Meh. Boston fans suck, but you employ a player whose objective is to annoy, instigate, harass, and talk shit beyond the reasonable pale...what do you expect?

Boston streets have way more tough guys than the people who occupy the mostly corporate owned seats in the lower bowl. 

My first time in, I went Boston for a beer convention back in 2012, and on the way to the hotel to check in, we were stopped at a crosswalk. The light turned green, but cars weren't moving, then two drivers go out of their cars yelling at each other in typical Bahstun accents the most stereotypical lines from a movie, "Hey why ya following me?? You want a piece of this???" "YEAH I DO!!!" Punches commence. Random people on the sidewalk break it up. Guys go back to their cars and speed off. I could see those guys treating visiting fans poorly.

Fantastic kicker. Gave me a good chuckle. Thanks for sharing.

Game 4 starts in 30 minutes, I'm expecting GS to win this handily, then go back to San Francisco for a pivotal game 5.  If I were betting, I would go hard on GS money line.  I hope I'm wrong.

I never understand going for that swipe that curry did on Tatum. If he hits a contested fadeaway so what, better than you already having a foul

[Incredulity 11664]

“Fuck you Draymond”

lol

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Draymond is terrible 

[LTtxfan 49170]

Curry keeping GSW in game -- Boston better win tonight or warriors gonna steal a championship away from celtics.

like taking candy from a baby...

[CurlyDumps 4471]

Fuck the Warriors if they lose this game and ruin the finals.

[LTtxfan 49170]

Gonna be a toughness battle in last 9 minutes.  

Tied at 86

[LTtxfan 49170]

JAYLEN BROWN SHOW !!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉,

The most overrated player in NBA history.  In the old NBA, he'd be tossed around like a rag doll.  Neither tall, big, or physical.  He's as big as Michael Jordan was.

 In the new NBA, not particularly skilled.  If not for being surrounded by some of the greatest skill players ever, might not make a roster.  I'm not saying he sucks, but he's not HOF and he'll be in the HOF.

97-94 warriors lead    under 4 min left

GSW still in position to steal this game because celtics not putting them away.

8pt turnaround in 4th Qtr by GSW

Good stuff.

[Message Board User 12395]

Warriors making their run...as soon as Draymond sits.

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Looked like a clear travel by Curry after recovering the attempted steal by Smart. He picks up the ball, then shuffles back with both feet behind the 3 point line before dribbling. BUT Highlights!

[CurlyDumps 4471]

The Celtics MVP has checked back into the game!

[LTtxfan 49170]

celtics struggling to score over last 3-4 minutes while GSW efficient on offensive end including offensive rebounding... 

[LTtxfan 49170]

celtics throwing up multiple bricks from 3pt line...  

Curry possibly with a dagger 3

100 - 94.     1:35 left

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Celtics aren't even trying to get to the rim. Just scared all around, only Marcus Smart seems confident in his shot, and well, he probably shouldn't be that confident...

[Stringer 1438]

Why the fuck is Boston just jacking up 3’s. You’re down 3. Calm down.

And there goes Steph being Steph. What a player. Going to miss him when he’s gone.

[kingkoopa6 8347]

SIAP. Dell got a new piece ?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

the man we love to hate, Dray, gets the biggest Off rebound of the game. 

upthread Dutch called a Dub win tonight and nailed it. C's are bad at home.  This was the series and Celtics choked.  Probably goes 7 i guess. 

[CurlyDumps 4471]

Did I just see Dave dumbfuck Portnoy sitting front row?

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

didn't look like a foul, straight up by Horford and Curry stuck his elbow into the torso.

Yeah, celtics really lost their focus on offense in the 4th quarter.  Championship heart has carried GSW to this likely win tonight...

Curry freakin' amazing...

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Awful foul call there on Horford. Curry clearly pushed off him and flopped on the failed layup. Should be Celtics ball down 5, but now Curry gets 2 free points, and pretty much seals the game.

I always thought the winner of this game wins the series. Celtics really had a chance to take huge control. And now it's about to be tied with 2 of the next 3 in GSW. 

Boston absolutely choked in the 4th. And jacking up 3s when only down 3.

Yep - the moment was too big for them.  Tatum completely disappeared.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

splash bros came up huge, and keep in mind they don't have Wiseman a true big.  They could win 65 next year if no injuries. 

[Dutchrudder 11137]

Holy shit, the Celtics challenged that call and LOST????  If Horford isn't allowed to jump up and contest a fucking layup like that, then nobody should be allowed to play defense. What a fucking joke of a call.

Saw this coming when celtics could not separate and get a double digit lead at any point tonight. The celtics blew this game -- GSW did not play well tonight but their toughness won this game.

It wouldn't be GSW if they aren't playing by different rules. Their entire offensive system starting in the 2014-15 season was predicated on getting away with moving screens all game which teams had no way to stop (hence why they are illegal). And Draymond gets to play like a linebacker out there. 

[immamac 42839]

Bumping cuz these series is littttt

[Aqua Buddha 14588]

Steph needs to move up on the GOAT list.

Green needs to move down on the "great" list.  Not "great" but topeline "good."

[Message Board User 12395]

He's right ya know

Fantastic game. Curry is a witch. Best shooter ever. Completely ridiculous.

First possession of the 2nd half, down by 5 with the need to keep Boston from extending the lead, dude hits a 22' on-purpose bank shot 2. Like, who the fuck does that?

[Reynolds Woodcock 4739]

Curry has been outrageous in these finals. He might end up getting the LeBron 2017-18 treatment where an incendiary individual performance is outmatched by a better team, but fuck it’s impressive to watch. He’s doing this against probably the best all around defensive team in the league. 

[Kermit 3156]

I’m on vacation, surrounded by Warriors fans. They’re passing Lakers fans in obnoxiousness by the second. Aggie, I’m pretty sure you’re the only one of these douchebags I like. 

[alincoln 2371]

Poole was huge

[Loch Ness Monster 3533]

Steph doing this against the #1 defense in the league is crazy impressive.

Wiggins was great

Looney was great

Klay was Ok

Poole had his moments

Draymond was ass again

[HookEm 2467]

Draymond is key to keeping the ball moving, setting screens, tipping offensive rebounds, etc.  Swap him with a black hole of a big like Myles Turner and the Warriors are much worse off.

[aggie08 21496]

Dray has been ass, my dude, but let's tap the brakes for a hot minute. Had he not missed 30 games due to injury, he wins DPOY going away. He's been a half step slow since coming back for a dude that doesn't have a half step to give to top tier NBA talent.

Boston is a terrible matchup for Golden State, and Draymond in particular. Their ability to seamlessly switch all the off ball actions has really hindered their ball movement and cutting , where Draymond thrives. So they're basically running the "Steph, do something!" offense with Dray just taking up space.

Combine that with being scared shitless of trying to get up a layup with any of Williams/Horford/Brown/Tatum in his field of view, and you get a truly ugly performance. He'll be better at home.

You act like he was drafted by some juggernaut. Golden State was just a cute also-ran led by a scrawny dude with brittle ankles. It's not a coincidence that their rise coincided with Draymond being inserted into the starting lineup. He allows them to play how they want offensively, without sacrificing defense. I love me some Klay, but, in non-KD years, Dray has consistently been their 2nd best player. The chemistry and two man game between he and Steph isn't replaceable.
