That said, the Boston Celtics look more and more like the clearly superior team. They do not have to compromise at any end of the field with their lineup, while Golden State must choose attack or defense. The Celtics have more creators, better defense and are much bigger and more athletic.

Boston have not been great at home in all the playoffs, but Stephen Curry, who shoots 49 percent at 12 3s per game in the first three games of this series, represents the ultimate puncher opportunity.
It ‘s still tight. Personally, I predicted that the Celtics would win the series in the top seven and I still believe that. I think the Warriors will find a way to win Game 4 and turn it into a three-game series that will return to San Francisco, but most of my colleagues disagree. It is difficult to disagree with them. Again, Boston looks like the best team.

Selected game Boston Celtics vs. Golden State Warriors
Prediction of Celtics vs. Warriors, Game Options 4
Bill Reiter: I felt confident earlier this week that the Warriors would win one of those two games in Boston. Steph Curry is Steph Curry. Klay Thompson would definitely get his shooting touch back, at least for one game. Draymond Green would support his tough speech with an impressive, powerful game. Jordan Poole would finally contribute. And so on. That’s still true, even less so under the uncertainty of Curry’s injury. However, the Warriors, as far as we know, are still the Warriors and the bias of recent dominance prevails in the NBA. So if Curry gets hurt too much to really help, the sky is unlikely to fall to the Warriors – and a win takes that turn and momentum back into their hands. Option: Golden State +4 | Warriors 112, Celtics 108
Brad Botkin: This is very simple: I bet on Stephen Curry and the Warriors’ world-class competitiveness, which has been arguably their most important feature over the years. This team is fighting. Her championship life is in the works. If Boston goes up 3-1, that’s over. Boston is a better team. Golden State has its downsides across the field. Nevertheless, in my soul, I believe that Curry will be the Curry and the Warriors to find a way to get even to this thing by returning to San Francisco. But they have to score to do it, because I do not see them doing much to stop Boston. Option: Golden State +4 | Warriors 118, Celtics 113
James Herbert: I feel completely uncomfortable with how confident I am with the Celtics right now. I originally predicted that this would be a series of seven games and nothing about Golden State suggests it will fold. However, it seems as if we are seeing a familiar story unfold: Boston understands exactly how it wants to attack its opponent, while this opponent is looking for lineups that work at both ends. I can not choose the Warriors when I do not think they have found a winning formula * and * Steph can suffer. Selection: Boston -4 | Celtics 120, Warriors 110
Colin Ward-Henninger: A lot of people choose the Celtics, and rightly so. They physically dominated Golden State and had great shooting nights with Steve Carey and Clay Thompson to win Game 3. My hope for the Warriors comes from the idea that Steve Kerr spent the first three games trying to find combinations of elevens and spin patterns. He has not often won gold, but I think he has enough elements to make better calls in Game 4. They will not dominate the boards again and Draymond Green will come out with the fire and passion we saw in Game 2. He has not been competitive yet. crisis time in this series, and there I think the Warriors have the advantage. That should be close, but I’ll go to Golden State. Option: Golden State +4 | Warriors 103, Celtics 100
Jasmyn Wimbish: I would just like to start by saying that my prediction for the score was three points from the final score for Game 3, so well done for that. Moving on to Game 4 … Steph Curry said shortly after Game 3 that he did not think this leg injury would cost him a game. Then he said on Thursday afternoon that he is playing in Game 4. This is all great news for the Warriors. However, if it is less than 100 percent, it could be annoying for this team. Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins showed signs of life in the attack in Game 3, which was encouraging, but Golden State could not stop anyone on the other side of the floor. The Celtics punished the Warriors with their size, reduced their mistakes and played smart, healthy basketball. It looked like Boston had found the recipe to beat this team two more times, while Golden State is still trying to find things. Selection: Boston -4 | Celtics 120, Warriors 112
Michael Kaskey-Blomain: I chose Golden State to win Game 3, and it did not go so well. The Celtics were the most natural team throughout the 3rd game, and sometimes they just looked too big and too athletic to fit in with Golden State, and that’s not necessarily something you can deal with. The other issue for the Warriors is that they had a hard time finding a consistent score outside of Steph Curry, while the Celtics had a more consistent contribution. Speaking of Curry, he can now suffer a bit after Al Horford landed on his leg late in Game 3. The Warriors need him to do so much and if he is not in full force, it will be difficult for them to win. Selection: Boston -4 | Celtics 112, Warriors 104
Sam Quinn: Here’s exactly what I’m struggling to overcome in three games: In the regular season, almost 48 percent of Stephen Curry’s goals on the field were assisted. In this series, this percentage decreased to 27.3%. All the beautiful five-player game on which Golden State is aggressively based? Left. The Celtics dare the Warriors to beat them one on one and Carrie is the only scorer he has who is capable of doing so. Jordan Poole averages 12 points per game. Klay Thompson was not really a dribbler even at his peak. I just do not see any answers to this for the Warriors. Their roster is not equipped for such series. I expect the Celtics to start splitting in Game 4. Choice: Boston -4 | Celtics 121, Warriors 102
