Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBAMini-thread:
I went back and watched as many of the Celtics defensive possessions against Stephen Curry as I could.
Yes, Boston is dropping. Yes, it seems crazy. But what Boston doesn’t want is the ball pinging around and back to Curry for a wide-open catch-&-shoot three.

Brian Robb: Game 4 officials: James Capers, Kane Fitzgerald, Eric Lewis -via Twitter @BrianTRobb / June 10, 2022 Connor Letourneau: Otto Porter Jr. is also good to go tonight. -via Twitter @Con_Chron / June 10, 2022 I love the commentary, but it seems like it would be a lot. You play a game, then you post up and you’re doing the pod … Draymond Green: It’s all business, you know? The way I view my podcast is that I’m operating a business. Like, you can’t get tired of operating your own business, or it fails. So, it’s something that I take as serious as I do basketball. And so, if I’m going to show up for the game, I show up for (the podcast), or it doesn’t work. -via The Athletic / June 10, 2022
