GS needs someone like an Ayton or Myles Turner, who both can do damage in the paint both on offense and defense. Turner can even stretch thr floor. And at the very least Ayton or Turner would be able to alter shots much better than any big they got rn.

Tbvh, Looney is best as a backup big.

wiseman is going to be that guy or at least have the opportunity
rebound, defend the paint, catch lobs, and hit an occasional three

Boston will have a bad turnover game again. It's what they do.

And Steph can obviously go off in any game.

Whatever else happens in between those things is hard to tell

Warriors are a bad turnover team too though. If Bob Williams is healthy enough to guard the PnR like he did in the 4th, then yea. Way less likely to see Steph go off.
 
This thread isn’t good enough. We gotta get mustier.

Dray has no choice but to play much better.

I think the biggest problem is this: At no point should Dray be playing center unless Grant Williams is playing center.

Dray is bbq chicken extra burnt on defense if he has to guard Horford or Timelord at the 5 and BOS is playing Grant, Tatum, Brown, and Smart.

dubs can’t afford to have dray chasing horford on closeouts because it brings him out the paint. they need him to be gang rebounding. celtics did a great job of switching him off jaylen and forcing him to guard a shooter on the perimeter. those offensive rebounds killed the dubs.

but that’s not only on dray. dubs as a team showed minimal effort on the glass
 
Can't count on the warriors role players to handle the pressure of a must win finals game on the road. They'll play better in game 5. Then dubs getting washed in 6

No doubt. And when Dray gets drawn out to the three point line to guard Al, there's no other big I thr paint to rebound. THIS ALONE should be reason to go 2-bigs at all times no matter who is on the floor for the Celtics. There are more pros than cons as long as Kerr using the right 2-Big Combo on the floor depending on the matchups.

That's why for the life of me I can't figure out why Kerr isn't utilizing Bjelica and Kuminga in more 2-Big lineups. A 2-Big Warrior lineup serves two purposes - one, to give you better rebounding and paint protection. Two, you get weak side bigs attacking the offensive boards, which you need when you constantly shoot threes (long rebounds) so you get 2nd chance opportunities as well as easy dump off buckets when guards penetrate.

Warriors don't sacrifice any offensive firepower or floor spacing with 2 big lineups because with Steph, Klay, and Wiggins/Poole/Otto you still have plenty of shot makers and guys who constantly move without the ball to create spacing.

Kerr needs to realize this and wake up otherwise GS could be down 1-3 before they know it.
