Stephen Curry aims to top Michael Jordan as ‘greatest of all time’

Has Boston done enough to get over the hump?

The broadcast averaged 823,000 total viewers, was the network’s most-viewed game of the season and its fourth most watched regular season game of all-time.

And now we’re here. The Warriors were pushed into overtime by the Brooklyn Nets, eventually winning the game, 107-99. “They have good individual defenders on this team”. Boston, on the other hand, has been a bit Jekyl & Hyde. “It’s not. We have to go out there and continue to play the right way like we’ve been”. What is relatively nouveau to the league, they have put the time in to ideal.

The Celtics may not be caught up in the hype and may be approaching this like any other game, but they will certainly have to raise the bar because this is unlike any other challenge they have faced this season. But the Warriors’ roster is full of team first players who routinely sacrifice individual numbers for team success.

The Warriors are a juggernaut with a thirst for winning that is rarely seen in defending champions. “Their attention to detail is great”. We’ll just have to stretch that bench a little more thin to get both Thompson and Harrison Barnes back to 100%. From what I have seen out of Green, he is playing similar to LeBron James without the offensive repertoire James has, although Green is averaging a respectable 12.9 points per game substantial for the team he is on. Lee believes they have the tools to do so. “[The Warriors] are playing great as a team right now but we can’t go out there thinking like this is the championship. I think they want to ride this thing out as long as they can”. Curry is shooting 52.7 percent from the field, 46.8 percent from the three point line and 93.2 percent from the free throw line, he is also is third in the league in steals with 2.3 per game. After Klay Thompson hurt his ankle against the Indiana Pacers, it was a question of whether or not he would be able to suit up against Boston on Friday. Even if everybody was healthy, the Celtics would have made it hard.

The Warriors are continuing their push into league history and we, the basketball fans, have bought into them because, man, are they fun to watch. “We all say God has a way for you and a objective for you”, said Iguodala, after receiving the 2015 NBA Finals MVP. He’s the focal point of their offense.

The Celtics have excelled at perimeter defense this season, thanks in part to tenacious defenders Avery Bradley and Jae Crowder.
