@@reesebeast1949 The Buck's didn't, and neither did the Raptors. Yet they both got chips... Shocking isn't it.... it is not always about experience, will power and team play will always win over individual experience.
Tbf he has been praising the Celtics since they had their all star break resurgence lol. Had them beating the Nets and Heat the whole time, and only picked the Bucks bc Giannis is his guy.
@@mario98730 Bro, he had them beating the Nets to spite Skip, KD, & Kyrie, not because he saw them making it to the Finals. And the Heat series is the series I was referring to.
Funny how NOW Skip has excuses for every team he picked that lost in the NBA playoffs, which the same thing happened in the NCAA tournament, and the NFL playoffs.
The only weakness I see for GS would be their turnovers. They turn the ball over way too much. But Boston can also get turnover happy so it may not matter
I think the series will be dictated by the refs if the refs allow the Celtics to play football defense on Steph and Klay they’ll have a hard time shooting a high percentage, have a performance similar to 2016 and I can see the C’s winning. If they call it close then I can see Steph having the best finals he’s had and getting a 4th we’ll see.
2:40 "[Warriors] don't have great defenders." Shannon has never seen a Warriors game. Draymond, Klay, Wiggins, Porter, GPII, Iguodala, Looney...? Some of these guys are the best defenders in the league lol?
Shanon is just a player rider. He doesn’t understand the game. Celtics were having a lot of trouble with Miami’s putrid offense but they are a better matchup when they are playing a much better overall offense. Warriors defense is much better than he gives them credit for.
inmagine curry have best defense rating of all players in playoff at some point....dont forget that...any team will have trouble with warriors at 7 games serie,,,all these team get tired by 3 quaters..now warriors also have poole that move like steph all game so you have 2 players running around plus klay...boston gonna feel like they run boston marathon by game 2..lol
Wiggins will always be goofy to me, he’s a disappoint for what he was suppose to be before he entered the league, Tatum has way more upside and ceiling potential than goofy Wiggins
I honestly was hoping for these teams to match up. Yes because of experience GSW have the advantage one thing Shannon was wrong about is Gs not having any defenders.. Wiggins is basically a better scoring iggy for them, Draymond is amazing, but these teams matchup very well, Tatum will prove he is a top 5 player but the warriors should pull it out in 7 games but it can honestly go either way
Draymond and wiggins cant cover 3 or 4 players. Smart tatum brown horford and grant willy is a 3 machine and rob willy will litreally send the ball to the stands
@@coreymilinazzo2555 Huh? Only Brown and Tatum can consistently get there own shot. Cut the heads off of the snake and Boston won't be able to score enough to keep up... remember they still have to guard.. they just had trouble with just jimmy butler.. the warriors have 3 or 4 players who can explode for 30 to 40 unlike Miami and Boston.. curry, Klay, Poole, Wiggins
skip hates on steph, but he doesn't hate on the warriors. If steph averages 30 7 7 on 50 40 90 splits, but andrew wiggins gets the dagger, he will make up some nonsense narrative for him to get the FMVP claiming steph isn't clutch
The Celtics had an incredibly rough road to get to the Finals. GSW meanwhile, cruised in while barely trying. Up 3-0, 3-1, and 3-0 respectively in the playoffs. Two of the losses they had, they barely even tried. The only other two losses were nuggets game 4 and grizzlies game 2. To think Boston can beat GSW 4 times when they’re going to take it seriously is a Herculean feat.
Golden state had those records ^ in the series they’ve played so far because they earned them! It wasn’t given , if Boston was better they could’ve been up 3-0,3-1 and 3-0 also
Because Boston, swept the nets, beat the formal NBA champs and beat the heat. Meanwhile the warriors played the nuggets, grizzle’s and mavs. You see a difference there? Boston took the hard way, warriors took the easy way.
The fact GSW is in the Finals yet again is already a terrible look.. their first chip was in 2015, when they won 67 wins, then 73 wins next season. #1 seed this year before injury, still won WCF. But if they beat Celtics who swept KD...damn 😂😂
The celtics went through a gruesome path to reach the finals so how's it impressive for the warriors to beat them? Had the warriors met boston in the 1st round like the nets they would've easily been beaten. You know damn well that's right!
Idk who I want to win, I'd like the young celtics team to win. I'd also like the warriors to win again without KD and to have overcome the injuries they went through.
I like the Celtics when they mature a little maybe Tatum hits 28 or so. For right now I really like the comeback story of the warriors from catastrophic injuries. 3 of the five starters had career ending injuries and scares. And wigs and draymond just being written off as not good enough and turning those lemons into allstar careers. It’s just a nice story all around if they finish it with a ring. Bostons story would be great if they have to lose to this team, have a rivalry and then come back later to win when Tatum matures a little. Plus I don’t like smart winning anything.
@@sethpoku1864 Height is a God-given skill. No matter how good you are, you cannot be as tall as if your opponent is taller than you. Now, I do agree that the Warriors, on the other hand, has superior defensive tactics. The harass the ball handler into making a mistake and they don't allow easy inside shots. The Warriors may find it tough to shoot over a much taller, defense-minded team but Boston may find it hard to keep the Warriors locked in as they are known to have the best off-ball offense. This is just a good series where the two teams are polar opposites.
Shutting down KD, Giannis, Bulter = wins. Shutting down Curry means everyone else is open and you lose. The warriors aren’t a “Big 1 team,” unlike Boston when the Dubs handle Tatum.
KD ‘had’ Kyrie with him uh cap. Giannis ‘had’ Jrue Holiday Portis Lopez & Grayson Allen with him more cap. Jimmy ‘had’ Bam & Lowry with him uh still more cap. You GS stans are going look bad once Celtics annihilate Curry Klay & Draymond, they old, no titles 🥱
Ehh, it was a fair assessment, I mean, the Bucks did have them down 3-2, and they did go to 7 games with the heat, and who would’ve expected the Nets would get swept? Low basketball IQs? Sounds like an anomaly plus a game off, close call.
Dont you never listen to Nick the gambler. Do you c how he b talking on the show. Barbershop talk.😂😁. I will be real with you on this. I some money going against whatever team Nick picks. A nice amount more than 7 times. Football & basketball. His heart was in Tampa Bay Buccaneers instead of his mind. Same way with the Nets. All he seen was Durant, Kyrie. Not the entire team. I will let u n on this. As of now Shannon talking only about Curry,Thompson,Green,& Looney. That is what he pushing to the people on the match up against the Celtics. You still have Wiggins & J Pool on that team. Let that sink in for awhile. For now that is all I will give to the people that wants to get down. I need to think on this myself. Shannon not looking at the whole Warriors team.
And also that GSW trio and Kerr does have so much playoff and finals experience at this point, and i do think that it`s hard to compete against effectively veterans of the finals in Steph, Klay and Draymond.
@@angel-gc2dp its will be hard to sweep each team because both r really good especially Celtics pretty good in defense and Warriors r really good in offense so its more like give and take maybe game 6 or 7 either team but hey lets enjoy this series bec fans r for sure the real winner for this NBA Finals.
Coaching and matchups will be pivotal. I'm giving gsw a competitive edge they seem to have a little more direction and technical playstyle with cuts and motion. Boston can get stuck in iso ball and when they don't rally they start making more mistakes. Memphis proved that playing warrior ball with agaisnt the Warriors and outmuscle them is the way to go.
Warriors just got too many firepowers and their ball movement is probably the best in the league. Celtics would get headache. Gonna be helluva series tho
Warriors have a great offense and a great rebounding team who will simply out score Boston warriors in 6 warriors have too many scorers over Boston warriors have too many players who will create and finish under the basket
😅🤣🤣🤣Bro you delusional did you watch the last game they played against each other 2 in half months ago March 16. Both squads were completely healthy to, yeah the playoffs is a different situation, but 2 many weapons just stop 😆, the Celtics defense is elite and they have more than enough of offensive power to work the warriors.
Steph is a different monster for the Celtics.. They looking to shoot threes and they barely beat the heat who shot terribly from the 3 in game 7.. Celtics will get a championship eventually but not this year.
Im honestly getting tired of hearing 3pt shooting the reason games are won. It's defense and rebouding. The two things the Warriors and Celtics do well.
Fr. Funny thing about the 3pt game is you can’t be shooting more 3’s than gs. Memphis and Dallas shoot more 3’s than gs. When the 3 ain’t falling you better try get to the rim. Hope Celtics can do that
I get the weak Boston path to finals take but you can make the same argument for golden state. Denver without their 2&3. Memphis losing Ja and Dallas without a second star. I don’t know if either team is truly a juggernaut
@@ugonnaorubele1812 everyone was tho? that's why the suns got clowned so hard. It was just luka & friends lmfao. Warriors are levels above the suns and everyone knows that
Unlike Boston, GSW beat the Nuggets and Dallas easily, whereas Boston went 7 against the Bucks without their second star, and with basically the entire Heat squad banged up.
The defenses match up well, but I think the Warriors' experience will be the deciding factor. Also, the Celtics' decision-making down the stretch is questionable and the Warriors are capable of making them pay. I say Warriors in 6.
And Kuminga! They’ll throw him on Tatum or Brown if they need to. For some reason guys show up for Kerr Moses Moody has done a solid when asked to play. If the Celtics do what they did against the Heat they’re definitely losing. Lmao that whole team was banged up and an injured Jimmy was cooking them he was the only one scoring at times. I don’t like the Celtics in late game situations almost got folded by a depleted Heat team.
@@davidv6588 Boston defense good? lol Jimmy butler took the Celtics to a game 7 by himself, Warriors got to many shooters for Boston to handle, Warriors in 5.
@@doggpound9319 Miami where physical on both ends of the floor. Name me a guy on the warriors who will relentlessly drive to the basket and draw fouls?
Celts have an amazing defense. GS has a very good defense. GS usually shows a strong scoring system. BOS goes for strecthes where they play ,offensively, worse than they are. If being in the Finals gets the young 'uns antsy/nervous, could go very bad for them.
@@arsenalgunnaz6368 I think GS in 6. One of the BOS wins will be a blowout, though... It's going to be fun watching certain role-players missing/gaining pt because of matchups.
The Celtics were #1 and GS #3-- a single pt was the difference-so, lets temper that "amazing" part--you make it sound like they were far ahead of everyone else.. not the case
I'm a Warriors fan so I'm obviously biased but the main reason I want them to win is for Klay. He went through so much with the 2 serious injuries and worked so hard to get back to where he is now. It would mean so much to him. Go Warriors. Win it all for Klay!!!!!!
@@andresmartinez8439 not even a Curry fan but u know that's BS. i think everyone including other players are hoping he gets his Finals MVP and solidify his legacy. Skip and Shannon's just being nice in the media giving celtic's game 7 to lose but we all know its not even gonna get to game 7. lol
People keep talking about how Boston Is gonna be so tired but this is the first big break they’ve had since the playoffs started I think they will be well rested and ready
Celtics don’t know how to close games and that’s evident by last night. 1 missed 3 away from going home. Warriors got too much experience and firepower. Warriors in 5
And if he made it they had 16 seconds to score 1 pt lol stop miami was str8 up gassed out jimmy didnt even come close to hitting it might as well of said would of been over if they hit a full court shot
I love Celtics defense but the Warriors got too much fire power.If this is a single game winner take all,I like Bostons chances but in a 7 game series, Warriors is tough to handle.
I think Celtics can defend the perimeter given how they handled KD/Kyrie. With how the mavs games went it really comes down to the paint which warriors will not dominate with the Celts. Or if it’s just a shootout each game which ultimately warriors win that. This is an exciting finals dependent on the strategy. Warriors just have way more fire power it’s up to the Celtics defense all of the way. I hope Celtics take game 1 if they do we’re in for a spectacle of a series.
Celtics have a ton of guys they can use to matchup defensively. The Warriors don't. Smart can slow Curry or Klay, Brown and Tatum are elite defenders. If Williams plays good luck scoring in the paint. Warriors should be the favorites, but the Celtics are a horrible matchup for them.
@@PmK96 And the Warriors don't play stationary ISO ball on offense like the teams they just faced in the East, so Boston's defenders are going to be gassed chasing everyone around and tyring to switch for an entire series--especially coming off a long, tough 7 game ECF.
Skip says “I’m not impressed by who the Celtics beat to make the Finals” 😂 glossing over the fact the Warriors played an injury riddled Nuggets and Memphis.
Celtics swept a play-in team, went 7 against Bucks without Middleton, and 7 against the Heat who had injuries to anyone and everyone. Celtics easily could be either home right now or in the Finals. With all those collapses this series, there isn't much to be impressed about, but that doesn't mean they don't have a chance.
Yea, saying that Milwaukee has a tougher defense. It's because golden states stars don't look as tough as other teams. But they play very coordinated and that's why they are a tough defense
that's on top of GSW having shaky lineups all year long, with curry/klay/green missing games, reintegrating klay back after 900+ days, and now in the playoffs, missing GP2 throughout rounds 2-3 and iguodala out as well
I'm not a Warriors fan but agree 💯 with your assessment. If they was the Lakers or Celtics having this type of run plus sign KD it would be all good with the media.
Some analysts still consider them a dynasty, which is absurd. They already were a dynasty by going to 5 straight finals and winning 3 chips. Now, if they have a golden opportunity for another chip, and they have the team that can win more chips.
If the Celtics try to play the clock if they go up by 12 with 3 minutes left, the Warriors will make them pay. It won't by Jimmy Butler taking a go ahead 3, it'll be Steph or Klay and they'll hit it and probably draw a damn and 1 on it too.
I got no dog in this fight so Im hoping for a really good series regardless of who wins. That said, I think I will pick Celtics in 7. But I wouldnt bet a penny on it.
the warriors are a more complete team, and the message will be sent to memphis about the team getting old, they’re building a secondary on the bench before Curry Klay and Dray leave
@@BrilliantDominance Jordan Poole, Kuminga, & Wiseman - accompanied by Andrew Wiggins being the vet. that helps the transition once Klay, Steph, & Dray retire. People forget Wiggins is still super young, he fits the Poole/GSW New Era timeline.
Maybe I'll be surprised, but based on what players seem to be saying, Boston isn't used to defending the way Golden State's offence works and State are not a one-man offence even if it's one man who makes it work. Boston aren't going 7 in this series. They'll be fishing by then.
I can’t believe that young Celtic squads are so calm in the battle field, in the finals, I haven’t seen that anyone complained each other for mistakes, that is why they beat nets, mils and heats, no exception for GW 😎…
Gs is under sized.... But prove it beat them at there full strenght.... After you prove it then talk as you want.... I might believe what you will tell after

I’m very afraid of Boston honestly. I think their big guards and wings like Smart and Brown will give Steph and Klay trouble. It’s going to be up to guys like Wiggins and Poole to keep us in games, which is a crapshoot. It’s going to be like the Grizzlies series but tougher. Hope I’m wrong. Go Warriors!
Golden state will be fine bro they’ve been here and done that against a LEBRON JAMES no one is tougher to face than that guy alone he almost beat them by himself in 2015 they got this
You would think skip would be all for the celtics with who their coach is Ime Udoka and how he came up under the Spurs / Gregg Popovich Oh well uncle Shannon riding wit us 👌🏾💯
Golden state is my second favorite team. Klay Thompson is in my top 3 favorite basketball players. But I am a Celtics fan number one. Any other series I root for GS. I love both of them and I’ve watched both all season. And golden state simply lacks size. Tatum, brown are too big for most or their guys. let alone Al or Williams. I just think the Celtics will run them over
Bad take . You must not watch very much warrior basketball. Dubs in 6. Y'all haven't "ran" over any one . Don't know why you think y'all finna start now 🥴
honestly, it might just come down to how much the NBA allows these games to be "football" and not hoops.. I am SO tired of hearing the term-"physicality".. translation? "we will just foul them more often and not get called for it"
Did Shannon just say "they don't have great defenders" about Golden State? Um, sir...Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and even Kevon Looney. And Klay isn't a slouch on defense either, even after his injuries.
Sharp out here saying Warriors don’t have any defense… does he not realize the only team better defensively than the Celtics this year were the warriors…
THIS. Folks don't realize how incredible there defense is. HOWEVER - Celtics did just go down a dawning path though. They started as babies and now there war vets. Went through the best teams. It's going 7.
@@1Scital1 You are not wrong, but that also means the Celtics are exhausted they have gone through two 7 game series and have also been accumulating injuries, meanwhile the Warriors are maybe even getting Gary Payton the only major injury in their roster, back before the finals start and they've even had a week of rest. That could make them a little rusty for game 1 but other than that they are in a considerably stronger position imo.
Remember how many games that it took in each round for GS to put out Dallas and Memphis: each team with one star power(morant and luka), it can go either way in the finals against a visibly more star powered team in the Celtics (Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford)…but in the end I’m gonna go with the experience and championship DNA
Goes both ways bucks have 1 scorer as do the heat that's not the case for.gsw it's easy to good at defense when u ay trash offenses people also forget about coaching and.expierance.that both go to golden state
Okay they beat Dallas in 5 and Memphis in 6 and somehow you came up with that as a reason why GS would have trouble? Y’all fans really think you analyst lol
When they talk about the Dubs, they think great offense, it’s like their 2nd best D all season long was non-existent. The Celtics’ D is built for conventional NBA basketball. A lot of one on one, iso, built a wall, build a bear, whatever. Nothing is conventional about the Dubs’ offense. The Cs better be in great condition, coz they’ll be chasing all game long, like the ghosts with Pacman.These Cs fans are in for a rude awakening...
Noone cares about season stats in the playoffs they are ranked 6th in defensive rating while the celtics is rank 2 and played against 2 of the top 3 defensive teams in the league in the Bucks and Heat. The playoffs is what matter they can play good defensive in the regular season but is nonexistence in the playoffs 111 points is alot giving up and their defensive guys are healthy the Celtics williams and smart missed games and yet they still have a better defensive rating
@@smokedogggg8374 You know you are 100% wrong they are ranked 6th. Noone cares about season stats and thats what you going by. The playoffs is when teams show up and the warriors have not shown up defensively at all during the playoffs they have been a flat joke and to top that off the celtics had willaims and smart who missed games and they are still better defensively without their main 2 defensive guys for games.
@Divyesh Craze yeah maybe they are great in defense after vsing inexperience team, stop being biased. Why is everyone saying Celtics are a top defensive team and the warriors aren’t? What are u watching? Ur a biased fan clearly
Kekw you forgot to mention the heat were undefeated at home too till the Celtics came to town and beat them at home in game 7 Celtics are the best road team
Warriors in 6, this is a team on a mission, and more importantly a legend on a mission, no kd anymore so this finals mvp is curry’s to lose. He knows it too.

Why are people acting like Warriors did not have the easiest road to the finals by far. Beating Nuggets without their 2nd and 3rd best player. Beating a young unexperienced team which for some part missed Ja in Memphis and in the end beat in 5 a team which was 100% dependent on one player in Dallas Mavericks. Now because of this they are a healthy and well rested team compared to boston and this gives them the edge in the finals
Let's be honest the Celtics faced teams that were beat up already. The warriors also faced a nuggets team beat up, grizzlies team beat up, but at some point a healthy mavericks team. A mavericks team that beat the #1 seed in the west. So now it's like the warriors faced formidable foes. The Celtics didn't face a healthy heat team, a healthy or full buck's team. You don't have to be healthy but face the full team then it's a different story. Like you can have injuries but the as long as the injuries don't take players out the game then I can give Boston credit. But I been hearing they are on some revenge tour on the teams that beat them the previous 3 years. Ok so now you facing a team you don't have any revenge factor here. And the play great team basketball, and for some reason they been rebounding, but the major thing is Miami iso, Milwaukee iso, Brooklyn iso, Golden state ball movement, that's where the Celtics will break down. Only thing that will hurt the warriors is Jordan pooles attitude he needs to be checked, and of course turnovers. Other than that I feel like dubs will come out triumphant in 6 games honestly. Boston will take 1 in San Francisco they will. This feels like last year when Milwaukee got a new arena 2 years before the championship season and then rewarded there new stadium a championship 2 years later.
@@lakb2482 alright we can make this even then both teams faced injured plague teams, but in the end everyone can agree golden state plays better ball movement and team play then every team Boston has beaten. It won't be steph going iso, or klay. It'll be more team play than iso ball. Giannis iso, kd/kyrie iso, Jimmy butler iso. Steph and klay even though steph can iso and klay is learning to. The warriors aren't going to allow iso play unless they can take advantage of it. They are more of a off ball team than a iso team. And trust and believe if the warriors get Otto man back and gp2 back there gonna give the Celtics some problems. Only thing that can save Boston is gs missing 3's and turnovers. Other than that the warriors are a great match up for Boston.
Good luck Boston that’s all I have to say… also it’s great to see horford finally getting recognition and a finals appearance. He was unbelievable for the hawks for all those years but couldn’t get passed lebron in the playoffs.
Even though I got the Celtics in 7 Skip does bring up a good point. The Celtics path to finals was tough but those teams weren’t complete teams. The Warriors are an entirely different beast so hopefully they can minimize those careless mistakes and take home the chip.

dubs in 6. I don't trust Celtics offense. they rely on too many jumpers. Can't execute in final 2 minutes. 2nd worst record in NBA in offense execution in final 2 minutes . You can't win rings that way. They're still growing & learning how to complete ball games. Warriors been doing this for a long time. Experience counts a lot in this round go dubs!!!
The Dubs only issue is turnovers… a little worried about rebounding but if everyone crashes the boards they should be ok. Keep the TO’s down and play Dubs ball we should win. Turnovers is key!
As a celtic fan I hate to hear people say we only won because the other team was injured. First of all, alot of championship teams in the past few yrs benefitted from injuries. Did the bucks benefit from kyrie and James harden getting hurt last yr? Where was the excuse then? Didn't the lakers benefit from Bam and dragic being out injured in the 2020 finals? Didn't the raptors benefit from KD and klay being hurt in 2019? Don't get me started on the warriors. I don't want to hear nothing about no injuries when the last few champions all benefitted from it and my second point is Boston has been banged up all playoffs and nobody want to talk about that. Rob Williams have basically been playing every other game and marcus smart have missed a handful of games as well, tatum played on a bum shoulder but we not making excuses
“They don’t have great defenders “ Draymond - Wiggins - GP2 (Their BEST defender) - Otto Porter Jr - Iggy and Looney. And Steph can guard. I guess these “analyst” are forgetting that the Warriors get all of their best defensive pieces back for the finals.
Celtics in 6. I was saying Gentleman’s sweep weeks ago when I called this match up. Now I’m thinking 6 cause Celtics needs Williams healthy and he was limping bad up and down the court yesterday.
Boston in 7. I'll agree the matchups are favorable to Boston. If they can't hit the glass on the offense end and give up fast break points and can't control turnovers .. it'll be a golden state sweep. Celts gotta be on point all 4 quarters. Robert Williams must be healthy as well...he's key to the D being elite
Warriors in 6. Boston has not played an offense like this aside from the nets. GSW are more consistent on both sides of the ball too. Only way the celts win the series is if the warriors turn it over 20+ times a game
@@markhanavan1444 very well could be...I picked a Boston/Phoenix finals just before end of regular season and I really like the group they have. Tatum and Brown can't be scoring in the low 20s either unless everyone else is involved in scoring. It'll be interesting because they split the regular season series. If Wiggins and Poole start going off with the 3s it's going to be an uphill battle
This is one of the best defense ever, plus you got two of the best wing players of our time Tatum and Brown, we also have the DPOY in Smart plus the veteran presence and defensive anchor of Horford. Deep bench that can defend 1-5 and good coaching from Ime. That being said Warriors in 5.
You could argue the C’s went through the two best Defensive teams in the playoffs….and two top 5 players in KD & Giannis. The warriors are a great team… but I see a 7 game series in the Celtics favor. Here’s some match up potentials: PG: Curry - Smart SG: Thomson - Brown SF: Wiggins - Tatum PF: Green - Horford C: Looney - Williams I could be wrong…but it’s gonna be a good series regardless if everyone stays healthy.
Curry doesn’t miss, he’ll average 30+ a game this series. Klay is going to give them 20 a game. Pools 20-25. Tatum will give you 25+. Draymond will stop him in the paint. Brown will drop 20 on average. Smart 20 on average. I got warriors in 6.
@@walrusgrande5408 get your facts straight.. celtics have the 1st defense and the warriors have the second best defense (which btw people are ignoring). I like the odds off the warriors offense breaking through before the celts break through theirs
If GSW shoot their averages over playoffs Celtics have no chance because they have way better %, Celtics is the best defense in the league and will affect them but this playoff GSW seems different than regular season, Ball movement will grind celtics defense.

The only weakness I see for GS would be their turnovers. They turn the ball over way too much. But Boston can also get turnover happy so it may not matter
They turn the ball over that much cause they a fast pace team that can score at a high rate and they still be winning 💀💀💀

I think the series will be dictated by the refs if the refs allow the Celtics to play football defense on Steph and Klay they’ll have a hard time shooting a high percentage, have a performance similar to 2016 and I can see the C’s winning.

The Celtics had an incredibly rough road to get to the Finals. GSW meanwhile, cruised in while barely trying. Up 3-0, 3-1, and 3-0 respectively in the playoffs. Two of the losses they had, they barely even tried. The only other two losses were nuggets game 4 and grizzlies game 2.
To think Boston can beat GSW 4 times when they’re going to take it seriously is a Herculean feat.
🤣facts coach
Golden state had those records ^ in the series they’ve played so far because they earned them! It wasn’t given , if Boston was better they could’ve been up 3-0,3-1 and 3-0 also
Raptor's had easy road to Finals..kd blew his Achilles and Klay his ACL. Bet you're not saying that
Yeah 4 games is alot lol dubs in 6
Because Boston, swept the nets, beat the formal NBA champs and beat the heat. Meanwhile the warriors played the nuggets, grizzle’s and mavs. You see a difference there? Boston took the hard way, warriors took the easy way.
The fact GSW is in the Finals yet again is already a terrible look.. their first chip was in 2015, when they won 67 wins, then 73 wins next season. #1 seed this year before injury, still won WCF. But if they beat Celtics who swept KD...damn 😂😂

I like the Celtics when they mature a little maybe Tatum hits 28 or so. For right now I really like the comeback story of the warriors from catastrophic injuries. 3 of the five starters had career ending injuries and scares. And wigs and draymond just being written off as not good enough and turning those lemons into allstar careers. It’s just a nice story all around if they finish it with a ring.
Bostons story would be great if they have to lose to this team, have a rivalry and then come back later to win when Tatum matures a little. Plus I don’t like smart winning anything.

@@sethpoku1864 Height is a God-given skill. No matter how good you are, you cannot be as tall as if your opponent is taller than you.
Now, I do agree that the Warriors, on the other hand, has superior defensive tactics. The harass the ball handler into making a mistake and they don't allow easy inside shots.
The Warriors may find it tough to shoot over a much taller, defense-minded team but Boston may find it hard to keep the Warriors locked in as they are known to have the best off-ball offense.
This is just a good series where the two teams are polar opposites.
Also said Boston has fire power but their offense is ehh
I was under the assumption that a fully healthy warriors was top 2 or 3 in defense in the NBA

Wiggins will be the key factor for the warriors. If he consistently give them 15--20 points a game warriors win easily
Points aren't the issue defense is what he has to focus on

Wiggins needs to be an mvp on defense and give offense (unless the splash bros play like they use to) for the warriors to win imo.
Skip and Nick picked the Celtics to lose every single series, such low basketball IQs

Low basketball IQs? Sounds like an anomaly plus a game off, close call.

Dont you never listen to Nick the gambler. Do you c how he b talking on the show. Barbershop talk.😂😁. I will be real with you on this. I some money going against whatever team Nick picks. A nice amount more than 7 times. Football & basketball. His heart was in Tampa Bay Buccaneers instead of his mind. Same way with the Nets. All he seen was Durant, Kyrie. Not the entire team. I will let u n on this. As of now Shannon talking only about Curry,Thompson,Green,& Looney. That is what he pushing to the people on the match up against the Celtics. You still have Wiggins & J Pool on that team. Let that sink in for awhile. For now that is all I will give to the people that wants to get down. I need to think on this myself. Shannon not looking at the whole Warriors team.
Golden State is bitter about its last finals loss. No way Steph Klay Draymond going to let their team down no matter what Boston can do

I love Celtics defense but the Warriors got too much fire power.If this is a single game winner take all,I like Bostons chances but in a 7 game series, Warriors is tough to handle.
I think Celtics can defend the perimeter given how they handled KD/Kyrie. With how the mavs games went it really comes down to the paint which warriors will not dominate with the Celts. Or if it’s just a shootout each game which ultimately warriors win that.
This is an exciting finals dependent on the strategy. Warriors just have way more fire power it’s up to the Celtics defense all of the way. I hope Celtics take game 1 if they do we’re in for a spectacle of a series.
Celtics have a ton of guys they can use to matchup defensively. The Warriors don't. Smart can slow Curry or Klay, Brown and Tatum are elite defenders. If Williams plays good luck scoring in the paint. Warriors should be the favorites, but the Celtics are a horrible matchup for them.

Every team they played was missing their second best player tho
@@pureog1479 Uh nope, Nets had KD ‘and’ Kyrie, Miami had Jimmy ‘and’ Bam. Bucks were the only exception, but they would beat GS no problem without Middleton even 🤣😭.
You just lied, try again GS stan 🤣😭💀
@@pureog1479I mean you're just lying. The Bucks were missing their No.2 and that's it. The Celtics have been injured throughout these playoffs as well. Our All-Defensive center has been playing through knee pain every single game since Round 1. Marcus Smart had a knee problem and a high ankle sprain and he's been playing through it all
Brooklyns team sucked. Went to 7 without Middleton went to 7 with Lowry out a few games. Herro out 3 games and butler out a half.

We don’t have any superstars
I’m very afraid of Boston honestly. I think their big guards and wings like Smart and Brown will give Steph and Klay trouble. It’s going to be up to guys like Wiggins and Poole to keep us in games, which is a crapshoot. It’s going to be like the Grizzlies series but tougher. Hope I’m
wrong. Go Warriors!
Warriors does not rely on 1 on 1 match up. They beat their opponents through screen, back cuts and motion play.

Golden state is my second favorite team. Klay Thompson is in my top 3 favorite basketball players. But I am a Celtics fan number one. Any other series I root for GS. I love both of them and I’ve watched both all season. And golden state simply lacks size. Tatum, brown are too big for most or their guys. let alone Al or Williams. I just think the Celtics will run them over

Bad take . You must not watch very much warrior basketball. Dubs in 6. Y'all haven't "ran" over any one . Don't know why you think y'all finna start now 🥴
@@younglito987 bro we played real teams and isnt a sweep running over the other team ? You a fool
honestly, it might just come down to how much the NBA allows these games to be "football" and not hoops.. I am SO tired of hearing the term-"physicality".. translation? "we will just foul them more often and not get called for it"
Did Shannon just say "they don't have great defenders" about Golden State? Um, sir...Draymond Green, Andrew Wiggins, Gary Payton II, and even Kevon Looney. And Klay isn't a slouch on defense either, even after his injuries.
It's ridiculous.
Curry also improved on defense
Yeah he talking crazy the dubs have so many bodies to throw at tatum and brown
Sharp out here saying Warriors don’t have any defense… does he not realize the only team better defensively than the Celtics this year were the warriors…
THIS. Folks don't realize how incredible there defense is. HOWEVER - Celtics did just go down a dawning path though. They started as babies and now there war vets. Went through the best teams. It's going 7.
That’s reg season though in the playoffs they have been significantly weaker defensively than the C’s. C’s in 7
I said the same thing lol
@@1Scital1 You are not wrong, but that also means the Celtics are exhausted they have gone through two 7 game series and have also been accumulating injuries, meanwhile the Warriors are maybe even getting Gary Payton the only major injury in their roster, back before the finals start and they've even had a week of rest. That could make them a little rusty for game 1 but other than that they are in a considerably stronger position imo.
@@Iqnacio. they don’t play till thursday they’ll be fine
Remember how many games that it took in each round for GS to put out Dallas and Memphis: each team with one star power(morant and luka), it can go either way in the finals against a visibly more star powered team in the Celtics (Tatum, Brown, Smart, Horford)…but in the end I’m gonna go with the experience and championship DNA
Goes both ways bucks have 1 scorer as do the heat that's not the case for.gsw it's easy to good at defense when u ay trash offenses people also forget about coaching and.expierance.that both go to golden state

When they talk about the Dubs, they think great offense, it’s like their 2nd best D all season long was non-existent. The Celtics’ D is built for conventional NBA basketball. A lot of one on one, iso, built a wall, build a bear, whatever. Nothing is conventional about the Dubs’ offense. The Cs better be in great condition, coz they’ll be chasing all game long, like the ghosts with Pacman.These Cs fans are in for a rude awakening...
Rightttttttt U don’t run buddy I’m gone remember this we’ll see who in for a rude awakening real soon😏😏😏😏😏
Noone cares about season stats in the playoffs they are ranked 6th in defensive rating while the celtics is rank 2 and played against 2 of the top 3 defensive teams in the league in the Bucks and Heat. The playoffs is what matter they can play good defensive in the regular season but is nonexistence in the playoffs 111 points is alot giving up and their defensive guys are healthy the Celtics williams and smart missed games and yet they still have a better defensive rating
Love your take and it what I been telling folks

he lost it in 2015 to Andre iguodala of all people. Wiggins and Poole are both better than Andre. Steph might not win it again unless he's consistent for once in a Finals.
@@garytaylor8616 LeBron should’ve won finals mvp in 2015 despite being on losing side just like Jerry west.

@@arnaud4588 don’t think I ever said that
Go Warriors in 6! Warriors you can win the NBA FINALS IN 5! Much success Golden State!!
Why are people acting like the Warriors aren't 2nd in defensive rating this season.
Why are people acting like Warriors did not have the easiest road to the finals by far. Beating Nuggets without their 2nd and 3rd best player. Beating a young unexperienced team which for some part missed Ja in Memphis and in the end beat in 5 a team which was 100% dependent on one player in Dallas Mavericks. Now because of this they are a healthy and well rested team compared to boston and this gives them the edge in the finals
Let's be honest the Celtics faced teams that were beat up already. The warriors also faced a nuggets team beat up, grizzlies team beat up, but at some point a healthy mavericks team. A mavericks team that beat the #1 seed in the west. So now it's like the warriors faced formidable foes. The Celtics didn't face a healthy heat team, a healthy or full buck's team. You don't have to be healthy but face the full team then it's a different story. Like you can have injuries but the as long as the injuries don't take players out the game then I can give Boston credit. But I been hearing they are on some revenge tour on the teams that beat them the previous 3 years. Ok so now you facing a team you don't have any revenge factor here. And the play great team basketball, and for some reason they been rebounding, but the major thing is Miami iso, Milwaukee iso, Brooklyn iso, Golden state ball movement, that's where the Celtics will break down. Only thing that will hurt the warriors is Jordan pooles attitude he needs to be checked, and of course turnovers. Other than that I feel like dubs will come out triumphant in 6 games honestly. Boston will take 1 in San Francisco they will. This feels like last year when Milwaukee got a new arena 2 years before the championship season and then rewarded there new stadium a championship 2 years later.
Lmao all I saw was the first sentence u wrote and realized u clearly don’t watch basketball
The Mavs weren’t even healthy wth!! They still missed some players !! Lol
@@SR-ud2bm how about you read the part about Boston faced all iso teams.
Celtics we’re never healthy either?? Lol
@@lakb2482 alright we can make this even then both teams faced injured plague teams, but in the end everyone can agree golden state plays better ball movement and team play then every team Boston has beaten. It won't be steph going iso, or klay. It'll be more team play than iso ball. Giannis iso, kd/kyrie iso, Jimmy butler iso. Steph and klay even though steph can iso and klay is learning to. The warriors aren't going to allow iso play unless they can take advantage of it. They are more of a off ball team than a iso team. And trust and believe if the warriors get Otto man back and gp2 back there gonna give the Celtics some problems. Only thing that can save Boston is gs missing 3's and turnovers. Other than that the warriors are a great match up for Boston.
Good luck Boston that’s all I have to say… also it’s great to see horford finally getting recognition and a finals appearance. He was unbelievable for the hawks for all those years but couldn’t get passed lebron in the playoffs.
Even though I got the Celtics in 7 Skip does bring up a good point. The Celtics path to finals was tough but those teams weren’t complete teams. The Warriors are an entirely different beast so hopefully they can minimize those careless mistakes and take home the chip.
I think you’re stupid. Warriors in 4
Warriors had an even easier path and got to avoid the suns
@@quinnswanson1632 but warriors won in 5 games twice in two series and one in 6. Celtics went 7 games vs both injured bucks and injured Miami. No Middleton or herro. Are warriors missing klay or Poole or Wiggins ? Nahh right. Warriors in 5 if they healthy
People just glossing over the fact that the Celtics aren't playing healthy either. They gutted through some tough circumstances to get here, and they earned every bit of it. People saying the Celtics looked lackluster have clearly never seen this team play with a healthy Rob Williams and Marcus Smart.
@@andrewleavitt6548 Kerrs says GSW never got there top 5 healthy team on the floor this season until the first game of the playoffs and feels they are peeking right now!

@G Wells What fire power?That a joke?No,I am not even from the USA.Warriors have fans worldwide
Boston took 7 games , until the final 30 seconds of the game to beat the Heat that has only one player(Butler) who can score 25+ points per game. The Warriors has 4 players that can score 25+ points in any given night.
maybe due to the fatigue from the 2 series prior??
@@BeverlyhillsTo54th that’s laughable because you’d think having more guys who can score would mean the conservation of energy is being more evenly dispersed throughout the team as opposed to be focused on a single player
They also have someone who can't seem to play multiple games in a rien where he is locked in, i dont see curry carrying and getting a Finals MVP its just not in him
Whos the fourth tho ? If you just meant Wiggins gtfoh he aint putting 25 pts in a finals game against this defense
@@arnaud4588 I said a player who can score on any given night. Wiggins scored 27 points against that great Boston defense in December.
dubs in 6. I don't trust Celtics offense. they rely on too many jumpers. Can't execute in final 2 minutes. 2nd worst record in NBA in offense execution in final 2 minutes . You can't win rings that way. They're still growing & learning how to complete ball games. Warriors been doing this for a long time. Experience counts a lot in this round go dubs!!!
warriors winning the chip in dominant fashion in 4
They have stronger players in the paint than GS. And like GS don't rely on Jumpers?? Man they nearly invented that!
Shannon will always be against GSW because they were in the way of LeDrama's 2 potential rings. Bitter.

@@AR-rn8ok they do in a way.
@@AR-rn8ok Right. LeBronze was swept by GSW and Spurs. Thats the legacy/

The Dubs only issue is turnovers… a little worried about rebounding but if everyone crashes the boards they should be ok. Keep the TO’s down and play Dubs ball we should win. Turnovers is key!
Outrebounded the best rebounding team and you're a little worried about rebounding? You are 300% right about the turnovers. Dubs in 6.
They gonna turnover and they gonna lose. Simple
Correct on turnovers wrong on rebounds lol despite being the smaller team at times they outrebounded every team in every series they were in.
The saving grace is Boston turns over the ball just as much. Rebounds ? Hmm they haven’t played Boston in a 7 game series, will see.
As a celtic fan I hate to hear people say we only won because the other team was injured. First of all, alot of championship teams in the past few yrs benefitted from injuries. Did the bucks benefit from kyrie and James harden getting hurt last yr? Where was the excuse then? Didn't the lakers benefit from Bam and dragic being out injured in the 2020 finals? Didn't the raptors benefit from KD and klay being hurt in 2019? Don't get me started on the warriors. I don't want to hear nothing about no injuries when the last few champions all benefitted from it and my second point is Boston has been banged up all playoffs and nobody want to talk about that. Rob Williams have basically been playing every other game and marcus smart have missed a handful of games as well, tatum played on a bum shoulder but we not making excuses
All I know is this is going to be an electric finals! Warriors in 5
“They don’t have great defenders “ Draymond - Wiggins - GP2 (Their BEST defender) - Otto Porter Jr - Iggy and Looney. And Steph can guard. I guess these “analyst” are forgetting that the Warriors get all of their best defensive pieces back for the finals.
Hasn’t Skip picked AGAINST the Celtics in every round?? 😭🤦🏿♂️
That’s another reason we’re gonna win.
Celtics in 6. I was saying Gentleman’s sweep weeks ago when I called this match up. Now I’m thinking 6 cause Celtics needs Williams healthy and he was limping bad up and down the court yesterday.

@@byrd1106 sweep? 🤭🤭🤭🤭
Incredible how many pundits favored the Celtics in the finals.
Boston in 7. I'll agree the matchups are favorable to Boston. If they can't hit the glass on the offense end and give up fast break points and can't control turnovers .. it'll be a golden state sweep. Celts gotta be on point all 4 quarters. Robert Williams must be healthy as well...he's key to the D being elite
Warriors in 6. Boston has not played an offense like this aside from the nets.
GSW are more consistent on both sides of the ball too. Only way the celts win the series is if the warriors turn it over 20+ times a game
@@markhanavan1444 very well could be...I picked a Boston/Phoenix finals just before end of regular season and I really like the group they have. Tatum and Brown can't be scoring in the low 20s either unless everyone else is involved in scoring. It'll be interesting because they split the regular season series. If Wiggins and Poole start going off with the 3s it's going to be an uphill battle
This is one of the best defense ever, plus you got two of the best wing players of our time Tatum and Brown, we also have the DPOY in Smart plus the veteran presence and defensive anchor of Horford. Deep bench that can defend 1-5 and good coaching from Ime. That being said Warriors in 5.
You could argue the C’s went through the two best Defensive teams in the playoffs….and two top 5 players in KD & Giannis. The warriors are a great team… but I see a 7 game series in the Celtics favor. Here’s some match up potentials:
PG: Curry - Smart
SG: Thomson - Brown
SF: Wiggins - Tatum
PF: Green - Horford
C: Looney - Williams
I could be wrong…but it’s gonna be a good series regardless if everyone stays healthy.
Curry doesn’t miss, he’ll average 30+ a game this series. Klay is going to give them 20 a game. Pools 20-25. Tatum will give you 25+. Draymond will stop him in the paint. Brown will drop 20 on average. Smart 20 on average. I got warriors in 6.
Basing those ppg against the second best defense in the league. Warriors aren’t that.
@@walrusgrande5408 get your facts straight.. celtics have the 1st defense and the warriors have the second best defense (which btw people are ignoring). I like the odds off the warriors offense breaking through before the celts break through theirs

If GSW shoot their averages over playoffs Celtics have no chance because they have way better %, Celtics is the best defense in the league and will affect them but this playoff GSW seems different than regular season, Ball movement will grind celtics defense. Smart is also banged up so is Williams probably. Would be a great game though I think GSW in 6 !!
The Golden States will defeat the Celtics at the parameter and with their play runs which would not allow Celtics to rest on offense.
