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

[Shanemansj13]

You got three of five right, MJ, LeBron & West. The other two are Kobe & Steph. Saw the stat this morning.

Of course it's Kobe. Brainfart. Figured the other one was Steph but didn't know about the rebounds

But the Celtics are also evil. You're choosing between the Klingons and the Romulans. lol

Well I can see why a Laker fan would see it that way lol. So back in the day I rooted for the Lakers over my grandpas Celtics and we actually used to argue about it so maybe this is my way of dealing with that lol.

Pretty impressive list of all time greats.

I know, I’m torn but they were my Grandpas team and I feel that level of hate for the Warriors. I also love how this particular Celtics team plays. Requesting a pass this one time for all the above.

I’m a Sixers fan and a Sixers fan only. I really just want to be entertained. Warriors have Philly roots and they aren’t the Cs so that’s where my rooting interest is.

 

[fightinfunbags]

The beatdowns the Celtics have gave you really hurt, didn't they.

Nah. I just root against the most racist sports fans in the world. They shouldn’t have nice things.

Looks like a lot of so-called experts think Boston might win.

Listening to BSPN and they're saying Boston is the better team. Yeah, not so sure about that one...

 

[Robotech]

Just what the Warriors needed.

Congrats on the title @msgkings322 @CitySushi and @Robotech

Monty just delivered the kiss of death to the Celtics.

Social media and NBA media is a mixed bag and kind of all over the place with predictions, rankings, etc.

I think either way whichever team wins the finals will have deserved it. Both teams are incredible defensive teams and have lots of individual talent as well. The other thing is that both teams are home grown. Both teams have most of their key components as guys they drafted or developed. Pretty incredible in this day and age of the NBA.

A lot of the analysts and the prediction models love the Celtics. I've been saying on this thread the Warriors are the heavy underdogs, but you guys don't believe me! It's actually fun to see them as the underdog, though. Hopefully, they are extra motivated.

Check out these projections by the stat nerds. ESPN has the Celtics at 85.9% to win the title. 538 has the Celtics at 79% chance to win. I'm thinking that these prediction models are missing something because these two teams appear to be much closer than that. 85.9% would be reasonable if the Celtics were facing the Sacramento Kings.

When you said romulan it brought back some good memories. The romulan weed strain is one of the best I've tried.

Not from what I've seen.

Most are saying GS.

No solace in the fact that a bunch of racist sports fans are represented by, and are actively cheering for, the very group of people they *allegedly * despise the most?

I like my sports uncomplicated.

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.

So, I'm in a win-win situation here.

If the Celtics win, they have more chips than the Lakers.

If the Dubs win, the " Curry is better / equal to LeBron " bullshit narrative continues.

Either way, I'm happy.

Well they are a media company that's based in New England (Bristol, CT)

I'll go with the"Dubs win" scenario...

That's probably true, but I see a lot of people saying Boston might win. It seems to be pretty split to me, though I haven't researched this or anything.
