538 has Celtics at 83% to win as well
Citing 538 is terrible.
Their picks lately have been horrific.
They've been really high on them all season. I haven't followed their other picks throughout the season but their model has been consistently high on the Celtics, even when they were middling earlier. Looks like the C's are rewarding that faith right now

Warriors in 5. Too much scoring power.

I can’t remember the last time I hated both teams/franchises in the Finals. I’ll probably just watch the last 5 min of each game and call it a day.

I have no dog in the fight and dislike both teams... will say C's in 6, too much size and physicality IMO.

Celtics in 6
Getting over the heat probably was a huge relief to the team after what happened in the bubble
I feel like the Celtics are going to play their best series in the finals after completing the revenge tour against the east

Celtics will get more rest for the finals and will look a lot better.

Re: The 2022 NBA Finals | (3) Golden State Warriors VS. (2) Boston Celtics
I envision Boston running out of gas at the end of games and playing sloppy because of it. GS in 5 I think.

I think they will have White and Pritchard chasing Curry, similar to what the Raptors did with FVV
Have smart vs stronger Klay and quicker Poole.

Its hard to hunt against GS. They have some of the most honed and practiced hedging i've ever seen. Likely from all those years playing Harden. Guys are going to have to just cook their man.

I just hope both teams are healthy and 100% ready to compete.
I'm going with the Warriors in 6, but would not be surprised to see the Celtics winning.

Warriors in 5 or 6. Williams injury likely a back breaker

Celtics two best players play a midrange game. Warriors rely on threes. Celtics defense will stop that 4 out of 7 games. Celtics game is more consistent and will lead them to win the series and I don’t like the Celtics at all.
You know the Warriors have been outshot from 3 basically in every series of the playoffs right? They’ve been feasting off of paint points and midrange shots mostly.
