@@user-wj4nj3jt9e HAHAHA - NO WAY YOU ARE FRUITCAKE!
My biggest concern as a C's fan is those points in the game when the Celtics seem to lose focus and lose the game. Game 7 saw this. Up 13 in the 4th and suddenly Miami within a bucket.
And it won’t be jimmy shooting that 3 this time lol 😂
@@BUSTAMOVE_ARAB facts 😂
Don’t forget heat forgot how make free throws and took 3 points for foot on line
@@BUSTAMOVE_ARAB jimmy is deadly though
@@REALmknj he is great as any one of them but they need more players. He cannon be playing 48 minutes in a game. He was downright tired by the end of the game.
I guarantee that either the Celtics or the Warriors will win.
I gotta agree
Yeah but Stephen A said lebrons lakers will definitely lose this series
true
R u sure you wanna go out on that limb? We'll be nice and let you rethink that. Take your time.
Nah i think it's the Suns
watching this video in 2024 🤣
All the Warriors slander before this year… that experience is gonna count so much in this series
I basically doubted the warriors all season and now look at me
Dubs are my favorite team, and i expected them to lose to the suns, so i am very happy this year.
Honestly. I had them out in the conference finals because going into the playoffs they were rotating injuries with their big 3. But the biggest surprise was how all their role players really stepped up.
@@lk5388 u play mk?
Even though Celtics don’t have finals experience . They don’t have a lot of playoff xp
celtics have plenty ecf experience where at some point they might be the only playoff series going on, we have the experience dont sleep
As a warriors fan, the celtics and the grizz were the only two teams i was genuinely concerned about in this playoffs. Not even the suns, or the bucks, or the heat.
Edit: I was not worried too much about the bucks because their best closer in Middleton was injured and they can't guard our shooters as well as the celtics. Bucks defense is best in the paint and we can live with giannis getting to the basket because 3 > 2.
I was a little worried with Denver honestly until the 1st game.
Oh I couldn't agree more with you. The Celtics this year have been a really really good team and right now they showed why they should be considered one of the better teams in the NBA for the next I don't know decade if they can manage it. Their defense has been awesome and their offensive been awesome and Jason Tatum has really exploded this year so I'm pretty worried about them. But let's wait for the first couple of games to go by and see what happens. I get a feeling this is going to be a knuckle dragging seven game series as a worst case scenario.
@@billdover3165 Tatum could choke tho Tatum hasn’t played good in close games against the heat in the 4th, him and brown too
I was worried about Giannis for sure. But yeah, the Celtics have played the Dubs the best out of anyone the past 8 years.
yeah me too, only because of Smarts who likes to dive around fishing for feet to injure.. LOL
Warriors were inconsistent because of injury Casey. Their defense was top 5 before Dray went out. Klay came back. First half of season they were nearly top 3 in offense and defense.
Who’s to say they won’t get injured again
@@hoffer3378 they probably could since the Celtics play dirty
@@jamiebongo731 not really dirty, but like really physical.
@@aneeshramakrishnan1958 yeah especially that one dude I forget his name the light skin off the bench he's sturdy down low
@@hoffer3378 who's to say Celtics won't get injured
I think that's where the Warriors early dominance pays off. The Celtics are coming off 2 extremely physical 7 game series and by the end of the Heat series that fatigue really started to show,but fortunately Heat had the same issue. Warriors are way more well rested and have way more energy due to dominating their respective matchups. This is probably going to show in the Finals
Yup this is the best comment i have seen so far. Lot of people not considering that. 2x back to back game 7s are EXHAUSTING. PLus browns and williams strain amd ankle sprain though they can put some medications to reduce the pain, it still need days or weeks to heal and to recover. And games will just get intense from this point on
@@Beeman2892 fact
@@Beeman2892 Well good thing they’re gonna have a couple days of rest
I look at it the other way, these Celtics are now Battle tested & ready for the Finals. They are a young team so energy levels & adrenalin should still be high. Only Horford is an elder at 35 but he has so much motivation making his first Finals appearance. Just hoping it goes 6 or 7.
@@MartyMcFly3 exactly we should try to catch them off guard with the physicality and steal game 1.
FiveThirtyEight also had the Mavs slightly favored over the Warriors, 54% to 46%. It was not anywhere near that close a series.
Yeah these idiots have no idea what theyre talking about. Theyre a big underdog, if they had an 80% chance to win then Id bet my saving on them.
5-38 had the Celtics as favorites since before the all star break, when you still would have gotten 41 dollar for one in a bet. The model was quite good this year, predicted the Lakers bad season from day one & some more good picks. It underestimated the Warriors, though. Also from the beginning.
@@wortkramer7683 the warriors are a nightmare for stats guys.
I agree, they almost got swept as well.
@@wortkramer7683 everyone has been underestimating the warriors some even said nuggets were beating them. And all the teams beat the warriors 3-1 in the season but warriors are a different payoff beast

@@AhmadAli-uk4sb Didn’t the warriors get sent home by the lakers? 😂
Ws went 3-9 on the season against Denver, Memphis, Dallas combined.
They went 12-4 against the same 3 teams in the playoffs.
This is the first time all season that GS has even remotely been close to fully healthy.
That 83% chance of Boston beating GS is largely based on regular season data.
Not saying that the Celtics can't win this series, of course they can. Their defense is going to make the Warriors work much harder than they've had to in the playoffs.
But GS also has a much better defense than people think. And their rebounding, for a small team, is extraordinary.
No, Boston isn't going to cruise through this series. They're in for a bumpy ride.
Smart comment with good insight. Playoffs is a different season
@@christophermeyer3115 Hmm..i obviously didn't know with certainty that GS would beat Boston. But I did know that people were talking so much about the Celtics defense that they were seriously underrating the Warriors defense. As it turned out, holding Boston under 100 in 4 games, including the last 3 in a row, indicated GS had a heckuva D, and it's not just Draymond. Wiggins was great on D, so was GP2, Klay held his own and Steph has improved a lot from 2016 Steph that was great on offense but a big defensive liability. Looney did well too. This Warriors championship team may not have quite the offense earlier versions had when KD was there, but this defense they have now is far better.
Honestly your titles are great you pull people in with comment people would dislike and it definitely works
1st round: "Jokic will be be unstoppable" "warriors have no big man"
After: Jokic need help
2nd round: "Warriors struggle against grizz height and toughness" "No big man"
After: "Ja got injured" "Inexperienced"
3rd round: "Warriors would not defeat the messiah Doncic" "Look how the Suns ended"

i'm waiting for their reason if Celtic lose against the warriors.. lol
True and people made excuses smh
Celtics in 4
@@zermanman9891 good luck
Same can be said for Boston.
Brooklyn were favourites in the first round.
Milwaukee were favourites in the second.
And the Miami series was pretty much split even.
Both teams that have made the finals have been doubted the whole way through.
The Celtics definitely have a strong team and star players in Tatum and Smart, but they are still a very long journey away from performing at their opponents’ level and have a lot of room to improve before then. Warriors in Playoff season is a totally different beast and will look to sweep every obstacle they encounter with the current death lineup and a coach like Kerr. The Dynasty lives on strong!
@Sauce Robert Williams and Horford are also 6’9. And Robert Williams has a bigger wingspan. Although I see golden state going for the perimeter more and getting way more rebounds.
How dare you mention smart and not jaylen brown lol .
@Sauce guess he couldn't grab rebounds 🤣🤣🤣

09:45 If they win, this will actually be their seventh championship in franchise history.
What nobody seems to recognize is that Boston has been injured too. Every single player on the team has been banged up during this run
I agree Warriors are the odds-on favorite to win the title given how potent their whole offensive system is. Boston needs to solve the turnover issues. When best offense in playoffs meets best defense, usually the best offense wins.
Do people forget Warriors have a top defense too lol
Both teams have turnover issues,
Did you forget the saying “defence wins championships”? I’m guessing by “usually” you mean in the last 10 years?
You were correct about their turnovers it's literally what cost them the finals, how tf can you average 16+ turnovers a game
The Dubs do have homecourt advantage in this 2022 Finals and hope that they will take every single play locked in 🔒
New vid 🔥
I've said it before and I'll say it again, the Warriors will be the 2022 NBA Champions, Steven Curry first Finals MVP!
Congrats steve curry 🤣
This aged well
He said the warriors will win watch the video buddy
I love that you blurred the “17%” in the thumbnail a little bit, as though it could be any other number lol.
Thank you for the analysis, Tyler Herro
If James Wisman comes back 75% of himself the warriors will be a PROBLEM nobody wants to try to solve next year if they can keep Poole. Steph, Klay, Wiggins, Dray, Wiseman that lineup is so versatile with Poole, Kuminga, GPII & Moody off the bench 🔥🔥🔥

I can see the warriors winning in 5 to 7. Keep in mind they haven't lost a game at chase center in the playoffs.
Celtics have the best road record these playoffs and have not lost 2 in a row since January (not counting the loss in Toronto when 4 starters didn’t play)
Yeah the Heat were also undefeated at home before dropping 3 home games to the Celtics
Thats because you played subpar injured teams, and you know It is the truth
@@javigar133 yeah like the Cs havent missed starters and Smart and Timelord didnt play banged up half the series lol
And they have just handed the Warrior their first lost in the very first game of the finals at chase center...
Well said numbers don’t lie
I think this game would come down to which teams can limit their turnovers the most cuz both teams have awful turnover numbers in a game but the Dubs have that many amount of turnovers due to their passing and motion game which made them so tough to defend while the Celtics has these turnovers most of it is due to individual errors. And also, Steph’s gravity on offense is so tough to match due to his movements off the screens and his ability to relocate to his spot, making the defense have to double him most of the time thus leaving guys like Klay and Poole wide open. I got the Dubs in this year’s Finals on 6 or 7 games at max.
Did you see the part where tatum had the most turnovers by far??
I think you’ll be surprised by the lack of doubling from Boston. Even against Giannis there weren’t too many instances and the help always came from down low as opposed to leaving shooters wide open.
Good take. Turnovers and who can stay healthier for most of the games. If iguadala is health then it's going to be a major factor in defending brown and tatum. If rob wiliams and marcus smart are healthy it will be good for celtics against there guards and for draymond. Hopefully it's a series that competitive but I hope celtics can upset The 3 time champion
This certainly aged well...
He said the warriors will win watch the video buddy
I agree with you. Let's go Dub.
One of my favorite TH-camrs, you really need to be get paid by espn 😂💯
Good luck with the Celtics
Every team that played against the Warriors in the playoffs was expected to win
Warriors got a lot of rest so they should win game 1, and a lot of time to prepare too.
Had 1 out of the 3 key players on GSW been out then yes, the celtics have a chance to win 1 game, it wouldnt be early on in the series and theyd win by 5 pts or less.
3 superstars coming back showing out should be a boost for golden state
A lot of rest could also mean rust
i cant wait to come back to this video knowing that the warriors won the finals
Nice.
Well the Celtics just won game 1 with a subpar Tatum. Still sticking with that prediction?
Yes
Yes.
My biggest issue with Boston is that we are so inconsistent, Tatum struggled to get inside against Bam. Does he face the same issue against Draymond and Looney?
I'm a Warriors fan. We have the same issue with inconsistency. This will be an interesting series.
Warriors struggled with turnovers especially against highly defensive teams, a lot turnovers happened against Grizzlies but they couldnt turn it to a bucket, i believe Celtics with a lot more star powers could make some difference with Jaylen Brown, Tatum and Horford.
Ball is round bruh.. and this is the finals.. Anything can happen, and I'm just gonna enjoy it.. I'm just hoping though that we don't see any blowout games cause it's really disappointing when you see them especially in the playoffs, like come on bro, show some competition at the least, at least try to win that game.. Overall, I'm hoping this series is gonna be lit..🔥🔥🔥
I will comeback to this post once the series is over. Warriors in 5 games
Advise to Celtics fans:
If you believe your team will easily beat the warriors because of the regular season records, you may need to ask Nuggets, Grizzlies and Mavs why they lost
Especially against this Warriors team right now. They are absolutely on fire and I believe the longer rest period for the Dubs will also give them an advantage.
nuggest because their second and third player was out, grizzlies because they are an unexpierenced team, last year a play in team might I add, whos superstar was out and mavs because they have only one player that would start on most other contender rosters, celtics also beat 3 teams this post season, but much better ones
@@deck3483 L take
well that helps you may say it doesnt but it certainly does not a ton but it does. It wont be easy but, we can do it.
@@andyws0108 im not saying the celtics will win, im just saying the celtics have beat harder comp this run
You're NBA Casuals and am hoops haters didnt watch the whole video, Casey picked the warriors, he said at the end of video Warriors in 7. Please just dont look at the title and watch the whole video that he picked the warriors to win the championship.
I love how the Warriors' odds to win is blurred out in the thumbnail like it could be anything lol
538 lost me when they projected early on in Wiggins career that he will be no better than James Posey and another hit piece on Andrews poor defence when critically looked at was total BS. Figures never lie, liars just figure that’s 538 for click bait.
Warriors will win in 6 or 7 for five reasons:
1. Finals experience (obviously)
2. Coaching (Steve Kerr is proven championship-level coach, while Udoka is a first-time head coach)
3. Better role players (Jordan Poole's breakout season and Wiggins found his rhythm this season and chemistry with team)
4. Team chemistry (Warriors still have the same championship big three)
5. Home court advantage (Warriors have only lost one out of 5 Finals series that the Warriors have homecourt advantage, and we all know what series is that)
Not hating on the Celtics here (and I love both the Warriors and Celtics), but it's hard to bet against Golden State with these reasons. But it will take the Warriors 6 or even 7 games because of the Celtics' superb perimeter defense.
Don’t forget that the Warriors have a longer gap period of rest till the finals compared to the Celtics! Might not be an immediate factor, but if this series goes 6 or 7, it might be the difference maker
What are your thoughts on the Celtic defense though?
True but 5-6 games
all that and still so wrong. bobo asa kpa manalo warriors mo. physicality at top-tier defense ng celtics ang lalampaso sa warriors mo kahit anong switch pa yan ok lang. asa kpa ky curry at poole, tingnan mo pano cla e massage nang celtics. ano gagawin nila ky horford sa labas? hayaan? bobo
wala nang free layups gaya nang sa dallas ksi d na kailangan e trap si curry ng ganoon kalayo kalaban cs. magdasal ka nln mg continue pa inconsistencies ng celtics sa offense mainly unforced errors pra my chance kayu. kung average lang yan, wala na asa kpa mka 7 games. chicken.
i finally liked one of ur ads ur enemy can't score XD
The official odds to win the series was with the warriors but other than that great video. Celtics in 6 baby!
they can switch but does the switch matchup well with Golden State, people keep forgetting that Golden State doesn't run an offense like any other team so all this data on Boston is based on information that isn't consistent with the team. When they met golden state during the regular season at full strength Golden State won and that was with a Steph that wasn't shooting great and Poole didn't play the entire game. They now have Klay back and Poole, with Iggy.
What about the second game when the Celtic’s had got stuff together and I know your going to say smart injured curry but yous down by like 20 when that happened and yous had a full roster
@@thomascash10 don't even matter the C's got their ass whooped 🤣🤣
@@richeyd12 enjoy you victory love the way you went and found a 2 week old comment
It's important to note that Tatum played hurt for the entire Heat series. Also: Tatum is averaging 4.3 turnovers per game this playoffs vs Luka's 4.4 & Giannis's 4.5 (don't forget that Tatum has played in more total games than both of them)
Giannis and Luka has far more playmaking responsibilities compared to Tatum. But arguable tatum spends more energy than even Giannis this playoffs.
Well you forgot one thing, Tatum completely died in the the finals
Do a wizards off-season vid
FiveThirtyEight writers have discussed in the past (like before the 2019 Finals) that their model potentially underrates the Warriors because it really dislikes Klay Thompson, even going so far as to see him as a net negative. Klay's injuries also reduce* his rating as players coming back often aren't as good, thought this is potentially over-weighted as modern treatment may mean older cases aren't as relevant.
*I believe it's still reducing his rating as they talked about it when he was coming back and I don't think he's played enough for that influence to go away, but I haven't seen them address it recently.
The Warriors have the experience and the talent. They've been taking it easy all playoffs. The Grizzlies had to break Gary's elbow to slow them down. That's not going to happen again.
The Warriors are going to wear the Celtics out and were going to see Steph and Klay turn the heat all the way up.

Celtics winning the chip
Right on Casey! More importantly - what does VEGAS say? Boston's a very talented team. But Warriors in 6. Can't wait to see what the Warriors decide with all their salary cap issues coming up in the off-season.
I’m sorry but looking back after the warriors took a fat dump in the C’s mouths I laughed and laughed when I saw this vid. No diss AM you make banger vids and I agree but you were off by a mile.
If think the matchup is pretty even when you compare player by player. GSW have more depth, while BOS plays short rotation. I would give Dubs the edge if they stay healthy (Steph's ankles) and stay focused (Draymonds's antics). But so far Cs look more banged.
Warriors were inconsistent because of injury Casey.. i mean like their defense definitely went down once Dray Got hurt, Klay Thompson coming back was absolutely big time, and i'm glad he's starting to get back into that version of Klay we know and love before that ACL tear

Warriors in 5. They can really push up the pace and put you in the blender with cutters and elite shooting, plus the Celtics have no more in the tank. If you watched those low scoring games against the Heat, there is no way they keep up with the warriors
They got a couple of day to refill the tank a little, but the warriors might come back rusty for game 1. Negatives and positives for both sides
The games are low scoring because they exert more on defense to slow down the game and play more in the half court offensive sets, then execute the fast break on turnovers. The Warriors don’t play as well when slowed down and forced into the half court. It’s all about controlling pace and the Celtics have managed to do that consistently, except when battling Giannis. But that’s a different story than making defensive stops on shooters. Defense wins championships. Warriors are also elite defensively, but they have a major size disadvantage which will give Celtics more of an edge on both ends of the court. The only thing that will lose the series for the Celtics is if they are shooting inconsistently, which has definitely been the case over the last two series. I agree the fatigue has set in on them, but they are also getting the biggest break they’ve had thus far in the playoffs. Jaylen Brown has been super sloppy with the handles lately as well. Again, I think the series is determined by the Celtics ability or inability to knock down shots and be consistent offensively. If they don’t get that under control, I think the Warriors will take it.
Lmao
Right
is that your natural vocal or you trained it, sounds really strong.
Dud nation all day 🏆
I can give you one more reason of the Warriors winning it - they're a better team together. the Celtics are a great team too, but you can tell their level of execution isn't at the Warriors'
THE DUBS WON BOYSSSS
I knew it! I told y’all lowry trade was only for the regular season we had to lose dragic for him !
I can see a finals like spurs vs cavs (young bron) where exp will beat them or a 2014 finals
Out of every team in the league, the grizz were the only team I was super worried about and all the other teams will be just an easy win for the Warriors and I'll still stand to that today
Warriors in 5 so that they can celebrate at home
But Celtics are better defensive and offensive team than Memphis
Lol..7? they blew them out in 6 on their home court winning 3 in a row. they dominated Boston😂
AM deserves way more subs
so this video just showed why kd was important on those warriors teams while also showing that people should look at the celtics as more of the title favorites. Cool 👍
You have your two top scorers turning the ball over at that rate and people think the C’s have a shot? Warriors in 6
Warriors in 6 proves Celtics have a shot dummy...lol
I don't really see any exceptional traits of this Celtics team, to me these are good but "grey" team players. I have watched a couple of games from them, they were very inconsistent in the offense, albeit being very good defensively. They showed some flopping skills against Milwaukee, hope that will not be the case in the Finals (but I think considering Marcus Smarts flopping history it is rather optimistic). On the other side GSW has a nice chemistry if they catch the rythm and have a lot of spectacular plays. It is a really deep team with good role players.
I think if the Celtics would win it would mean the team playing a boring basketball would win.
If you don’t see any exceptional traits of this team, especially defensively , I’m not sure what you were watching

This won't be an easy series for either team. I say this goes minimum 6 and likely 7 barring a catastrophic injury on one team.

All this talk about the Celtic's great defense, but I am pretty confident the Warrior's defense are actually better.

Lmao...Warriors too small
@@jimmyjay689 Find a bigger man then stud.
Yes sir
This sounds crazy but i think the Boston will somewhat imitate the defense of the 2019 raptors in the finals
Generally agree with most pts & would like to add to Tatum's problem of inconsistent efforts on D, esp complaining & stayed on the off end way too much & let opponents go 5 on 4. Example: G7 Heat series he went casually double team Herro with RW already on him & in position. Gave up a basket as Herro passed it off. He has a tendency to fall down after trying to do layup, & complain. He had a corner 3 shot & he was miring his shot & missed & STILL standing in the corner with his follow thru & slowly react while the 5 on 4 already started. These kind of events costed the Celtics at least 3-4 baskets which is about 6-8 pts. Now 6-8 pts in playoffs are hard to come by, esp against top tier defenses. Adding thos TOs he created, esp live ball ones with careless passes, that's easily another 4-6 pts & that's 12-14 pts free to your opponents!!! If Tatum changes all of the above, & what you've commented, & Brown reading better on the defense & take what's offered, I don't see how the Warriors can stop them effectively as Celtics are bigger & more versatile overall & stealth on D
Every team the Warriors have faced has been bigger, so that doesn't matter.
@@philobeddoe8342 They were not nearly defensively as good as Celtics. Celtics this season had 6 of their players got all defensive team votes. Warriors haven't seen nor being tested by stealth defense so far in playoffs while Celtics itself is stealth they concentrate, Heat and Bucks were all excellent defensive teams.
@@makgeoff uh, the Celtics don't face a team like the Warriors in the eastern conference either ......🤣🤣
Last I checked the Warriors weren't too shabby on defense.
The Warriors have 4 different players that can go off for 35-50 points on any given night. Steph doesn't even have to score for the Warriors to win.
@@philobeddoe8342 The team plays with more heart, strategy, good execution wins. So I'm just as happy if it's the Warriors or the Celtics. I just want to see good fight between them, & not affected by injuries & lack of concentration (which I hate most with Tatum).
I don't doubt one bit it'd be a different challenge to Celtics as Warriors' offense is a totally diff animal compare with prev 3 series with consistent & relentless cutting & movement. Celtics already had a taste of it in reg. season @ Golden State first half when Curry was not yet injured. That suffocating D caused them problems, while, Warriors played excellent D as well. If you haven't watched it I'd suggest you can watch the 1st hafl as that's how basketball should be played. Now is the playoffs so we only had a small glimpse of what it'd be. Both teams played hard that reg season game as it's a challenge for them to test the matchups before playoffs where they might meet.
In this comment, I'm saying the Celtics, if cleaned up all those mistakes & be 93%+ mentally focused, will definitely give Warriors fits. On offense, Warriors do not hv many Celtics players they can attack on. Conversely, Celtics can attack Curry & Poole with size if in PnR switches. If Celtics throw a GW/Brown/Tatum/Smart/Horford lineup in there, they hv all 5 excellent defensive players who can shoot 3s with adequate height & great defenders. That will present a challenge to Warriors which they have seen so far in the playoffs. Whether they can handle it or not remains to be seen. Surely, if GP comes back, that'd be great help on D.
I also wonder if Kerr will still use a lot of Looney + Green on floor at the same time. as both are non 3 pt threat I think he will do that with Horford & RW on floor to start off the game but not when GW + Horford on the floor. It's too bad that Wiseman is unavailable or this Warriors team will hv v little weakness.
7:00 we also have to acknowledge that he played two of the best defences in the league in back to back 7 game series, of course he’s gonna turn the ball over a bunch
Lmao this is a really stupid comment. The Warriors defense is better than Bucks and Heat. Led the league in defensive efficiency until Draymond went down, still finished with 2nd best rating, and they always turn it up in the Finals.
@@acommenter4252 i know I was just saying this isn’t as much a playoff tatum problem as it is defences slowing down the primary ball handler
The Celtics run to the playoffs has been so tough. It was no doubt harder than the warriors.
Maybe you’re right about celts having a harder road but they played many injured teams. And warriors have a way in big moments of making really powerfull opponents look very small.
@@acommenter4252 If you've been watching the same playoffs I have, I don't know how you could seriously say GS's defense is better than either the Bucks or Heat. Maybe it's cause in the east, the refs let them be physical like a little bit of a throwback. But just watching the games (and looking and scores), defense in the east was better than west by a longshot imo.
The add had me dying 😭
Even though about that stats as a Warrior fan, I feel like the Warriors are getting doubted to much like come on they have tons of stars but not much defense but once we get on that 3rd quarter run and when it comes to 4th quarter, we have good offense and they have good defense but we do to. So if we just keep trading buckets and everything goes well I consider your new NBA champs, Golden State Warriors.
Curry destroyed celtics defense 😭
Bruh, what do you even mean? The west was a more competitive conference this season and the warriors won it by a mile. 0 lost games at home, 0 game 7, only one game 6? Celtics were taken to game 7 twice and honestly, they beat the heat by a thread. Add to this the experience and mental toughness of the Dubs, there is no doubt in my mind about it. Warriors in 6.
I also think Dubs in 7 with all 7 games being decided by the slimmest of margins.
Warriors in 5 this will be too easy call me a casual come back to this when Im right
Warriors win in game 1
Warriors win game 2
Celtics win game 3
Warriors win game 4
Warriors win game 5
The Celtics aren't an easy team like the Nuggets and Mavericks you know.
I'm hoping for that as well. haven't lost at chase in the playoffs.
@@liamiangaming7931 gonna ignore the grizzlies?
@@gcman1111 ye
1st 2 games are in boston, no
This is great I love our boys being the underdogs for this series and for understandable reasons. It’ll just be just so much sweeter if the Celtics can prove all y’all haters wrong in the end. Go Celtics! ☘️☘️☘️☘️
am hoops, perk, skip, nick wright, all sticking with the warriors, what a weird year
Kerr learned his lesson in 2016.
Regular season is regular season, winning enough whilst having all players and gameplan ready for playoffs is key.
A playoff win is a playoff win. NBA advanced stats are still somewhat biased.
Ex. Warriors in Playoff 2022 Net rating is underrated due to their losses. They didn't really care about losing in 3 of their 4 losses.
I'm praying Boston wins.. These Warriors fans desperately need humbling
Bruh big facts personally I know more insufferable gsw fans who are saying like 4-5 games irl. While the Celtic fans ik are saying celtics in 7 or saying that the warriors are to strong for Boston and that they just hope it's close. Also all these warrior fans are saying 4 - 5 forget that the celtics have only lost back to back games 3 times out of 63 all 3 of which were when at least 2 starters were missing.
Warriors fan here, I said 5 games to the Warriors because I am guessing, but also because I root for them and want them to win so I can get my nerves out of the way. My gut feeling tells me that Celtics and Warriors will either go to game 6 or game 7. It just comes down to who wants it more. Can't underestimate the Celtics. I expect it to be a battle.
They won't get humbled no matter what. The fans made excuses when they lost to the Raptors in 2019.
you'd have better luck praying for peace.
Me too I get really sick of them.
I have the Celtics in 6 or 7. This is because at the end of the day the Celtics have their flaws, but they’ve grown throughout this whole post season. Bucks and the Heats aggressive defense really exposed the Celtics. But if you watched game 7 you can really see how tatum and brown learned to take better care of the ball and make the right reads. One thing people are forgetting is that Payton Pritchard didn’t play much the Miami series because jimmy butler would target him. This won’t be a problem during the golden state series. His 3 point range really allows brown and tatum to work. Same with grant Williams, minutes were limited due to foul trouble during the Miami series and Nets series but you could see how he shined during the bucks series. A team without someone like Kevin Durant, Giannis, and Butler: players like Payton Pritchard and Williams can play comfortably on the defensive end. Mark my words this will be the difference that will allow tatum and brown to take over the game. One thing that will scare me is if the warriors get igoudala back, and you never know when the splash brothers including Poole can get hot because the Celtics force you to take tough shots. This series will be come down to bench production or who will have the hottest shooting performance between tatum/brown and Steph/klay/poole
plz do raptors offseason
Well. Welcome to the popovich NBA Finals. With the exception of Spo (but a great X and Os coach nonetheless), the bucks featured the battle within the same tier. Now it is 1st tier vs 2nd tier coach pops disciples going at each other. Bottom line, like the bucks, it all boils down to coaching adjustments.
As to the near meltdown, maybe ime has confidence with the boys. He said once in the brooklyn series that if he does not see anything wrong, he wont call a timeout. Anyway let us see what is next.
And another thing to mention. Both have great ownership and front offices. Ironically, joe lacob was part of the 2008 celtics ownersip. So... it is kind of a reunion party with the owners 😄😄
Well as Mavs won only 1 game, I just hope the Warriors will do the same with the Celtics, GSW in Game 5 🤔👍
Warriors struggled with turnovers especially against highly defensive teams, a lot turnovers happened against Grizzlies but they couldnt turn it to a bucket, i believe Celtics with a lot more star powers could make some difference with Jaylen Brown, Tatum and Horford.
Warriors always a turnover prone team but somehow they still managed to win despite that
Well they are a pass first team.
Celtics have been just as bad w TOs. Dont worry, their TOs will cancel each other out
Memphis was also the most athletic and longest defense in the playoffs. It was a good preparation for this Celtics team.
@@ttmho96 i was impressed in their series vs Bucks, it was a really good series and i was expecting the winner of that series would win it all. Grizzlies Warriors series was really sloppy, turnovers everywhere especially when Ja was out, Grizzlies offense was halted and Warriors still had a lot of turnovers despite having advantage of Ja's absence.
