A lot of NBA fans have the Warriors vs. the Celtics as their projected NBA Finals matchup and Saturday night’s game in Boston gave us a preview of what that might look like if the Celtics emerge in the East.
Boston will be challenged to get out of the East given what we see from Toronto, Milwaukee and perhaps Philadelphia. So we’ll have to see if they can get there. But in this game we saw a Boston team which pushed Golden State to the brink, but couldn’t make the plays when they had to down the stretch. My feeling is if the Warriors stay healthy there won’t be any team in the East or West who pushes them to a Game 7 this post season.
The Warriors were and should be even more with DeMarcus Cousins on a basketball planet of their own. The only team which can beat Golden State is….Golden State. Period.
The Warriors with Curry, Durant, and Thompson combine three of the best shooters the game has ever seen on the same team.
I don’t see a team in the West who can hang with them when the Warriors focus and put on their serious game faces.
We’re watching basketball excellence. A team on another plane which is not only talented, but is well coached and still hungry and plays with an edge when they need an edge.
It was a great game to watch, but in reality we all knew how it was going to end.
Tenth win a row for the streaking Warriors who own the NBA….the West, the East, and everything in between.
