Patrick Beverley: You’re wrong if you think the Celtics can beat the Warriors in the Finals | Get Up 

Yep I came back to mark the spot.

I'm here 🔥

@Oil Uj ye and the warriors exploited that and destroyed them

I'm here because a lot of hater's a lot of analyst is always bitter salty about the warriors.thats why the Celtics choke 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 they take his own medicine!!!!

@starsandcats17 I don't see anyone beating them next year, do you, except if they are decimated again by injuries.

Not only that all 4 L's they scored under 100 not just 5&6

4 ,5 & 6 in a row and all 4 wins they held Boston under 100.

I always figured it would come down to whether or not Boston could score on Golden State.

For anyone to beat a team like the Boston Celtics not twice, but three times in a row?! That’s the real story here, I think. Once the Dubs felt like they’re back was against the wall they flat out went off!!

Steph said after they lost game 1 that they scored 108 points and that 108 should be "more than enough" to win these games..., I laughed at the time but...🤷‍♂️

And only 0.2 PPG worse than the Celtics, to boot. He's talking heads pretending it's a great Celtics defense against the great warriors offense missed the fact that it's essentially two equal defenses clashing, with one predictable comment stagnant, hero ball offense on the Celtic side and an erratic but, given Steph Curry, potentially brilliant offense on the other side. Anybody who failed to predict the outcome wasn't paying attention.

@MrBrachiatingApe either they are truly casuals or they are getting paid to speak nonsense.

But how about the wrong, company is always right for putting where you are

The media been down playing Steph his whole career

@DC and will continue to like a bunch of old heads, as soon as curry makes a mistake, he is not a superstar, he can't carry a team, he is not top 10

@starsandcats17 for sure I agree every time steph accomplishes something I always hear skip bringing up 2016 and 2019

made the cameraman holler

😂😂😂

🤣

🤣🤣🤣

He is right man's need to stop smoking

They better, their road to the finals was easy as cake

@MMA here we go 🙄

@MMA heat-no joel first 2 games Celtics-no kris middleton suns-no zion bucks-no lavine memphis-no gp2 mavs-no gp2 (Jamal Murr n Wiseman cancel each other out cause dey been out for hella long) but you get da point every team has played teams wit a vital peice missing y’all js love suckin on da warriors😭

@MMA hilarious and lazy take

@MMA 🤣🤡

And their defense for the first few months was tied for the greatest differential Vs League average in history, with the Dubs allowing something like 9 fewer points than the average defense, iirc, tired for 2004 Pistons (again iirc).

8

Indeed: Pretty sure that for the whole season, the Warriors with all their players had a better defense than the Celtics with all their players. Given that the Warriors in the Finals had all their players, THAT is the defense the Celtics were up against. They were up against the Warriors with Green, not the (#2 by an inch) average of the Warriors with and without Green.

Big Facts

3rd

*Klay

Cuz everyone seems totally lost and unaware of the fact that GS was the No.1 defensive team until Draymond got injured and they ended up 2nd in defense.

Get his name right casual it’s *Klay* with a K

Tuff matchups for gsw

Its funny you say that because its that exact reason why people have acknowledged its a favorable matchup for Boston defensively. GSW style of play is vulnerable to the Celtics because of their excellent perimeter defense. Celtics will have DPOY Marcus Smart on Curry, and they can use Derrick White as well another really good defender. Jayson Tatum and Robert Williams are long enough that they can straight up block 3 point attempts. Celtics don't need to double team the splash bros, they aren't physically dangerous enough to deserve it like Giannis and KD did. They're better off leaving it a 1 on 1 and making sure guys aren't getting open looks. If Curry makes tough shots you live with that, but you don't live with giving up wide 3s.

Who has golden state truly beaten ?

dont the heat actively share the ball

@Based Celtic the team that beat the #1 team in the league... and also beat the #1 offense team in the league(Mav)...

I don’t want Celtics to get there 33 championship as a unit lol nd definitely rooting for warriors since they are in the bay nd I’ve watched ‘em for years I want steph to get the FMvp he deserves and want to see those other guys get a ring in the warriors organization

I don't see Warriors losing at home, so Warriors in 6 or 7.

@ZaImanity lol how do you feel now?

@Aristotle Himself How do YOU feel?

@MannyYo 😂 Fair enough. Watch out for next year though.

They’re the highest paid team in the league this should happen.

And also Mark Jackson built this team's core and enforced defense

Except Jordan and the Bulls didn't choke a 3-1 lead

@Rule34Kefla he didn’t build this core. Draymon was coming off the bench until David lee got hurt during Steve Kerr tenure.

@KaiserReb Which was the right move at the time with David Lee being a good part of the rebuild. He definitely instilled the defensive mind frame into them and even Draymomd admitted that Kerr finished what Mark started on one of his podcast.

You ain’t a Celtics fan 🤦‍♂️

@Mark simpson I'm a realist. The Warriors are a really good team and are playing great basketball. The celtics are inconsistent on offense. Been a fan since 06 so good try

@Mark simpson at all 😂😂 they always say they are, to throw folks off

fake fan

Pat is the new ESPN

They wasn’t your buddies then bro. If I took an L from my boy, I’ll embrace it and admit my defeat.

You need better buddies

Then they’re haters, plain and simple

@Adriaan J they eventually admitted defeat lol

@DREPR0787 prideful bballers lol

I use to dread him on the court...now I love the guy! Smart funny and totally entertaining!

Just needed to dress up a little nicer

On the flip side just like warriors can be a bit careless so can the Celtics. The biggest issue for them is Tatum and Brown turning the ball over. GS will definitely get out. GS is not going to shoot how Miami will shoot. GS already showed size won’t be an issue with Memphis and Dallas. Let’s see how it goes.

Don't forget that in every series they have played the Celtics have had just as many injury issues as their opponents They have had to pay games without Rob Williams, Marcus Smart and Al Horford and have made it this far despite those injuries. My bigger concern with Boston (as a Celtics fan) is that I just don't know if they can play consistently enough to beat the warriors. Boston seem to come out to play every second game, and up until this point that's been enough to get them by. But I don't think that will cut it against the Warriors. Boston need to pay like they really want it, and they need to do that every night

Celtics played better teams in the playoffs then GS, plus Memphis or Dallas size are not close to the Celtics athletic and size. I just want a great 7 games of basketball. I think this series gets out of hand if the Celtics pick on curry and Poole, both of them are liability on defense plus I also think draymond needs to come up big this series. On the other hand Celtics just need to play their brand of basketball and limit turnovers, GS is known for being sloppy with the ball.

Gs played a nuggets team with no jamaal Murray and mpj, most of the series with no ja Morant, and a luka led mavs team who’s second best player was jalen Brunson. GS had a 10x easier path to the finals. How did the Celtics have the easier path?

Tf u talking about a longer leash? Y’all played the worst team in playoffs, then played a Ja-less grizzlies and ALMOST LOST, and then a trash mavericks squad. On the other hand the Celtics have had by far the toughest route to the finals

VC played for every team but he never played for a super team to chase championship

Oh man he’s such a savage my god, the fact that he said that my god he’s an og, my god he’s just the best

@Ryantheman21 wish this was sarcasm

@Rfinesse mines was his not

yup, these conf games have been awful to watch

Definitely won’t see a blow out. But it will be some low scoring games. Both teams gonna have to win in the paint.

@varunaX the heat and celtics series has only been awful to watch if you're obsessed with score and have a shrunken frontal lobe. The defense has been great to watch, and both teams are putting it all out there, even if they do get blown out

Facts all we want is a good competitive finals

Y’all really counting out the Heat huh ???

Too much! 🤣🤣 1:10 🧪🚽

😅😅

Yeah get those boys in their with their drug test equipment because somebody on some serious drugs. Pat Bev just cracks me up 😂😂😂.

What were results of drug test

the heat are super injured bruh and i had the c’s winning it too

@vm celtics were injured too so

@vm Celtics are extremely banged up too. Zero excuses

@thekingbradable herro and butler is pretty much 65% of their offense. there’s a reason brown can only score 12 and still have a 20 point blowout . celtics are deeper

@vm I was told the Heat were deeper coming into the series. Herro wasn't doing anything when he was healthy. Butler isn't that great of a scorer. He's pretty mid when he isn't getting freethrows. If those guys are your best source of offense, you weren't going to win anyway.

Yeah. It’s like they could prop up players who might have deals with certain shoe company.

Not only were they wrong, the officiating was atrociously biased in the final 2 rounds as if to support them. Something fishy

@Baller Doge Nike got billion dollar deals with the NBA. Steph ain’t Nike

Bingo

@The J1 that make so much sense now what they don't like the chef.

They had the easiest path in years

​@Saanntttt Don't cry please

You only talk about the 1st loser when comparing them to other losers, not when comparing them to the number 1.

and whos number 1

@Conor Nichols depending on which stats you use they are either 1 or 2 or tied. Only one team missed their defensive player of the candidate for 35 games though…

James Wiseman ain’t play key basketball since last season I don’t think they’re counting on Wiseman

James Wiseman hasn’t played in a year..? Do you even watch basketball?

@Ramon Newell he literally played a game this season and got hurt right after he played in the G League, do YOU watch basketball?

@Declan Smith he literally hasn’t played a game all year.. Feel free to use google before embarrassing yourself..

@Declan Smith he has... but he dont need to score just focus on rebound and lobs If I was him.

He's got a bias of who gave him nightmares and who didn't, that's a fair bias

He looks 50 in the thumbnail

Indeed is a great analyst.

He was right and played extensively against the Warriors/Steph

They ended up with a small difference but the celtics had a bad start and made trades and moves that made the defense even better after January

Well, you were right, Puck.💙💛

If they finish it up quick. Celtics are growing at an alarming rate and they rise to the occasion. In order to beat them these teams needed to put them away quickly but they have all failed to do that. The Warriors will need to rely on Green's distribution and the fact that they have several weapons. The Celtics can shutdown 2 or 3 top-tier players but the Warriors will have a decent 4th option with almost any line up.

@Daniel Thompson is still

@Daniel Thompson can they shut down looney or poole

YOU BET!! IT DID

That means you don't know about basketball! Warriors might sweep the Boston squad easily

@Rich Kid u don’t know basketball lmao went 6 against an injured Memphis and think u gonna sweep Boston lmao

If we're talking about upper edge its the warriors no doubt. 5 yrs of final appearances is a whole new level of experience and upper edge.

@Rich Kid in my opinion it is a matchup of Premium offense+ above average defense vs premium defense + above average offense .. history will tell you what happens if there is defensive edge

Celtic will be spanked

😂😂😂

💀💀💀

😭

fr like they're good but their offense is amd inconsistent. only reason theyre up is cause of miami's injuries and the ridiculous free throw differential. they shot 39% from the field and 23% from three last game. their defense is ridiculous but their offense isnt good enough

That’s fair. But to think the #1 defense in the league has no chance in the Finals is a joke. I don’t see why predicting them to have a chance to beat the Warriors equates to the 72-10 Bulls. No one is saying they’re gonna dominate the Warriors.

They almost did in game 3.

Truth

They tried.

You think they aren't smh

@RonWash52 I think they need to make sure not to make careless turnovers and be careful with the ball especially if the Celtics win.

@Picasso Julien Warriors make careless turnover and still win. Warriors in 5 vs Heat

@GoldenState Giants 4

Lol he might be right about the Heat😂

Crazies sometimes are actually smart and logical because that's what make them crazies.

@reptilexcq2 thats deep

@reptilexcq2 Well well well... 💁‍♂️

I would love to see a boxing match between Pat and Stephen A Smith.

It's insulting to say he's like either of them.

curious what could make anyone think Perkins is even a halfway decent sports analyst

good take

I think that they can beat them shooting under 40% from the floor. Celtics have caused poor performances to elite offensive talent already.

@Test Test case in point: talent, not talents.

Obviously, Celtics are not the better team. And consistency is not an afterthought. It's a hallmark of a great team, which is the GS Warriors.

@Diane Moonstone Celtics we’re very consistent. They performed poorly against GSW but they’ve gotten better and deeper

Its the New England overkill : Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics....I would admire except they are in their own vacuum like it's a given...NOPE -THE BAY has had the 49ers dynastic run, the SF Giants won 3 WS in a stretch of 6 yrs and now the Dubs.

Warriors in 5

Celtics in 6!

Celtics in 6

Dubs in 4

@King Kobra lol gam6 klay exist

This. People get swept by the narrative that Celtics' D can and will stop the Warriors' elite offense. Many teams have managed to slow it down, those team lost too. Not acknowledging the fact that they also have to score against a top-3 defense. It seems that they are making it out like GSW offense will whittle and die from Boston's defense. 🤣

@Jeremy oh so Kyrie wasn’t there, and a very good korver and love just don’t exist 💀

KD was still on the warriors for those season in 17’ and 18’ but now they’re still beatable but I got Gsw in 6

lol... they need a lot gas to fight the warriors.

Okay and? 🥶

What😂
