Rather good in Game 1 against the Celtics, Stephen Curry failed to lead the Warriors to victory. He suffered at the end of the game, against a very fit Boston team. This is particularly the case of a player, who poses problems for the Chief. The latter did not hesitate to congratulate him at a press conference.
Sunday night, still at the Chase Center, the Warriors will try to come back to 1-1 in this final against the Celtics. Nothing is done, especially when you see the level of play offered by Jayson Tatum’s teammates. There is a possibility of improving among the Dubs, but beware of a bad surprise in this Game 2. It must be said that there are many players capable of making a difference, like Al Horford, who achieved unprecedented in all history.

Moreover, and shortly after the game, Curry quickly spoke about the prowess of his opponents. He can only respect these benefits, especially coming from Horford, who plays perhaps what can be considered the best basketball of his career. Another player to remember? Derrick White, who finished with 21 points off the bench. Curry does not hide it from the media: they hope that the two men will calm down.
“You hope they don’t stay that hot but you also have to do something about it and we have to figure that out”

We necessarily hope that they will not stay at this level, but we must also be able to prevent them and do something.
However, it was another player who particularly impressed Curry: Robert Williams, so important to the Celtics racquet:
This is his main asset in this league, he is able to protect the circle. Especially when he doesn’t have the ball, he is capable of being forgotten and then coming out of nowhere. He knows how to deny those shots really well, I even think he blocked one of my three-point shots. Sometimes we almost underestimate its size.
That’s also the beauty of this series, and I can’t wait to face a guy like him again, while making necessary adjustments. It’s a very different feeling in these playoffs, it’s clearly not the regular season. But we will be ready for Sunday.
For the Warriors, it is therefore above all adjustments in the coming days, in order to be ready for Game 2 and the return of the Celtics. The winner of this game can make a big difference, even if nothing is done yet at this stage of the competition. One thing is certain: Steph will not have the right to miss.
Robert Williams impresses at the Celtics, but he’s clearly not the only one. It’s a real collective that shines in Boston, and which can create a surprise against the Warriors, already in difficulty. It’s not the end of this series of course, but be careful not to end up at 0-2 on Sunday evening.
