There are also a few high profile pundits picking the celts to win it all. Not saying they are correct but that certainly sways public opinion.

The statistical models have loved the Celtics too. They were the clear favorite on 538 and theringer’s models. With good reason. Obv the Warriors’ easier path and extra rest will help them but in a totally neutral series I’d take the Celtics.

I just checked and they updated the C's finals win probability to 43 percent. It was in the 80s.

80 was too high but 43 seems low. The C's have the right pieces to beat the warriors they just have to be men about it (sorry for gendering them).

I'm torn. I want Jimmy to snap but also think the Celtics have a much better chance at taking out Steve Curry.

My only hope is that with age he becomes less soft.

Also, Celtics totally giving life to the Heat here. Anyone's game.

If Butler continues this, Celts are finished. Tatum and Brown getting out super starred.
