[4/5]

I'm very curious to see how the Celtics adjust to playing a competent offense with multiple options.

Or how the Warriors will adjust to playing an actual defense.

[VinylGuy]

so who is the favorite?

Both the Grizzlies and Mavs ranked in the top 6 of defensive rating this season. The Warriors finished with a higher rating for the season than the Celtics.

And yet, it was obvious the Mavs couldn't guard and the Celtics were elite. Trust your eyes.

I haven't watched any of the Western Conference games, but the Cs did seem to have some easier opponents:

An old/flawed Brooklyn
A Middleton-less Milwaukee
An injured Miami

Did GS benefit from similar things on their path to this point?

They would have lost to the Grizz if Ja didn't get hurt. Nuggets were depleted. Luka has literally never played with an All Star.

They were up 2-1 against Ja.

Just using my eyes, bro.

i hate in sports when someone says "i got it!" but then they miss it.

[Coach]

Everything is going against Boston. Lack of rest, home court advantage, health, playoff experience, Vegas odds, and more.

But I’m optimistic because of their defense and coaching. I’m happy for at least four more games of basketball. Bring it on.

Let's go Celtics.

[verb_to_trust]

We are all Celtics now

Leaning towards Warriors in 7. Home court and Finals experience break the tie of a very even matchup.

Kerr is thinking about running for office, not stopping Jayson, Jalen and Marcus.

Unrelated, but yesterday I took my seven year old daughter to the store and we got the matching Eastern Conference Champion locker room t-shirts. She's been enjoying this playoff run but doesn't fully understand what's happening haha

I’m just happy for the long suffering fan bases in both the Boston and Bay areas. So deserving.
