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.
I just checked and they updated the C's finals win probability to 43 percent. It was in the 80s.4/5 wrote: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.

The C's have the right pieces to beat the warriors they just have to be men about it (sorry for gendering them).Coach wrote:I just checked and they updated the C's finals win probability to 43 percent.
