As a Steph fan, i think its the right gameplan. Keep the other guys ice cold, and out of the offense. If Steph puts up 45 for the next three games you MAY lose the series. If Klay and Pool put up 30 you WILL lose the series. Make Steph work on defense, and hope that he doesn't have the legs to carry them three more games. Grind him down. It's the right play. But for it to work Boston has to play better offense, and cannot turn the ball over. This is going to be a great week of basketball!!
I agree. Even as much I want the warriors to win Steph has come up short even if its a game or two in the past finals that is why KD was so important. When Steph was missing shots you had a guaranteed bucket on your team to fall back on. In the 2016 finals he had one game where he only scored 11 points. I don't think its going to work because Steph is so much better than he was in 2016. He doesn't live and die by the 3 anymore.
Well put after watching the first four games n a Celtics fan this will be our downfall turnovers and role players popping off
But they are not locking klay up, he’s just missing shots.
They did that game 4 and then they're the ones who ran out of gas in the 4th.
@@marquezshine747 I mean they kinda are locking him up. The problem is even while locked up Klay is still taking the highly contested shot, even with a lot of time on the clock.
Steph heard all the “Marcus Smart holds Steph to 39% “ talk before the series & simply took it personal
Technically no one guarding steph on some of them screens
@@jgreed5 there is always somebody “guarding Steph” lmao the Celtics got tired legs from 2 game 7s & sweeping KD n nem
@@KDuff-2015 he saying the big man dropping back and giving steph space when they should just blitz and double
@@jgreed5 yeah that's why you double him. Problem is when the other guys get hot and open. There's literally no win scenario
@@KDuff-2015 no there isn’t. Did you listen to anything jj said or watch game. 80-90% time yes someone is in stephs face but with the screens and not blitzing Steph has a window no one on him
JJ's favorite words are "drop coverage" 😂
Steph is the MJ of this era.. and before you take things out if context, I'm not saying he's the GOAT but His aura, his presence on the court, his ability offensively he absolutely scares the heck out of the opposition. Not to mention he is the greatest show in basketball by a wide margin.
So LeBron doesn’t exist? Nobody talks like this about bron is cause there’s ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ANYBODY CAN DO TO STOP HIM!!! Steph has fallen short in 2015,16,19 majority of his finals were subpar by his standards. Stop trying to create this false narrative
@@sahalmohamed6638 2019 he played out of his mind?
@@sahalmohamed66382015 he averaged 26ppg and 2019 he averaged 30ppg how did he fall short you 🤡 🤔
As what BronBron said. "YOU CANT" LMAO
It's refreshing to have an analyst like JJ who can give hot-takes AND break down the game. Most hot-take guys just focus on stats like 4th quarter scoring, etc. Steven A was just listening once the convo switched to defensive schemes
Curry is 1 of few players I've actually seen get bulkier and still remain consistent. I think it's honestly freaky how he could put on all that muscle and his shot isn't even affected!
He’s still not that big lol. If anything it helps his defense
Well to be fair, earlier this year he was shooting terribly. It’s crazy how he can just TURN IT ON when his team needs it.
He literally had his worst shooting season by a mile.
@@brendangilmartin4002 And yet he shot 60% true shooting which is higher than most all time greats
@@fyemusicplug6486 And I think Celtics decision to defend him this way so far in this series, was partly bcos of the fact that Steph's shot the worst this season compared to the yrs before. But Steph decided to remind everyone that he's the best shooter to ever touch the ball in this series instead. Crazy
Just pray Steph miss.
But praying is not a "good defensive" strategy.
- BOS needs to be physical with Steph. Make him work on the defensive side. Curry is great. Tatum needs to level up. But I still called BOS in 6 -- unless Curry keeps doing what he's doing. Either way, excellent series.
They need to turn Steph into a passer. We know Steph can’t pass well out of a blitz, he becomes a turnover machine. That’s what they have to do. Stop letting him shoot threes
Pray while playing defense
@@jlui21 how more physical could they be ? Boston is extending too much to slow down Chef Curry and it’s taking a toll on them.
@@eldio2124 if they start Blitzing, Klay & Poole are going for 60 combined.
3:38, Like I said at the beginning right here on Stephen A's. First Take page. Steph Curry IS CLUTCH. Steph Curry is a Top 10 player in NBA history. And no disrespect to Boston, which is a really good team, I expected a 6 or 7 game series, and I picked Steph and the Warriors to win a 4th World Championship.
They didn't make him work as much on defense in Game 4 so he was fresher in the 4th, and the Celtics offense down the stretch was atrocious, iso ball, no movement, no drives much less drive and kick. Can't have both of those things and win.
Bro steph was literally getting called into almost every PNR 😂
Tbh if he wasn't in a foul trouble game 3, he could have defended better but other than that he was great in defense considering how small he is
@@Cashmyke even when they did they would still just shoot a j or do a little dancing then shoot. No one bumping him, no driving to make him chase or switch again. If u can't see how different it was from game 3, I don't know what to tell u except watch more ball and pay more attention when u do?
@@blikketty77 they literally taking him to the paint and backing him down also? I seen that multiple times. You must be blind and watch more ball? Or pay attention? You can make steph work but his conditioning so good it don’t matter 😂
@@yassineneffati9848 he defended fine for his size but the C's got lazy in this game, they would get him as the switch and then bail him out by shooting quickly.
Boston's game plan to stop his teammates and let Steph cook started to crack in the fourth quarter. They started sending two guys at him and unlike the two games that Boston won where they blitzed Curry it didn't work this time because him and his teammates have adjusted to it. They don't appear to be wanting to change that plan so Steph is going to have to continue to play well. All that said I think his teammates are about to go off tonight after that last performance he just gave them all the inspiration they need. Also if the Warriors play defense these next two games they'll win in six. The games the Warriors have won they've played defense the ones they've lost the didn't it's really that simple. Boston has played defense all four games. Warriors twice.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 y'all mf crazy I'm sorry they done if he don't put 40 up or role player better step up an Klay
@@Twosix25 I think that's what's gonna happen tonight with his teammates stepping up. My point about the defense is also correct though. Warriors have won when they've played defense. In the two fourth quarters they got sand blasted in they didn't play defense and didn't handle the Steph blitz well.
Facts. They blitzed Steph in that 4th qtr and Draymond became effective once again being the roller who makes the decision on the back end of the floor playing 4v3. Blitzing Steph on the pick and roll, especially the high pick and roll will destroy teams, since it's going to either be a Klay Thompson open 3 or an easy lay up.
Man stop it the Warriors aren't beating the celtics three straight times you Warriors fans always overreact to one game I would not be surprised at all if the celtics win tonight
I feel tonight will be a klay and draymond game… meaning they will blitz steph tonight and when they do the first pass out will be to draymond flashing to the middle… top of the key or free throw line… then the hockey assist to klay who will drop 6 to 8 threes. This is a draymond 10 assist klay 30 point game. Steph gets 28 pts in 3 quarters and rests the 4th because it’s a blow out
Celtics had Gm 4 under the control until the final 5 minutes when they went scoreless for 4 minutes. Jaylen seems to love playing in SF. His home away from home he tweeted.
Facts keep dbl step and klay 💚😤
We can say same for warriors in game 1
they can’t win at chase😂 especially with the refs not on your side anymore
fans finna be trolling on all y’all
If jayson Tatum shows up game 4 is neck to neck until the end brown kept them in it
First Take is lit these days
no you can't slow steph.. you can slow everyone else though
Yes, but you also have to look at how far Horford and Williams are dropping on the screens.
Rather have Steph cook. Just slow everyone else and less turn overs and Boston could take this game.
You also have to remember if they close out on him then he can blow by. If someone tries to help defend curry with a blow by that leaves another man open for a pass. The person can either shoot now, pump fake, or wait for steph to get in another position and pass to him again. It’s a lose-lose situation. You just gotta pick your poison at the end of the day.
@@maazqureshi6724 You forgot that this ppl only cares about Steph not having such an amazing stats like he has rn, Warriors can win, but not with Steph averaging this much of points per game. Lol
They think that Boston cares about Steph's stats more than choosing the best measured approach to get a championship? It's crazy to me that ppl bashing Celtics defense when they've been the best at it since the new year. They really think that they know it all and Boston suddenly being dumb?
Just to put it in a picture, if Curry's still in his shooting slump like he largely was in regular season, the series probably over by now in favor of Boston. They don't get it wrong with their defensive approach. Ppl need to understand that.
Andrew Wiggins is playing very consistent ball this series
JJ Redick certainly knows a great deal about basketball
Idk whether enough ppl realize this or not,, but Warriors approach all this time was always to mainly limit 'the others' productions while not giving too much attentions to the opponents stars. They could careless about Lebron's averaging 40+ or Jokic or Doncic averaging 30+, long as the others don't heat up, they know they get the best chance to win those games.
It's basically the same with what Celtics are doing rn. It's not the craziest approach when you consider that this season Steph's been on a shooting slump generally this season. Besides, if you're playing the percentage, it's still better to give space for a 40 some percent shooter from 3, rather than letting a team dominates your paint with their layups penetrations that's almost always resulted 90% of the time with points. Be it a 2 or easy kickout where Klay/Potter/Poole/Wiggins of the world gets open somewhere to hit those 3s. Boston *wisely* chose this defensive approach to increase their chance of winning this finals. Their priority is not like Steph haters who gets mad that his stats could look this great. Totally different priorities from 2 different parties. Lol
Man please don't preach too much on a Monday. Games 1 & 3 the game was in Steph's hands in the 4th and he didn't ball out (combined 6 pts those two games). Game 4 it was 95-94 and Steph took over (10 pts in the 4th). This is Boston's strategy. Motion offense wants to share the ball Boston is stopping it but in return Steph has burned them 2x. Betting on their base defense, their DPOY and analytics. But that may not matter with Steph. He's an anomaly.
@@jjballers81 Idk you say all that then close with saying he's an anomaly. Everything you said prior was correct, Steph is playing basically perfect not because he's an anomaly it's because they're allowing him to.
@@369pendulum 'Allowing' Steph to get his points is certainly different with allowing players like Lebron, Giannis, or Jokic to get theirs man. Players like Lebron, Giannis, and Jokic could easily body ppl in the paint to get their easy 2's (almost automatic). Steph needs more work despite Celtics 'allowing' him with his jumpshoots. Besides, Im not sure how it's them allowing him when Smart routinely handchecks him like crazy everytime Steph's off the ball, that dagger 3 in last game when White guarded him, his hands were all over his face too, so 🤷
@@judyclarkson5887 I didn't say they were leaving him open all game but they're essentially letting him shoot off pick n rolls & they're not blitzing him like teams normally do. They're enticingly him to shoot more hoping that he continues to take the bait. IMO they feel like they have more talent and they feel the Warriors are a lot easier to beat if their offense as a whole is neutralized.
@@judyclarkson5887 if you don’t blitz Steph on the pick and roll, you’re basically allowing him to revert back to 2016 Steph where defenses didn’t know how to play him. Those shots are wide open for him. This is the Celtics strategy because this makes Draymond essentially useless on offense, and disrupts the dominant motion offense the warriors are used to. The problem for boston is, Steph looks like he can beat them.
Jj analysis is amazing per usual
JJ”s take was immaculate. 👌
At this point it wouldn’t be bad idea if curry shot 25 + shots if he’s making 50 percent of threes and twos
It’s incredible shot making, but also great shot selection. He takes what the defense gives him and gives the ball up quick if he gets doubled. It’s unlikely he’ll make 50% of his threes if he’s forcing shots every time down the court. Although, this is Steph we’re talking about, so who knows?
@@weswalks8449 I think most of his shots aren’t great looks but for steph any shot could be a good shot if he can rise up and shoot he’s proven to make contested threes look easier than any other player other than harden in Houston
@@CyphCat let me clarify, they are great looks for him, not anybody else. Yes his shots were contested, but allowing him to come off a screen even from 30+ feet with a clear look at the basket is a great look for steph. Then when he gets hot, there’s virtually no shot he won’t take and make.
@@weswalks8449 you’re acting like bro doesn’t miss…. He is definitely an anomaly compared to other players but he’s human get that sausage out of your mouth
Missing in Action again after a loss . Kendrick Perkins.
Lol nah Kendrick doesn't come on until Tuesday, they have a schedule
Fr 😂
I think their game plan is solid no one man can beat a team for a whole 7-game series especially a 6’3 pg only problem is Tatum keeps going cold
Only problem is Tatum isn’t a superstar
Going cold? Lol he shooting like 30% with a bunch of turnovers. GTFOH 😂
@@Wlterdaly warriors just playing good defense the 2 games they’ve won
@@laugh-cry-n-think_ never said he was but he is very close he just isn’t ready for all this play making yet
One man carrying a team through the finals has happened many times....
Love JJ analysis of the game
Love JJ's analysis and specific details on what's going on. Can't wait for the game tonight
Really wanna see Steph go off for 55- 60 in one of these games..then the narrative that he doesn’t perform in the finals will forever be ended.. 🤞🏼🤞🏼
the refs missed alot of fouls that could have given him 50
I think Udoka made it very clear. To slow down Steph, it has to start from Boston's offense. They have got to make Curry work on defense to slow him down on offense. They did not go hard at him in game 4 at all. Also, why no physicality whatsoever on Steph? No hard foul, bumping or brusing on him at all. Look at how GSW guarded Luka. Luka came out of the game as if he's been through a battlefield. That's how a superstar should be guarded.
Facts
thats called fouling, not playing the game clean
They fouled the sh*t out of him on those long threes and when he drove, the refs just didn’t call it and steph didn’t care. Unlike luka, steph goes up to score. He doesn’t create contact to just draw fouls like Luka he focuses on making the basket Thru contact… jayson Tatum should pay attention instead for turning the ball over trying to draw fouls. Marcus smart is flopping all over the court. This is the finals no one is going to get those calls need to play to score not to draw fouls.

@@firebread72 cry
What is NBA without Curry one of the greatest of all time this guy a legend for real
My Dubs got them in a rough spot. They have to work on focusing the spot up screens from curry and poole but Wiggins, Looney Tunes, Klay and Otto will all have EASY chances to step up, with Dray and GP2 facilitating and otto helping with keeping screens functional. Also if looney and GP2 play good defense inside the arc we win in 6
If they do that Draymond will be free to get others going. So it's a double edge sword.
Dray made 2 huge plays on the 4th the last game
“Let’s go Warriors!” 👏👏👏
Celtics in 7 they're just trying to sell tickets and make money
Game 5 Klay will be activated and if that transfers into Game 6 Klay... 👀👀
Warriors will win in 7 regardless if they lose tonight. It's difficult to beat Celtics 2 in a row but I think Game 7 will be too big for them. Hard to win 3 road games in a series.
Game 7 would be in Boston right? So they would have won only 2 road games if they win game 5

@@stopcampin4097 I’ll come back to this comment
Udoka is betting on the possibility that Steph won't have multiple game like he did in game 4. I kinda agree with him. Warriors easily win with warriors basketball. So might as well let Steph try to beat you. It becomes a series decided by the skill of the players.
He only needs to have 2 more games like that. You’re forgetting about the inspiration and internal fortitude of an all time great. If he knows all he has to do to Win his 4th ring is sustain this level of play for 2 more games the greats can zero in a focus for 2 games. His will to win is enough to do this over and over for a series. Phoenix didn’t think Gianis could keep it up either and they let him play 1 on 1 against single coverage all series and he beat them. Curry is happy to play pick and roll against drop coverage and shoot 25 times a game. It’s a losing strategy for Boston they must trap and hope for the best
@@franciscofletes1948 yh but trapping Curry
opens up Draymond's short roll game which gets the other players involved in the game, which is the warriors style of play. I'm not doubting Curry's ability to sustain this level of play but I'd rather lose to the greatness of one person than to a collective team effort.
I think the Celtics are gonna start blitzing curry on the PNRs next game. So for the warriors to win game 5, Draymond has to step up and make good decisions off that double team. Whether he does or not will determine the outcome of the game. Also can Klay step up.
Celtics need to make him work on defense like they did in game 3 and it will help tire him out in the 4th
JJ is not lying the Boston bigs stepped all the way back to the free throw line and not even tried to contest Steph most of curry’s shots have been wide open off of screens
JJ Redick is a gift for ESPN
They got to defend him harder like they did kd, maybe they are afraid of his passing ability, but still put more effort
The easiest choice for FMVP!!!
Jaylen Brown…love his integrity and professionalism..bravo. Wishing some of that rubs off on your fans..😉😀
i mean you can see it with the amount of drop coverage they’re seeing… they just don’t want to give up easy layups if they double him
Curry is just unbelievable these finals this is a aggressive Curry which is the best version of him
When u blitz steph curry u make kd look like the mvp. JJ always forgets to say that. as well as what this defense made KD look like 1 month ago cause unlike what Stephen A says he cant pull from thirty neither has the basketball iq/playmaking nor the toughness of steph
Better Do Somee" 🤣 Chef With the Pot
Klay needs to be there first half! The Splash brothers needs to be there to seal this series.
The crazy part about all this is that bostons game plans been working but Tatum has been going cold off setting the initial plan if Tatum was giving them his regular 30 points none of these games would’ve even been close let alone the warriors coming back and winning them
Yeah yeah yeah whatever
It's basically you let Steph play 1on 1, or you double Steph and let the Warriors play 4 on 3 which Draymond, Poole, Looney and Klay thrive on those situations.

@@tricktracy299 At least your picks are logical. Kudos 👍🏼😎
If the Celtics continue not to change their game plan, Steph might just go on and win FMVP even if the warriors lost becoming only the 2nd player to ever do so.
I’m sure Boston won’t mind that if they’re holding the championship trophy
Lebron ain’t get it in 2015 steph ain’t getting it if they lose
Honestly amazes me how after all these years teams still haven’t found a way to slow Curry down
Them double screens hard to defend
They have found a way to slow him down consistent doubles, traps and hedges but the problem is that unlocks Draymond and his teammates. Boston is electing to let Steph cook and limit his teammates. It's the first time a defense has decided to do this in the finals. Every other defense has always doubled, trapped and hedged him throughout. Boston's been waiting until the fourth to do that when his teammates are out of rhythm and Steph's gassed. It's worked twice and it's failed twice.
@@winssports4830 they are probably gonna regret that

Good god JJ. Don't give Boston some tips. Bruh. JJ is really insightful! He's a great addition to this show. Mad props!
Kerr is out coaching the Cs coach.. the draymond benching, why are you goin under screens on Steph, Steph has been outplaying Tatum glaringly, 2-2 is crazy that G1 4thQ collapse was magical! Warriors in 6 but Cs so up and down they may score 122 tonight lol
Basically boston riding and dying with def scheme the same as Milwaukee did with their horrible defensive strategy
one thing that reeks about this warriors team is all of the moving screens they get away with. with that said, they are a fabulous team
Great players are gonna be great, try to minimize the others.
Right now Celtics is just hoping for Steph to settle on long 3 pts and that he misses them. However, it back fire as Steph has found his touch so trapping and blitzing him will allow other guys to go off while Steph is still in his zone. Celtics pretty much gamble and are paying for it now.
"Dafensive Wizidree" -SAS
I am a Warriors fan and I will say, the Celtics were in control in game 4 until they fell apart. Even though the Warriors won the series in 6 games, I wanted it to go 7 game for pure entertainment. Steph Curry as Finals NBA is the right Choice
I think the question is what happens if Klay gets hot? He's shot closer to 50% the last 2 games which means a breakout is coming sooner than later. He didn't miss a shot in the 4th in game 4. I think the Celtics are playing a dangerous game because the Warriors are that type of team that can erupt regardless of what you're doing defensively.
This series gon end up 4:2 for GSW
Celtics should stop playing drop coverage on Steph.
Celtics gotta stop turning the ball over
Where is Max
When you give Mr. Curry an inch, he'll take a yard! BOS can't give him space, room to shoot otherwise he'll make them pay. Also, he tends to thrive off strong screens set which leaves him open to receive the ball and make shots. Boston needs to make it harder on him to play his way.

Man JJ is so smart curry ain’t getting 100 limit the rest the team leg curry get his he gonna get his no matter what but stop the rest the guys the Celtics can win
So far not a bad NBA FINALS 👽
Its time to get the ball out of Stephs hands. He is just way too comfortable. I understand the game plan but the dubs co stars are starting to show up game by game and the Celtics co stars are starting to regress each game. Curry might not get 43 again but he will continue to be great and if you are gambling on him to choke i think that might cost you. He is showing up every single game and I believe he is here to play and play great. You have to force the others to HOOP. Steph is showing that he can do it . The Dubs co stars are stepping up in the rebound department and they are hitting the late game shots. Gotta get that ball out of stephs hands….he is too efficient and too effective.
If u look at the games they are basically ignoring draymond green and his man is used to shut everyone else besides curry. hes on the passing lanes and and used to give curry some pressure but mostly every one else has some kind of coverage. There plan is to force curry to play hero ball and force draymond to do something bc he's always wide open.
Warriors in six sorry not sorry 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️
Way to Man-up and give
Wiggins props!
JJ knows ball
I don't think people paid attention to what Ime said. It doesn't matter what kind of game Steph has, they are scoring the "same" amount of points. Look at the totals through 4 games. 108, 107, 100, 107. Celtics had 120 and 116 in their wins, and 88, 97, in their losses. So he feels the defense has done its job and it's the offense that's letting them down. I don't agree that points alone are a good measure since pace and the way the game is called differs from game to game. Yet, you have to admit, in Bos' losses it seemed like their offense was the culprit.
Every time Steph hits a float he tries to flex his biceps 😂😂😂
Boston can't make the right changes! They need to play grant Williams over Robert Williams 😒 i love the change Otto porter in the starting line up to open up steph
Yes. Because Green is going to set a pick, so RW can be guarding Steph and he can score easily. Play small and Curry won’t be as effective.
@@tricktracy299 coaching matters in this series and its showing fr . I got warriors in 6

You have to apply box and one on Steph.
Celtics: All we need to do is stop Curry from going off.
Game 6 Klay: 👀
Curry: 🏀🗑️💦💦
The Celtics have this series locked up. With their backs against the wall they hit another level. The parades in Beantown this year fellas.
If Celtics want to win their 18th championship, they must end it in 6. They don't want a Game 7 against these guys. So they must win tonight and Thursday.
Whoever wins game 5 will win the series. This game is pivotal
Why don’t the Celtics try to run the box-and-one like the Raptors did to Curry in ‘19? If it worked so well for the Raptors against Curry in the Finals you’d think the Celtics would at least give it a shot
Do you not understand what a box-and-one is? That strategy is only effective if there is only one offensive player on the floor, in the case of '19 Klay and KD were injured leaving only Curry.
Ime Udoka has no answer even if you double him Steph may not have 49 but he’ll get his. And then other players will go off if they change there defensive strategy against him
Yes, they bring in some real NBA analysts with JJ and CJ. Finally SAS can stop screaming and talking loud over others.
"You know I agree with you Top Gun, but let me say this, you are wrong on everything!" 😁🤣😂😅
I think it's the best to let curry go off , if klay and pool start going off it's over with
Boston is 8-3 on the road and difficult to beat two in a row. In polls, GS are favored to win 60% to win Gm 5. Same percentage as Celts winning Gm 4 but didn't. Pick the underdog.
Boston never lost two in a row this whole playoffs so the odds in there favor if anything

Lots of warriors haters in here, i see 🤔
i actually think they are tryin to slow everyone down but curry is actually just too good in the frame of mind he's in rightnow
Thing is no 1 player can carry a team to a championship. LeBron tried and failed, Iverson tried and failed and Reggie tried and failed. Help must come through to finish off the series.
Pressure is on Boston they got to win 2 in a row
No perk after a Loss🤔
Celtics need to get steph in foul trouble. Celtics do well when steph is on the bench.
Everybody knows Steph doesn’t get into foul trouble 😂
I don’t care what anyone says the defense they are playing is terrible on Steph and it’s going to be a wrap for the Celtics if they don’t change because Klay is just getting more comfortable and with those twp hot it’s over.
If im the Celtics, who is the best defense in the league. I woulda rather have ANYONE ELSE ON THE COURT, Beat me then Stephen curry. It’s amazing what Steph is doing but it is unbelievable when you remember how good this Celtic team is defensively.
JJ knows what he’s talking about. Celtics needs to change their defensive plan on Steph and let the “Others” beat them
That's a Bridge to nowhere behind Stephen A. Smith
I know this game. I played 40+ years. Boston just have to play like they want it because the match-ups favor them. As good as Steph played, Boston should have won with some effort (except MS). People go off, it happens. Stop trippin.
MEANWHILE KD IS TWEETING AS HARD AS HE CAN TO TRY TO CHANGE THE NARRATIVE AROUND HIM.
Curry aint the problem he cant win by himself. That 16 & 17 from Wiggins is what killed them.
