Man , the 2 worst “fan” bases besides lakers team because of bron on their team that could the make finals made it ..Hoping celts in 4 just to end the season and on to the draft later on in June ..

I assume the majority will be on the Warriors side. More curious on how many games it will go

Siberian13 · 05-30-2022, 03:40 PM

10 to 4 Warriors so far as expected. But I don’t think the Boston fans have chimed in yet

smalltown · 05-30-2022, 03:57 PM

I took Warriors in 6. Just too many weapons. And the Celtics have been Jekyll and Hyde - one game they look unstoppable the next they look out of sync and somewhat lost.

mallowciraptor · 05-30-2022, 04:24 PM

Celtics have been so inconsistent from game-to-game but can't help but feel like they are going to pull this series out.

Boston in 6 games.

RogerGodahell · 05-30-2022, 04:39 PM

I'll go with the Celtics in 7. I believe GS will have to shoot the lights out from 3 to win and or Poole will have to be incredible off the bench.

Smart and White should be able to keep up with and harass Curry all game on the perimeter. Boston has them beat in every other matchup except maybe the bench but even that's close. I like Boston's chances here.

Warriors should sweep, took them in 5. Boston snuck by in back to back series against a team with 1 guy that could score. Draymond will rattle either Smart or Tatum. Celts will probably steal a game where they hit 20 3's, otherwise they should get handled rather easily

Warriors in 6.

Too many weapons clicking at the right time and getting healthier. Compared to inexperienced Celtics who have had to grind out the last two series.

Best defensive rating by a team this season:

106.9 — Warriors
106.9 — Celtics

Dubs in five or six.

Aren’t both teams considered solid defensively?

Above the Rim · 05-30-2022, 06:57 PM

In "Team Defensive Efficiency" the Celtics and Warriors finished the season as the top 2 teams. So you can't really give the defensive edge to either. Both outstanding defenses.

I am looking at the points in the paint and rebounding as keys to look for in this series. Golden State has dominated their opponents in these 2 categories. How well can the Celtics play in the paint and rebound compared to Golden State?

Outside shooting - I just can't imagine not giving the nod to Golden State in this department.

Coaching - Celtics have very good coaching, but is it better than Kerr and staff?

Experience - again, gotta give the nod to Golden State.

Depth - Golden State is stacked.

X factor = Looney is playing the best ball maybe of his career.

Go Warriors !

regularp · 05-30-2022, 07:35 PM

Wiggins will probably be the bellwether for this series. If he keeps up his aggressive play on the offensive end, I'd be shocked if GS lost. If he plays like Harrison Barnes in 2016, this will be a dogfight.

Jericho · 05-30-2022, 08:54 PM

Celtics in 6

Siberian13 · 05-31-2022, 04:22 PM

Still about 65% picking the Warriors. About what I figured

I was going Celtics in 7, can I amend that to 6?
