Stephen A Smith on Golden State Warriors
Golden State Warriors are potentially going to be crowned champions once after tearing through their opponents in the post-season. With a fully healthy core team locked and ready to get back to their dominating selves, it is only their knowledge that stands between their upcoming opponents Boston Celtics and them winning a title.
Klay Thompson has been a very vital piece on the roster, especially with his contributions to the numbers on offense. Many believed and still think that he will be the biggest reason why the Warriors may be crowned champions again. But both teams have their strengths and weaknesses coming into the series and Boston’s elite defense could be a problem for the Dubs.
Golden State Warriors set to challenge Boston Celtics for the title
Now that both conferences have achieved a representative, this matchup might be one of the most exciting ones NBA fans will have witnessed by the end. Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors had a very successful season averaging 32 points per game before injuries set in. The former MVP averaged 24.5 points per game but played extremely well put alongside Jordan Poole and Andrew Wiggins. Wiggins was a huge booster on the squad with his defensive presence and ability to score a minimum of 20 points apiece.
The Celtics heavily rely on Jayson Tatum for offense after leading them through the regular season with 26.9 points, 8 rebounds, and 4.4 assists per game. He has been averaging 27 points throughout the playoffs this year helping the Celtics balance out their defensive prowess. Al Horford and Marcus Smart have been their go-to defenders lately.
Stephen A Smith recalls his prediction on Golden State Warriors
Stephen A Smith is one of the most entertaining sports television personalities in the business right now and has very interesting takes as well. Earlier in the season, he predicted that the Golden State Warriors will win the title if Thompson returned fully healthy, and behold that is exactly what it might lead to. His colleague Kendrick Perkins also called for the Celtics to rise from the East and last night was a prophecy proven.
Smith reacted to the Warriors entering the finals saying, “I can’t even tell you how happy I am… This series is going to be a thriller. I just think it’s the better matchup. I think is the matchup basketball fans should want to see. Boston is an elite defense with offensive firepower. The Golden State Warriors are who the hell we thought they were. I just think this has seven games written all over it”
