his shots, and they stayed the course defensively. Im amazed how this Celtics team continues to adjust their game plans, and how they find ways to win every single night
This is content for people who played basketball, FINALLY some intelligent breakdowns...so tired of the tv garbage only focusing on storylines and drama. Thank you.
Boston’s defense locked in and stayed focused. They just stayed on a string and it was beautiful. Also helped that the Warriors played Iguodala and Draymond during that run pretty much making the Warriors offense harder on themselves. Warriors just completely collapsed on defense. Everything was an easy kickout and guys were ball watching and not rotating with energy at all.
They go through NETS, when most people thought they wouldnt.. They grind through the Giannis and the bucks, they grind through the Heat.. they're actually more playoff ready because of this. They also have SO MUCH TO PROVE! I love both teams, but im going for Horford and the young celtics to get them a championship!. LETS GO!
@@BestBoss2005 you mustn't place sports bids bro.. because the odds and favourites for winning that series were leaning towards the Nets. Get your facts right. Sick of people talking out of the ass. Looking like amber heard in this comment section. lmfao.
i love your presentation the way you dissected the game... entertaining and informative... indeed it's basketball but i also feel like am watching a chess match... thanks and keep them coming.
WE NEED TO THE DEFENSIVE LINE UP TO CLOSE GAMES!!!! Boston's rim pressure just opened up a lot of open 3s and it felt like they didn't miss any. Maybe a combination of Steph, dray, Klay, Wiggins, Otto, gp2, Iggy maybe
Boston are really something else at the moment. They were struggling in first half yet were close. They survived third quarter Warriors and smashed in fourth. I was of firm belief that Warriors are too experienced but now I see possibility that Celtics can win this series.
Warriors have the experience but in the Celtics case, they could be in the perfect storm of having everything come together for them. Tatum isn't on his prime yet but his arrival at the Finals is kicking his do or die attitude up. Even when his offense wasn't great his playmaking was good enough to get everyone else moving the ball for quality looks. He will need a handful of 30+ point games if he is lead his team to a chip. The good news is that their defense is holding up somewhat vs the Warriors shooting hot and if they have the offense to match, they can steal some Ws and close out.
these just are NOT LONG ENOUGH lol this may be the only channel I support on with real money based on how good you analyze basketball . I really wish you would do a spinoff for Football season , HELL even College Basketball this is such an amazing channel .
Al has been in many playoff battles in the 2010s. But he probably feels this is his best shot at something he's always wanted (as his Hawks/earlier C's got gate kept by Lebron's Cavs) so he may go 150% for this series alone.
Man I really like our response throughout this playoffs not only after losses but now after starting of slow too. During the 3rd quarter GSW went on a run like they always do and JT was playing terrible but we hanged on and never gave up. Jaylen stepped up and set the tone on the beginning of the 4th quarter and then Horford and White were shooting lights out. Overall great passing and sharing. A real unsung hero was Pritchard he really plays hard every possession and his a great shooter. Don't know why they think he is a defensive liability he can hold on his own in the Heat series whenever Butler got the switch he didn't give him a inch of space. For me Theis and Pritchard need to see the floor in strives so we can be well rested in crunch time
I gotta say that JB fueled the comeback. Outside of the 3s, their defense adjusted. A White/ Pritchard backcourt was great defensively. A White/Smart backcourt, is hell for the Warriors.
Man Boston watching TV and everyone was basically saying when Golden State Wins if Steph Wins the MVP will he be in the Top 10 of Basketball Players of all time? Boston like like What?????? Hell to the no!
Idk if u saw it but tatum was actually the point guard for the Celtics during the whole 4th quarter smart was on the bench , Pritchard and white was spotting up for 3 when they were on the floor
Wow nice breakdown! JB and JT really make the difference, getting their teammates wide open shots was key to their win. On the other side Poole needs to step up on offense if he's going to be this bad on defense.
I think the key for Boston was the small lineup early in the 4th, with Al at 5, White and Pritchard. In defence they were better following warriors's guards in the screens, and in offence they played faster and moved the ball very good which led to all those 3's. Very enjoyable game :)
This was literally jolting to the senses to witness. One of the most well rounded teams in years, with sooo many weapons at their disposal, it’s not even funny, actually no it’s hilarious 😂
Every highlight I've watched have shown that the Warriors REALLY locked up Tatum (putting 2-3 guys on him, clogging his lanes, bothering his shooting space, etc.) which made him struggle so bad. Thankfully, the Warriors forgot to guard the role players and that created the comeback. Kudos to Tatum for passing the ball well + Al and White for making them pay
Derrick white been underrated. Elite defender, good quick ball mover, smart high iq player. When the shot goes in it’s only icing to the cake
The “having a new born child” buff is no joke!
He kinda looks like Fred Vanvleet
When we traded for him and I watched him I just though “but what if he could hit his shots?”
Agreed. Funny they are playing GSW because he's got a lot of those same Shaun Livingston qualities.
He kind of reminds me of Ron Harper but with a better shooting touch.
Man this group is just resilient that they just grind-it-out non-stop they don't stop until the final whistle blows is just amazing to watch.

A real unsung hero was Pritchard he really plays hard every possession and his a great shooter. Don't know why they think he is a defensive liability he can hold on his own in the Heat series whenever Butler got the switch he didn't give him a inch of space. For me Theis and Pritchard need to see the floor in strives so we can be well rested in crunch time
Bball breakdown also has a great breakdown
''the ageless wonder'' is one badass nickname for Al
Totally agree with you! caught my ear - seems to be one of the nicest cats on Earth!
100%!
God bless Al!
Always a good day when thinking basketball posts a video. Keep up the high quality vids.
Dam I was just looking for that! And them the best channel drops it
That Tatum travel at 3:00 is mind boggling.
The analysis of the 1st quarter is great! Smart has been blamed for Curry's open shots so it's great to see what caused the space
Man, these consistent observations. You'd be a really good video coordinator for a team in the league.
Thanks for the breakdown!
I can’t be the only one now who watches games now and thinks “Ben is gonna have an absolute field day on this one”
Great analysis, go Celtics, beat GSW!
Great video analysis.
Whoever's bright idea it was in the Boston Celtics front office to acquire Derrick White is a genius. Probably one of the best moves of the season.
One of the most exciting Finals in years. Let’s go Boston!
I gotta say that JB fueled the comeback. Outside of the 3s, their defense adjusted. A White/ Pritchard backcourt was great defensively. A White/Smart backcourt, is hell for the Warriors.
Man Boston watching TV and everyone was basically saying when Golden State Wins if Steph Wins the MVP will he be in the Top 10 of Basketball Players of all time? Boston like like What?????? Hell to the no!
Playoff Al is gonna be the next great nba alter ego
Idk if u saw it but tatum was actually the point guard for the Celtics during the whole 4th quarter smart was on the bench , Pritchard and white was spotting up for 3 when they were on the floor
That 4th quarter was everything Boston put up a fight this is great
If the Celtics keep this up
They winning the chip 🎉
Hope the series goes to 7 tho it’s entertaining
Al Horford the Goat 🐐
Nice larst name bich
iguadiola is the goat. he was just rusty this game but he will be the clutch player warriors need now that steph is proven to be a 4th quarter choker
Wow nice breakdown! JB and JT really make the difference, getting their teammates wide open shots was key to their win. On the other side Poole needs to step up on offense if he's going to be this bad on defense.
Do this for every finals game please!?🙏🏾
The only bball analysis worth listening to
Great break down u got my sub
I think the key for Boston was the small lineup early in the 4th, with Al at 5, White and Pritchard. In defence they were better following warriors's guards in the screens, and in offence they played faster and moved the ball very good which led to all those 3's. Very enjoyable game :)
This is a good breakdown video.
See the way Al Horford give praise to GOD after a big game?!?! I'm going with the child of God to even win FMVP. Go Al and go Boston
This was literally jolting to the senses to witness. One of the most well rounded teams in years, with sooo many weapons at their disposal, it’s not even funny, actually no it’s hilarious 😂
3:45 that combo was nasty 🔥
Thanks for the vid
Every highlight I've watched have shown that the Warriors REALLY locked up Tatum (putting 2-3 guys on him, clogging his lanes, bothering his shooting space, etc.) which made him struggle so bad. Thankfully, the Warriors forgot to guard the role players and that created the comeback. Kudos to Tatum for passing the ball well + Al and White for making them pay
