I'm one who am not a fan of 3 balls but as they say, it's in the league to stay and Brad as coach followed the bandwagon. It's hard to beat a team that rains a barrage of 3s, because even if you score you are still down by 1 and so on as the permutation goes. The after show analysts keep hyping that 17-0 run as an offensive avalanche which is rightfully so, but few mentioned the 5 or 6 Warrior possessions that were greatly contested by the octopus arms of the Celtics. Many times they would deflect a lob pass like they do in volleyball, causing a turnover, and a few blocks happened too during the course of the game, and even center Robert Williams would dive for the ball despite his knee soreness. These are signs of 'hunger' and the will to win a game. Robert Williams' improvement this year is a big factor in the C's success this second half of the season. He reminds me of DeAndre Jordan in his prime, has a fantastic wing span and can jump like those on a pogo stick. A very integral part of the C's defense. As I mentioned, reading all the pundits say Curry will win the MVP and hence a Warriors impending title victory made me 'not believe' that the C's can beat the Warriors in 7 games, as these are all 'experts' and even Vegas' odds are for a Warriors title. So far the only one bullish is a very biased Perk. It's not about analytics, but simply because we worn the green jersey before. The guy is getting to be very talkative, another 'improvement'.
