We seen how they did last year and how they looked washed this year how did they win the championship with essentially the same team a year ago. Was 2022 the weakest the league ever been post 2000?
Celtics collapsed under the pressure and curry was unreal
It’s looking more and more insane now that they won. All-time lightning in a bottle stuff from Poole and Wiggins.
The league in general was just weak that year. Lakers were a disaster, Nuggets injuries, Dallas made the WCF.
Celtics were probably the stronger team and blew it in the Finals.
This is all just revisionist history. The Warriors were the clear best in the NBA in 2022 as long as they were healthy. They were on a 67 win pace in games Steph and Draymond played together. Boston or anyone else winning that year would’ve been an upset.
dallas made the wcf because they got hot and beat a 60 win team, that doesn’t mean the west was weak
>Was 2022 the weakest the league has ever been post 2000
Lol what a weird rewriting of history
Poole was legit hooping, Wiggins looked like Kawhi at time’s, Tatum’s epic disasterclass in the finals, and Steph being an all time great.
Don’t let your recency bias taint that year. No need to back to the future just to diss this year’s team.
They got hot at the right time! Wiggins was a legitimate all star, Klay was still producing, and poole had some huge moments. And as a Celtics fan it pains me to say but Tatum sucked in the finals lol
Steph Curry is literally one of the best players ever.
“Win a real ring Steph”
I don’t want to talk about it.
Clippers/Nuggets injured and Grizzlies inexperienced/missing Ja in important games. In the East, the inexperienced Celtics made it to the Finals. Warriors definitely do not win if the Bucks made it and toss up but harder opponent in the Heat.
Wiggins and Curry were great. Poole got hot in round 1 and helped us get to round 2 single handlely almsot. Also Moody had some great games(WCF). Had some really good bench players. It was just a group effort.
They had shooters and defenders. It was a great year.
Say what you want about Poole, Warriors miss his scoring ability. Klay had a donut tonight in the fourth quarter. Wiggins 3 points. Poole is at least giving you 10 in those moments.
Steph was immortal in Game 4, then Boston folded soon after that.
How was the league weak when the Celtics are still the best team in the East and Warriors easily dispatched them in the Finals?
They scored more points than the other teams
