I have more confidence in the Celtics in game 5 than game 6. The Celtics have responded to the challenge all year and seem to have better focus on the road setting. I still feel the Celtics are the better overall team but the Warriors clearly have the best player which is concerning because they haven't found an answer for him yet

I don't have a feel on who wins the series, I really thought Celtics needed to win that game 4.

I’ve voted Dubs in 7 in every one of these. Seems as likely now as ever. This has been a pick’em series from the start. The game 1 hot takes in both directions — first in Q3 for The Dubs and then after for the Cs — have been proven as absurd as they came off at the time.

I think this is the game where Klay goes off finally. He's been solid the last two games, but hasn't had a huge impact. I think seeing that its a big game at home, he comes in focused and drops 25-30 pts and the Warriors win by double-digits.

In a 7 game series, the better team always wins… Celtics is the better team, so they will win it… sorry steph

Best 2 out of 3 now. Gotta think the Dubs are the faves on paper with 2 games at home. But on the other hand the Celtics have not lost back to back games all postseason and have been better on the road than at home. Gonna be a dogfight imo.

I'd love to see a huge Tatum performance in G5 but I'll take a win however we can get it.

Warriors in 4 sadly.

Can someone change the post title to PART X? Looks cheap having a 9 post thread about the finals. This is like the 8000th post in the thread, it looks cooler to post in a 8000 post thread than a 9 post thread and makes the website look more active

Whoever wins game five will win the series

It was a rhetorical question - what a travesty it’s not on today

All i'm rooting is for game 7 and no blowouts in any remaining games. Who will be exposed? Stay tuned

100% agree. Waiting three days and skipping Sunday in favour of Monday is absurd.

The momentum and fan interest of this series would be sky high if the cadence of the games wasn’t so far apart.

I voted dubs in 7, as i did from the start.

But rn the only prediction i can make is that whoever wins the next game will also win game 5.

Been voting Boston in 7 since Brooklyn

I think Brown is establishing himself as a top 10-15 player in the league and Boston’s clear-cut best guy. Have been super impressed by him this series.

Seems like the TV execs want Monday - Thursday - Sunday instead of Sunday - Thursday - Sunday.
