NBA Finals. Draymond Green doesn’t expect any changes
Draymond Green believes the Warriors and Celtics know each other well enough that there won’t be many tactical changes as the series moves forward. “When you get to this point in the season, you can’t make a lot of changes,” the veteran said the day before Game 5 (live at 3 p.m.). DAZN:)
The Celtics know who the Warriors are, but the other way around. “We’re not reinventing the wheel anymore, the board isn’t changing, neither is the staff. You have to understand that and make the most of your opportunities.”
On the other hand, Grant Williams still sees a lot of room for improvement in his team. “. This has been the big difference so far, even if the series is balanced. “We can still improve in that regard.”
In the Game 4 loss, the Celtics committed 16 turnovers, which Golden State turned into 19 straight points (but Boston also used the Warriors’ turnovers for 17 points). Boston has won just one of seven playoff games in which it has allowed at least 15 turnovers. “I have to play better. My team and I are not asking me to do the impossible. I know what level I can reach,” Jayson Tatum summed it up immediately after the game. In Game 4, he needed 23 shots for his 23 rebounds and dipped, especially in the second half.
Tatum on Currys Gala. “I knew it in advance.”
Jayson Tatum was delighted with Stephen Curry’s performance after his 43-point performance, but wasn’t overly surprised. “Everyone knows he is a great player, one of the best. He does what he has to do to put his team in the best position. I knew before the series how great he was. And after Game 4, I got to know myself, too.”
Tatum’s teammate Marcus Smart noted that Curry’s brilliance goes beyond shooting. “He can affect the game at all levels: playmaking, shooting, scoring. position”.
Tatum isn’t surprised the Celtics won’t be able to fall short of the title. “It’s not going to be easy, nor should it be.” After four games, only one point separates the two teams. Other statistics that justify the balance: Effective field goals from 54.2 to 53.7 percent Warriors. Turnover ratio 13.5 to 13.3 percent Warriors, offensive turnover rate 23.5 to 23.3 percent Celtics.
Although the Warriors have already had some impressive runs, Jordan Poole still sees room for improvement. For the series, he is averaging 12.5 points on 42.9 percent from the field and 36.0 from long range. After he had strong performances in the first two rounds against Denver and Memphis, he was only able to build on that to a limited extent.
Celtics. Williams III is optimistic despite the injury
In addition to Andre Iguodala (knee) and Otto Porter Jr. (foot) for the Warriors, Robert Williams III is also questionable again before Game 5. However, he is not too worried about his participation. “I’m fine, a little sore, but I’ve had worse days.”
After the big man looked visibly crippled by his knee injury early in the series, he turned in really good performances in Games 3 (especially there) and 4. However, he limped off the field in the final quarter of Game 4, landing on his injured left knee. “I don’t even know if it was the landing or the jump. It’s a typical soreness, but like I said, I’m fine.”
Previously, Williams II had 7 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 blocks and a +6 plus/minus in 31 minutes. Before Game 5, he should go through his usual routine to see if anything interferes with the bet. It’s not like that.
