First! Edit: Up to the Celtics to defeat the evil Warriors, the dark lords of the NBA. May the force be with them!
I think the Celtics have now won 7 road playoff games. 2 more and they tie the 95 Rockets record for 1 playoffs.
Curry solidifies spot on top 10 GOAT list once he wins #4, probably starts being placed in the top 5 on some lists
not even close too many injury cut seasons his stats are top 25 at best, for example he only has 4 all nba first team selections
He doesn’t have the stats to be placed there. I mean is it because he is the number 1 three point shooter ever. Missed too many games and just doesn’t have the amount of mvp level seasons as guys like jerry west, David Robinson, Hakeem the big o, etc
The Celtics d matches up the best (especially on the perimeter) so I say Cs in 6 draymond gonna miss a game too lol
So I've picked the Warriors every round here so there is no bias here, I'm only picking who I think will win, so I'm not saying this as some Warrior hate. I think the Celtics win. They have a team of destiny feel to them and I think they can neutralize Curry with their defensive wings (especially Smart) and Tatum can counter those random games where Klay goes nutso. I also think they are able to play big without the cons of playing big and that they will want this a lot more. I honestly don't care who wins. Warriors are already a dynasty, one more ring won't change that or losing one more won't hurt that...and Boston sports fans are beyond spoiled, so **** them...but I do think their team wins.
Here's what the analytics from 538, ESPN, the Ringer have as the favorites. Plus Vegas betting odds. - 538's Raptor/ELO: Boston as 83% and 68% favorites. Warriors 17% and 32% underdogs - ESPN BPI: Boston as 80% favorites. Warriors 20% probability to win. The RInger's Odd's machine: Boston 57% Warriors 43% Vegas: Warriors -165 favorites Boston +175 underdogs. Personally I think the series is a coin flip and picked Warriors in 6.
A very fair and logical opinion. Not just blind hatred like others who simply hate Curry for being superior to Harden and root against the Warriors cause they are/were better than us.
You're right. We could see those lists if the Warriors win and Curry shows out, but those lists would still be so very WRONG. I predict he will lose ground in greatest players ever lists because, barring 2006 Wade officiating, Curry will not deliver. Still picking the Warriors, but it will be a team effort, not a Top 10 Curry initiation ceremony.
Honestly surprised at the odds. Thought Warriors would be favored. Also seems like NBA wanted to give that NBA final trophy to Stephanie so bad. --To complete his individual list of awards (since Iggy and Durant took GSW's previous ones).
