(3) Warriors vs (2) Celtics 2021-22 FINALS

[calsnowskier]

Agree with this. I think the Warriors win.

The Celtics chance, imo, comes down to Mahcus Smaht.

We know what they're likely to get from Tatum and have a strong idea what they'll get from Brown.

They know they will get defense from Smart, but his offense is pretty inconsistent and only shows up about every 3rd game or so. If he can be good offensively in at least 3 or 4 games...they have a good shot at winning.

Or if Smaht rolls into Steph…

Spoiler

I know. It was not a “dirty” play. Just overly aggressive for a regular season game. A bit of an eye roll, but NOT dirty.

Not a hugs BBALL fan but when the Celtics are on I watch them. And I learned some things this year. 1. That Giannis dude is a bad, bad, man. 2. Damn near impossible to stop Steph. 3. Boston really lacks a shooting guard and live and die by the three. 4. Boston has a really good defense and maybe better bench depth? Maybe! This being said I think the Warriors will win but I have to be part homer Boston in 7

Yeah, that's all accurate. This series can go either way. These teams are pretty close to each other. The Warriors have a really good defense, too, which often gets overlooked because of all the flashy, splashy threes.

Makes sense and I don't know a lot about their D, I just know if Steph stays healthy they are very hard to beat in a series.

I thought he was a great columnist and one of my favorites. He's aged quite a bit recently. I haven't seen anything from him in a while.

I don't like him

This was all rigged. Of course the Celtics would be declared the first ever Eastern Conference champion and the first Larry Bird trophy goes to a Celtic.

Then, why not the Lakers and the Magic Johnson trophy?

Adam Silver is probably having a meeting right now to try to get to the bottom of this.

“The Rig” can only go so far. Not sure even a very skilled ref can get a middling HS team to the NBA Finals.

Just remember what happened to those two guys this years playoffs and maybe it'll help you decide

Warriors in 6

Klay Thompson Finals MVP

 

[calsnowskier]

GSW in 7

both teams take one on the road.

He doesn't play defense anymore after his injuries it seems. Warriors allow 115 offense with him on the court these playoffs. But he has dray, Wiggins Looney next to him so I guess he doesn't have too.

We will see. Celtics have the perfect defenders to slow down both curry and klay

They are in Vegas, but a lot of pundits are picking the Celtics.

Warriors are 22-2 in playoff series in the Steve Kerr era. In every series they have won at least one road game.

 

[msgkings322]

Supposidly (if you believe the talking heads in Boston media - lmfao) the Celtics are "built" to beat the Warriors. Hopefully they are right but this will go 7

They are easily the toughest defense the Ws have faced. Their length and ability to switch everything always gives the Ws fits. That's why it will be the toughest matchup for the Ws this playoffs.

I give the Ws the edge but not by much. The Ws defense is also really good (a slight bit below Boston) but their offense is better than Boston's by a greater margin. Too many scorers on the Ws, plus more championship pedigree.

Which half is which?

I guess middle eastern is considered white by the government but not really socially.
