Why does it seem like the Golden State Warriors are the Boston Celtics’ kryptonight?

The recent road tilt between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors has sparked discussions about the Celtics’ choice of strategy, shot selection, and the impact of key players when playing the Dubs. More specifically, why Golden State seems able to rattle Boston even when the Celtics have the clear advantage in terms of both talent and record.

The game, which went into overtime, showed off the Warriors’ offensive capabilities when hot, with 50 shots made, including 26 by the dynamic duo of Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson. The Celtics, on the other hand, struggled with their shooting, managing only 41.2% from the field.

What is it that the Warriors know that the Celtics don’t? Are they Boston’s kryptonite?

On a recent episode of the WEEI show “Gresh and Fauria,” the eponymous hosts do their best to find out. Check it out above!
