I just read a crazy story that LeBron James was considering opting out of his player option next year in order to join the Warriors on a minimum deal to play alongside Jimmy Butler, Draymond Green, and of course Stephen Curry. I also heard that Kevin Durant is trying his best to find a way back to Golden State. While I don't think the Phoenix Suns will let that happen this year and will want way too much for him, the idea that LeBron could go to the Warriors is a real possibility. I think a LeBron and Steph combo would be hard to stop but they are both getting old...
I don't think Kevin Durant to the Warriors is still on any radar of possibility because Kevin Durant himself already ruled out a move back to Warriors before the trade deadline, but of course we've seen stranger things happen in the NBA. I don't think Lebron would leave the Lakers too, except he's going to find a way to take Bronny along with him.
The Celtics depend a lot on three-pointers, but when they miss too many, it's a problem.
They lost 2 games in a row at home. Now they have to win both games in New York and at home. It will be hard to come back from 2-0, but if any team can do it, it's the Celtics. Game 3 will be decisive in the series.
I understand that the 3 point shot is their identity, but having guys like Tatum and Brown would could easily drive to the rim or score from midrange, I think when they have comfortable leads, that should be their go to play, but they always choose to live by 3s and also die by it, until it's rather too late. Anyways, I'm sure the series would still return to Boston, which means the Celtics would win at least 1 game in the Garden and avoid a sweep.
