Boston didn't have the offensive firepower to hang with the Warriors. Both teams are excellent defensively. Warriors had the offensive edge. People were expecting Tatum to be more than what he is. He’s an above average NBA player, but not the guy who’s good enough to take over a series and win it for his team. He’s a 2, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the entire game, when I turned it on in the 3rd the Celtics got every call and non-call for about 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going into the series I think most people would have ranked the players like this: 1. Steph 2. Tatum 3. Brown 4. Smart 5. Horford That is why people thought Boston had a good shot to win. The Warriors were the veteran YMCA team that worked a bunch of young guns coming to a gym. Being a TWolves fan, I can't get over Wiggins. Dude is in the perfect situation and downright humbled Tatum. It was the type of elite level defense everyone knew he had in him, but it had never come together for him mentally. He was easily the second best player for Golden State.

I give most credit to Wiggins for that, but whoof. His decision making was bad and he got into his own head. Boston desperately needed a floor general. Marcus Smart is the defensive player of the year... and rightfully so. I think he is maximizing his offensive game, but it is hard to see him being the lead PG on a title team.
