I think Boston match up really well with GSW and will win in 6

Last team I wanted GSW too see out the east.

Going to be a great series.

Dubs in 6.

Celtics in 6. The last time the Warriors played a good defensive team they were a Ja Morant injury and Brooks suspension away from losing the series.

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.

as great as boston is, they faced milwaukee & miami without reliable second scorer and both times went to game 7, gsw has klay, poole & wiggins and theyre much better 3pt shooting team than milwaukee & miami and just like those teams, they can defend too, so its gonna be their biggest test yet

my belief is that gsw will win the chip, but well see

I'll root for the lesser of two evils. Go Boston.

The Warriors don't rely on threes at all.

Celtics are a tough matchup defensively, but they haven't shown the ability to close games, and I think they get thoroughly outcoached.

Celtics in 6. Best defense in the league and have high end talent in the Jays. Very switchable as well, and easily the toughest matchup for GSW yet who frankly were not tested at all this run.

538 has Celtics at 83% to win as well

I think this is either seven game series or the Warriors win in 5.

Should be a great series. I don't trust the Celtics' execution in close games.

I wouldn't be surprised if Wiggins outplays Brown.

They're battle tested. Boston's defense will keep them in games. But the Warriors experience alone will win them this series.

Warriors in 6 . Boston goes into way too many droughts.. Boston will need attack the rim and out rebound them . You can’t give curry and friends extra shots . Smart on curry. How Wiggins does defensively will be huge for the warriors . Still I like the warriors overall.

That drop defense from the bigs isn't going to cut it against GS. Horford will need to switch at the 3 point line. Timelord, the way he's been looking lately with that bum knee, will get played off the court against GS's spread offense.

Here's hoping the days off can get him a little more right. Smart and GP2 as well. Lets have a mostly healthy finals.

I actually like how we match up with GSW but Boston bad moments are concerning

Warriors in 5, too much talent.

Citing 538 is terrible.

Their picks lately have been horrific.
