Warriors by 12 is my prediction. Warriors - Celtics 101-89.

I don't think it will be a blowout because Celtics have Brown/Smart/Rozier who are top tier defenders that can score buckets when they need to. No other team has a collection of defensive guards like them. And they got a PG that can come close to Curry's offensive explosiveness. Durant tho kinda tips the scales.

I'll watch Boston feed so I can see Boston commentators 'enjoy' Celtics loss.

Yes, I do love watching world burn.

Yeah but you think Kyrie can come close to matching Curry's offensive output, Jaylen Brown can match Klay with his defense, and hope Marcus Morris matches Green's chippiness and scrappiness. But yah they got no one to get Durant, although you are hoping Tatum and Horford can be as effective as he is. If there is one team in the NBA that can challenge the Warriors at the end, it is the Celtics

If he plays with the same poise he's played with so far I think it's safe to say he's going to be an amazing player... but we will see

Warriors look like the better team for 45 minutes, C's stay scrappy and keep it within 6-12 most of the game, then get it real close and have a shot at the end. Won't guess if we actually pull it off or not.

Chuck is just an entertainer, as a Celtics fan i don't take his basketball analysis serious.

Barkley: Who wins the east right now?
Shaq: Celtics, they're rollin.
Kenny: I don't think anyone beats Lebron in a week.
Chuck: With IT back nobody in the east beats the Cavs.

See the difference. Chuck asks a question once everyone answers, he changes the parameter and IT is suddenly healthy.

All good though. Boston's time will come, when? Only time will tell.

Guards: Holiday, White, Pritchard
Wings: Tatum, Brown, Hauser
Bigs: Porzingis, Horford, Kornet
