Poll: Celtics vs. Warriors Series Predictions

[Phantom255x]

I got Celtics in 6.

I do think this is going to be a very tough series since Golden State is battle-tested, "been there, done that", have HCA and they're obviously going to be well-rested and getting reinforcements back too. But screw it, I'm picking the C's to win in 6. I believe in this squad and I know they'll give it their all.

 Celtics in seven.  If you haven't been watching,  the NBA will do everything in its power to get the extra money for a seven games series.

 Boston or Golden State will have to really beat down the opponent to achieve a different outcome then seven games.

If it goes 7 games my heart will give out for good. A road Game 7, ugh

C's in 6. Our younger legs will frustrate the Warriors. They will shoot their way to a couple wins though.

immovable object meets unstoppable force… Silver couldn’t have dreamed of a better Finals matchup. This is what I’ve been hoping for all season long. Two most talented rosters in the NBA battling it out.

yup. they are just that good.

i think we matchup well tho

IF we play smart anything is possible. This is going 6 for sure maybe 7. NBA would have it no other way

Thank you, Caesars. Prefer the C’s being underdogs. Keeps em’ focused.


Caesars Sportsbook installed the Warriors as -160 favorites over the Celtics (+140) in an intriguing best-of-seven series that tips off Thursday in San Francisco. Golden State opened as a 3-point favorite in Game 1.

Celtics in 6.

We'll split the first two, then split the next two. And win Game 5 in San Fran and win Game 6 at the Garden to hoist our 18th championship!

Sick analogy - TP

Boston in 6. Our physicality and defence will be something Golden State will struggle with.

My heart say Celtics, brain said Warriors so I’m going with my heart!! Celtics in 7!!! But bench got to play better & no Theis in game 7 against Miami, we need him to play with TimeLord not looking to good

Not convinced for Warriors. Easy path to finals with injured Nuggets & Grizzlies, overachieving Mavs. We had the worst draw (maybe Sixers beat Heat only way worse). Not saying it's a done deal, but Boston winning seems most logical. We present a fair amount of matchup problems for them. Celtics in 6.

[JBJT619]

We honestly match up really well. Smart on Curry, Brown or Tatum on Klay, and Looney nor Green will be able to hang with the athleticism of Timelord.

I’m shocked saying this, but I think our top end talent and depth are better than the Warriors. Curry will more likely than not be uncoverable, but I think Jaylen/Jayson on 2022 Klay Thompson is a winnable matchup. Poole will have Smart and White thrown at him. Williams matches well with Draymond and ups him by hitting 3s.

We just have to play GAME 7. Can't finish in 6. So, Celtics in 7!

Posted on another thread - I posted earlier that this team has earned my support when it comes to responding from adversity. They've proved it all the way through this second half of the season. They're a young and growing team, but they've got a decent amount of playoff experience. They're far from perfect and they will make mistakes and play poorly. But they're shown me that they have heart and resilience and fight, even if their execution or their mentality wavers at times. This isn't the "same old Celtics team" that's disappointed us for years. I was always confident that we would win this series, but I had a feeling it would go seven because that's how long this team needs to be able to get over its mistakes and learn from them.

I'm confident going into the Warriors series. It won't be easy, there will be times they will have fans tearing their hair out and slitting wrists. There's not going to be many games where they will win by 30 points and cruise to victory and the fans will be happy and relaxed. There's 2 teams playing and they both want to win. The Cs are still vulnerable to those mental lapses that can cost games, like almost happened last night at the end. We have to respect the ability of the opposition to disrupt us, and the team needs to maintain a healthy respect for the opposition at all times, because if you disrespect them for even 5 min and not put in 100% that's when you can lose games.

Maybe that will be easier to do in this series, because while it was easy to dismiss Miami as "a bunch of G-leaguers" Golden State has a much different pedigree. Steph and Klay will severely punish any mental lapses. But I think we were the better team against Miami, and also against GS, even if the Warriors have their Big Three, so do we. I think it will go 7 because the Warriors have loads of experience. But if we play the way we can play I think we should win.

So Cs in 7, it's been 12 years since we were in this position so let's enjoy every minute of it, the ups and downs
