The Celtics are leading the series 3-2 against the Heat. Not that this series was not a problem for the Celtics. Both the teams had their key players injured at some point. After coming out of the West, Green is optimistic that Boston will take the series. “We’re gonna play Boston.”, said Green when asked who he thinks will be the Warriors’ next opponent. Despite having their tallest player listed at 6’9, Looney has surprised everyone with his spectacular performance.

The Warriors met teams that had big men out sizing their interior. Regardless, the Dubs’ energy on the defensive end was incredible. The Celtics’ Al Horford has been going off.

Steph and Klay, the splash brothers, are back on the floor after 2 years. This will be the second time the Warriors will face a team in which most of the players have never played in the Finals. In 2019, the Dubs played the Raptors where Danny Green and Kawhi Leonard were the only players with Finals experience. Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, and Marcus Smart will play their first-ever Finals against the Warriors.
