There are also a few high profile pundits picking the celts to win it all. Not saying they are correct but that certainly sways public opinion.

The statistical models have loved the Celtics too. They were the clear favorite on 538 and theringer’s models. With good reason. Obv the Warriors’ easier path and extra rest will help them but in a totally neutral series I’d take the Celtics.

Welp. Go Heat.

Why would you want to see the Heat in the finals again?

I just checked and they updated the C's finals win probability to 43 percent. It was in the 80s.

80 was too high but 43 seems low. The C's have the right pieces to beat the warriors they just have to be men about it (sorry for gendering them).

I'm torn. I want Jimmy to snap but also think the Celtics have a much better chance at taking out Steve Curry.

They’re so much better than Miami at this point.

Sign and trade Zach Lavine for Jimmy Butler and Max Strus. Bring those boys home.

Write his number on your sneakers, don't wear the arch rival's colors during a Game 7.

He’s really the worst with that nonsense.

I remember when Jordan wore an Alex English armband to get himself in the zone

Coach · **Joined:** Wed January 02, 2013 12:20 am **Posts:** 8292

My only hope is that with age he becomes less soft.

Also, Celtics totally giving life to the Heat here. Anyone's game.

4/5 · **Joined:** Thu December 20, 2012 4:45 pm **Posts:** 6647

Well, I’ll take that.

Coach · **Joined:** Wed January 02, 2013 12:20 am **Posts:** 8292

If Butler continues this, Celts are finished. Tatum and Brown getting out super starred.

To be clear, I'd still take Jayson on the Bulls
