Warriors. I want revenge and to shut Draymond up.

They're just putting Steph into foul trouble with ridiculous calls to ensure LA wins

How stupid do you have to be to step over the backcourt as a nba player.

Warriors are definitely more dangerous than the Lakers. I feel we have a better chance against the Lakers, but I do also want revenge against the Warriors.

That's why they are sometimes called the Fakers!

Luckily, this did not age well

Same here, if we ever get to the Finals I want the Warriors again, even if Steph is at the peak of his powers right now. Regarding the Lakers though, the two games we've played against them were extremely close, and that's before they retooled their roster. I have no idea how we'll perform against this new Lakers squad, which looks more physical and cohesive as a unit.

I'm really hoping the Nuggets come out of the West though, at least I won't feel as bad if we lose to them

It's the opposite for me.

Losing to the Nuggets would be awful!

Nuggets totally have no finals experience.

Lol so what? They're a really good team with an MVP and the number one seed out west. You would rather get Son'd again by the warriors or lose to the lakers and have them have more championships than us? Gross. It's a no brainer on which team would be better to lose to if we had to lose. To me anyway.

WE ARE NOT LOSING but this. :nod:

Nothing wrong with losing to the defending champs.

GSW and Steph are legit champs.

The Nuggets haven't won anything.

What does that say about the Celtics if they lose to a team that has never made the finals in their franchise history?

And the Celtics will beat the Lakers if it's a Lakers vs. Celtics finals.

I feel confident we would beat the Nuggets in a finals series moreso than against the Dubs or the Fakers.

Exactly!

So if the Cs lose to the Nuggets in the finals, that's awful!

There's just no way the Nuggets are better than the Cs.

I would like all of the series to go 7 games. Except ours. Finish the Sixers in 5.

Dunno how Booker and KD will be able to sustain this. They got no help.
