The Warriors will get the job done, but not without a bit of stress along the way.
If you’re a Warriors fan who enjoys the chess match of basketball, that sentence should rattle you to your core.
The Warriors have shown the ability to score at all three levels — paint, mid-range, and beyond the arc — this postseason, but Boston has proven itself to be the only team in the league that can defend at a high level at all three of those levels. After the All-Star Game, when the Celtics really started to roll, Williams’ rim protection was a level beyond elite. Teams shot 17 percent worse from 6 feet and in when he was on the floor, and nearly 20 percent worse from inside of 10 feet.
With Boston’s tenacity on the perimeter and length in the mid-range, having Williams’ 7-foot-6 wingspan at the basket will tell us so much of what will happen in this series.The Celtics have a defense built to frustrate and perhaps even negate the Warriors’ offensive system.There are some motion sets that could give Golden State better chances to break free — double-screens, post-ups, and slips — but those can only go so far.
