I hope the Celtics win by 40 but I think the Warriors are going to come out and try to make a statement that they can waltz into anyone's home court and take their hearts and fans by the end of the game.

If the Celtics win this, will they throw a parade like the Pistons did?

I honestly am torn between who I want to win tonight.

Obviously im a warriors fan, but we have nothing to prove if we win or lose this game.

If the Celtics win, it will further fuel the narrative that they have overtaken the Cavs as the team to beat in the east, and I really like what they have done since that devestating Hayward injury. I like how they have rallied together. I dont view them as a threat to the Warriors, but I view them as a huge threat to the stability of the eastern conference and LeBrons legacy.

Heres to a great game for both teams, will be must see TV for sure.

P.S. The Celtics ALWAYS play us tough. They broke our 50+ game home win streak during the 73 win season.

Not hard to imagine:

Celtics fan 1: "I **** called Kyrie being the GOAT in 1980 you guys are all retards"

Celtics fan 2: "Why are we so underrated? When is Boston ever going to get some love?"

Celtics fan 3: "Hur Hur Hur you peons proven wrong again. Boston fans are clearly the most intelligent on earth"

You forgot one crucial point, the threads will be created by non-Celtic fans.

I could be wrong, but I just don't see the Celtics having enough firepower to keep with the Warriors' offense. Their defense is great, but Warriors have too many weapons for them to guard.

Will be a tight win for either team today. There will be no blowout at all.

Dubs by 25. Come get some.

If Celtics win means nothing, there are still a lot of great teams in the milky way that they have not played with yet.

Best record in the NBA vs 2nd best record in the NBA

13 game winning streak vs 7 game winning streak

Kyrie vs Steph

Celtics young talent vs Warriors experienced champions

Stevens vs Kerr

Hoping for a good game 8-)
