The Celtics did what I thought they needed to do - go inside more - and they ended up dominating on the glass and in paint scoring. It's a little baffling to me why Looney only got 17 minutes when even I could predict what the C's would be doing in Game 3.
The Warriors have started games slow all season long, including the playoffs. If they are to win any more games in the series, they have to start the first quarter like they play 3rd quarters. Don't want to hear about "halftime adjustments." It's time to start games with intensity and be the aggressor from the jump. If they can't do that, not only will they not win, they won't deserve to win.
It looked for about 5 minutes like Game 3 we would FINALLY give us down to the wire suspense, and a last two minutes that takes 10 to play, but the W's decided to go soft once again after they got the lead, and we once again have a double digit margin for the winner. So much for the old NBA axiom about just needing to watch the last 5 minutes of a game. These days, if you miss the first 43 minutes, it's already been decided.
The only bright side for W's is Klay Thompson getting his mojo back a bit. I'm not fretting over Curry's foot like many W's fan will, and think he'll be fine. It's the other guys on the team not named Curry that are my concern.
