Warriors flexing all the way to Boston for Game 3 vs Celtics

Between Curry's pyrotechnics and Green's bullying, Celtics fans have a lot to be worried about as the series shifts back to their homecourt.

Have we seen the home team go 1-1 in the first two games of the NBA Finals and still somehow retain all the momentum? Apparently that’s where the Golden State Warriors are right now against the Boston Celtics.

Maybe it’s because the Dubs needed only three quarters to destroy the Celts in Game 2, one game after blowing a double-digit lead in the fourth quarter of Game 1. Or maybe it’s because of how terrifying Stephen Curry has been during these NBA Finals. So far Unanimous is averaging 31.5 PPG, 5.5 REB, 4.5 AST, 3 STL on 45% shooting, 46% (!) from 3PT range hahahahahaha

Golden State Warriors @warriors

29 PTS | 6 REB | 4 AST @StephenCurry30 had himself a night ⚡️

Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA

Steph Curry breaking this C's defense in a way we haven't seen yet this postseason. He's incredible.

Or maybe it’s because the national conversation appears to be how Draymond Green is out here punking Boston and no one can stop him:

Ros Gold-Onwude @ROSGO21

Draymond Green controlled this game. Stats won’t tell that whole story. But he emotionally controlled the entire Game 2 of the NBA Finals.

Molly Morrison @mollyhannahm

every game draymond dares to ask the question, how far can i go without getting tossed from the game

Kendrick Perkins @KendrickPerkins

One thing I respect about Draymond is that he talked his shit and backed it up tonight. His impact on the game was way bigger than some box score!!! Carry the hell on…

Anna Horford @AnnaHorford

If Draymond can’t outplay an opponent, he simply resorts to playing dirty 🤮

That’s hella funny that we’ve reached that same part of the narrative we had when the Cavaliers and the Rockets were in emotional histrionics over how Dray was stomping over their souls. It’s also curious because Celtics Nation, a fanbase that has historically employed blue-collar antagonists like Kevin Garnett and Cedric Maxwell, seem to be verrrry agitated by how Draymond bullied the life out of them in Game 2.

Celtics on NBC Sports Boston @NBCSCeltics

"I love this opportunity the Celtics have because [the Warriors] are 'tuxedo players', they don't want to be touched." @cedricmaxwell81 breaks down why the Celtics "absolutely" can beat the Warriors in the NBA Finals 😤

TUXEDO PLAYERS HUH? So coming in to the Finals, we were supposed to believe that the Warriors were soft and Boston was supposed to be the physical team, right? Hmmmmm…

SportsCenter @SportsCenter

Jaylen Brown says he felt like Draymond Green tried to pull his pants down.

KNBR @KNBR

Celtics great Cedric Maxwell gave Gary Payton some good, old-fashioned trash talking after Game 2. MAXWELL: "That s**t Draymond Green was doing? In the 80s he would've got knocked the f**k out!" 😳 🎥 @CLNSMedia

Grant Liffmann @GrantLiffmann

Watching an opposing team and their fan base get the Draymond experience for a playoff series is always hilarious

After the brilliant way the Dubs responded after their Game 1 defeat, I’m starting to wonder if this series will be less like the underdog 2004 Pistons upsetting the Shaq-Kobe-Malone-Payton Lakers in 5 games after stealing the first game…and more like the dynastic 2001 Shaq-Kobe Lakers steamrolling the Allen Iverson 76ers in 5 Games after A.I. stole the show in Game 1.

Our guy Apricot also mentioned Magic’s Lakers stealing Game 1 and homecourt against Jordan’s Bulls in 1991 before Chicago won 4 straight to take their first title under Phil Jackson. Damn the Lakers have been apart of a lot of Finals where the home team loses the first game, eh?

I hope Dub Nation appreciates the opportunity the Warriors have. Their Western Conference rivals are scrambling to keep their pieces together before the sands of time run out on them…

NBACentral @TheNBACentral

DeAndre Ayton has likely played his last game in a Suns’ uniform, per @johnhollinger “Sources tell The Athletic that it’s “more likely than not” that Ayton plays somewhere other than Phoenix next season.” (h/t @TheAthleticNBA )

Or flipping coaches in desperate attempts to maximize the allegedly elite talent on their rosters…

Rudy Gobert @rudygobert27

Forever grateful for Quin. Gave me a chance 8 years ago and believed in me when not a lot of people did. And helped our team grow into a Western conference powerhouse through all the ups and downs. Wishing you nothing but the best in your next chapter!🙏🏽🔮🙏🏽

Utah Jazz @utahjazz

From the fans, the ownership group and the organization: Thank you, Coach 💛 https://t.co/19uu9BhrSd

(Wait did Rudy just call the Jazz a Western Conference POWERHOUSE?! If they are a powerhouse what the heck are the Warriors? A POWERMANSION?).

At the end of the day, we can be pleased that our squad is not only hunting for a 4th championship in 8 years, but that we’re totally infuriating a fanbase that roots for a historically legendary franchise.

Emergency Press Conference - I Hate The Warriors

I THOUGHT BOSTON FANS HAD SEEN IT ALL?! I guess they’ve never seen Steph and Dray in title mode; they’re getting an eyeful now. HOW YA FEELING HEADING INTO BEANTOWN DUB NATION!?!?!?
