I’ve got to go and look at the numbers but just from the eye test it seems like that Warriors small ball lineup is just completely non functional against this particular Celtics team …the boards the rim protection ..the general physicality..it’s just not there …and it looks like all of that physical ball is just killing the warriors come q4 …Steph just has had issues in two of these fourth quarters hitting shots as well as the rest of the team and Draymond has been a literal no guard … they gotta stop turning the ball over …they gotta stop dribble penetration if they’re going to win game 4

Man the Warriors are arrogant as fukk. 
They played that first half like it was round 1 or a regular season game, tried hard for a quarter, figured they had it in the bag in the third and then came out on the same bullshyt to start the fourth. The Celtics are too good for that. Them dudes really pushing the line this series.

The answer is something they won't do: bench Draymond and start Porter. I would give Kuminga some tick as well because they desperately need some extra athleticism on the floor.

If I'm Golden State, I'm benching Draymond and giving minutes to Kuminga, Porter and even Wiseman.
Problem even with 1 good knee Williams and Horford are legit bigs and the Cs in general are a big strong team with long wings and stocky guards they are almost built like a 2000s team.
Also low key Steph and Klay are fatigued.

nah I always remember how they treated Bill Russell. Didn’t some Celtics fans break into his crib and defecate on his bed word to Amber Heard?There are more non-Black fans in the Warriors home stadium than the Celtics
Plus black baseball players noted how racist boston fans are. Torii Hunter being one of them who said he’d rather retire than get traded to that racist ass city . fukk em.

Not a great idea. Who creates the offense... Steph? You need him off ball. Who else is gonna give you rim protection along with needing another plus defender on the outside besides Wiggins.
Just all around a terrible idea. You want Porter to do what exactly?
You're a bozo.
That's why I said I'm not shytting on him too muchCurry single handily brought them back in the 3rd
Y’all watch First Take way too much
He's keeping them in these games, that's why I'm not going hard on him like I would Paul George or James Harden (who'd go 2 for 11 and be bad the whole game)

Why wasn’t Looney getting minutes? Celtics were eating on the boards , so many 2nd chance opportunities , everybody on the Celts were hitting the glass.
Great rebuttal. Loved every word of your in depth analysis and basketball reasoning why you disagreed with my post.
It's really a horrible matchup for Draymond when you think about Boston's personnel. He can't exploit anyone in their rotation. His greatest advantage is having defenses scramble and bigs out of their comfort zone whether it's in transition or by him initiating offense.
Everybody who Boston has on the floor negates this a lot, compared to other teams, they just don't have the IQ or defenders to not be lost because Draymond is doing shyt with the ball.
Draymond has been ass for years. He hasn't been as good as his 2014-2016 self for a while now. KD coming to Golden state just covered up how...OK at best Dray has been. Now that KD left it just became more obvious.
People that watch all of the Golden state games been talking about Dray's decline since the 2018 season.
Durant is just an all time great player and perhaps tied with Jordan as the greatest 1 on 1/ISO scorer of all time. Whenever one of the Warriors big 3 played bad, GSW could just always lean on Durant for ISO plays to keep them in the lead.

Seems like Kerr is scared Celtics will help off of Looney, Wiggins, and Draymond and make it harder for Steph and Klay
GOAT
The bubble was fraudulent
Steph would’ve got swept with that same Nets roster
That same Nets roster that was good enough for your dumbass to confidently pick them to beat the Celtics?
