Feel that you will be next to Thompson and Poole with Curry in trouble.
However, they are capable of having big nights. Of course, Boston should already know that.
Warriors 64-77 Celtics, 9:08, third quarter
Steph Curry was convicted with his fourth foul at the beginning of the third quarter. Maybe not a shooting foul, but it’s still legal. Smart gets three free throws and does it all. This time the Warriors are the ones making the turn, Horford takes advantage of a throw to Brown for an easy basket that forces the Warriors to call for an early timeout.
Warriors 64-72 Celtics, 9:18, third quarter
A foul on a loose ball turns Rob Williams upside down and Curry hits another three. Already playing for eight points, this is starting to worry. Oh, man, another Celtics twist: Smart was called in for a foul on Curry’s hit.
Warriors 61-72 Celtics, 9:49, third quarter
Keven Looney responds with a stab. Brown gets a key rebound and gets the ball to Horford for another pass.
And yet there is Curry hitting another threesome.
Start of the second half
Warriors 56-70 Celtics, 10:58, third quarter
Okay, will we see the Death Lineup warriors here in the third quarter? Curry starts the half with three fouls. However, Rob Williams pushes the Warriors’ defense for a basket that makes it look easy.

I know it was a good year for the Celtics, but Nelly’s performance in the finals is almost * too * 2008.

I wish it was Futardo instead. Although this will be more than 2006?

I am convinced that the Celtics are a better team, but there is something to be said for the experience. We will learn a lot about both teams in this third quarter, the NBA finals may depend on it.
I’m going to be lazy here and just post this tweet here from someone who knows a lot more about NBA basketball than I do.
# The Celtics withstood a mini run by GSW, leading 68-56 at halftime. Key Findings … * Tatum 11 points, 4 rebounds, 5 assists * Second Chance Points: 13-3 Boston * Steph Curry 14 points, 3 personal fouls

Thoughts at halftime
Obviously, the Celtics dominated the first half, but after all this, the 12-point lead can not feel comfortable. The Warriors are the kings of the third quarter and the Celtics have not solved the problem with the security of the ball. The arrival of the Warriors 9-0 could be a sign of things to come if the team is satisfied.

The referee allows both teams to play in this quarter. Smart hits laying, Curry hits jumper, Smart hits laying. This is the end of the result from the first half, as the Celtics lead by 12 points until the half.
Warriors 54-64 Celtics, 1:13, second quarter
Otto Porter Jr., who was mean in this series, is in the game here. He helps Wiggins to apply. That’s fine for the Warriors, but Brown responds with a three-pointer because it looks like Golden State Day is over.
What was I talking about Otto Porter? Here he hit a three-pointer to keep the Warriors afloat.
Warriors 49-61 Celtics, 2:27, Second Quarter
Violation of the Golden State clock. Horford does what the Warriors did to them: Horford takes out Green, gets Tatum’s ball, who gets Brown’s ball that no one can touch. This thunderous crash will force the Warriors to call a time-out of 12 down.
Warriors 49-59 Celtics, 2:58, second quarter
That’s eight turns in this game. Maybe it’s just part of their identity?
Good news for C? This is Curry’s third foul. Kind of sticky, but it’s home cooking. Horford tries a three-pointer, he doesn’t enter, but Brown gets a rebound. The Whites have a chance for a triple … and they also miss. The stubborn defense of Golden State and Curry scored in their next reign.
Oh, that’s a good sequence for whites to dive in and take out a foul on the greens. He makes his free throw to complete the old-fashioned three-point game.
If I ran the Celtics, I would just always tell them that the board is wrong and they are playing with a 10 point deficit.
Warriors 47-56 Celtics, 4:27, Second Quarter
And Smart throws the ball and Curry makes them call with their own three. Just when you thought the Celtics understood their problems, they suffered a breakdown in defense and a reversal after two missed free throws, and instead of a potential 19-point lead, it’s a nine-point lead.
Boston with the necessary waiting time.
Warriors 47-56 Celtics, 4:44, second quarter
Horford is on the line with free throws. He misses … both? Many free points have remained on the line so far, we have to see if this match is close enough to be a factor. Still, they remain kind.
And Thompson hit another three. It can be said that he has returned and will be a problem. Finally, the Warriors get consistent results, with Wiggins scoring.
This fast-paced sequence was more like Game 1. I’m not sure if that’s what the Warriors wanted to hear, given how they did it.
Warriors 39-56 Celtics, 5:31, second quarter
Looney takes his second foul. Tatum finds Smart an alley. Poole does the laying. Tatum hit a three. Many things happen, but Warriors can’t find a breakup.
Poole hit another three. He may not be the secret weapon here.
But, of course, Tatum scores instantly to answer. Luni commits a new foul and the Celtics announce a time-out.
Warriors 34-49 Celtics, 7:03, second quarter
The entire Warriors violation appears to be on the free throw line this quarter. Wiggins comes out on the line, hitting one of two. And there is a twist … Smart throws the ball carelessly and leaves Wiggins to score. It would be rude if…
Well, if the Celtics do not continue to compensate for these mistakes: Tatum hit his first three in the match.
Warriors 31-46 Celtics, 8:12, second quarter
Tatum was rightly called for a shooting foul, his first, but the crowd disagreed and joined in the awkward chanting of discontent. Wiggins hit both of his free throws. Rob Williams scores again, right under the basket and looks much healthier.
Warriors 29-44 Celtics, 8:48, second quarter
Robert Williams is called for a foul on something that looks like a pretty clean block. That’s the way it is. Thompson, of course, is automatic today, so he hit both of his free throws. You’d think it would be a moment of momentum, but again, the Celtics aren’t giving them a quarter. Derrick White with laying.

Warriors 27-42 Celtics, 9:26, second quarter
Grant Williams gets a foul and jaws with Green. I’ve watched this show before. Thompson scores again: these are four in a row. However, Boston continues to respond to every blow of the Warriors. In this case it’s Peyton Pritchard, in the game and hit a three.
Warriors 25-39 Celtics, 9:51, second quarter
The Celtics audience welcomed Green’s first foul of the evening. He expected a lot of that. Tatum misses a three-pointer, but the Celtics provide a rebound. The chances of a second chance are great: Williams wins this one with another result.
However, Thompson seems to be warming up after a difficult start to the series. He knocked down a three-pointer, but on the other hand, Williams Robert scored the whole Golden State.
Warriors 22-35 Celtics, 11:37, second quarter
Grant Williams is in the game and scores immediately to start the second for the Celtics.
@HunterFelt re: “Good shot, don’t be cheeky”, you will surely be a little shocked if Name Udoka quotes Star Wars to his players, no matter how relevant the quote is?
– Defender of Homelessness (@Roscommon_Cat) June 9, 2022
It is illegal not to be able to cite Star Wars in every potential situation in 21st century America. We all need to know this.
Warriors 22-33 Celtics, end of the first quarter
The Celtics swarmed Looney to prevent him from scoring, but that defense was nil thanks to Clay Thompson, who hit a three-pointer. However, Brown answers him with one of his own. That’s 17 points in the first quarter for Brown. White lifted his second foul with just 6.3 left in the first quarter. Thompson hit both of his free throws to make a slightly disturbing finish for the near-perfect quarter. Their lead is 11 points and it looks like it would be more against your average team.
Warriors are not average. It will be a long match.
Warriors 17-30 Celtics, 1:46, first quarter
White rushes to bankrupt Gary Peyton II to prevent easy laying. It’s a big effort, but Peyton still makes both free throws.
Warriors 15-30 Celtics, 2:00, First Quarter
Poole is called for a foul. Smart enters the line and this time hits both his freebies. Curry scores here right away.
Then Smart hits Brown for a dunk: that’s 14 points for him, and maybe this Warriors mini-run isn’t coming.
Warriors 13-26 Celtics, 3:48, first quarter
Moons crashing out of timeout. Exactly what you want to see as a head coach. There is also Jordan Poole in the game. I wouldn’t be shocked by the mini-Warriors running here.
I don’t know, I have a feeling that these matches don’t even start until the third quarter.
Wait, wait, that doesn’t mean you stop reading! This means continuing to read this to the end. I want to emphasize that whatever you do, you must always pay attention to me.
Warriors 11-26 Celtics, 3:48, first quarter
White does the laying. Steph Curry hits a jumper to try to get the Warriors to leave, but Horford – mostly invisible on Sunday – scores and this will force the Warriors to take a timeout.
warriors …
