The wear and tear they went through in those series does matter.

Disagree not to a team with a bunch of players 25 years old and younger. As I mentioned Rob is the only one to worry about due to his knee.
Edit - My fault breh I thought you quoted my comment.....sorry about that.
Everyone is beat up and theres like 5 days in between each game for the finals
Overplayed.
Game 1 is 4 days away. And there is 2 days off before each game other than between Game 3 and 4. Plenty of time to rest and be ready.
Other than Rob Williams and his knee being “tired” ain’t gonna be a reason the Celtics don’t win it all.
The warriors have nobody to guard Tatum and Brown. Celtics in 6.
You really think the C's are gonna do an easier job on the Warriors than they did the Heat ?
@OaklandCertified is right, wear and tear will be a factor for the Celtics.
You don't just get over the physical and mental toll of a hard-fought Eastern conference run in four days. That shyt can take a whole offseason; we really don't know what state the Celtics are in. That's one big factor playing in the Warriors favor, is that they really haven't been pushed in any capacity. On the flipside of that, the battles the Celtics have gone through can be a factor for them, because they know what it takes to play through adversity, and this Warriors squad, as a collective, doesn't yet.
I dont discount this but on the flip side they should be locked in mentally. The added days off should promote a little more vitality other than for timelord who needs months off
I think the narrative of the Celtics being more battle tested is being exaggerated i dont think Miami played that well in this series....I think it went 7 games because you have 2 GOOD but not GREAT teams that are inconsistent...Celtics are on the higher end of GOOD but theyre far from a great team....I didnt see anything in these 7 games that would make me take Boston....

warriors in 6 celtics wont be able to hold their leads since they dont have a real PG and turn it over too much 
I think the Celtics played down to the Heat. They were the superior team in nearly every facet, but they got caught playing with their food. They'll rise to whatever level the Warriors play at.

Dubs offense is so much more dynamic with off ball movement than Miami.....You think how difficult it was for BOS to beat a Heat team with basically 1 reliable scoring option...and it took em 7 games down to the final minute,i think the Warriors offense is 10 levels higher than what Miami showed in the ECF...
I dont think they played with there food there just not a great team which is why they couldnt put them away.....Like i said there were no great teams in the East alot of GOOD but not great.....thats what they resembled in the ECF.
Warriors offense will not be as stagnant and bad as the Heats was,C's defense looked good but Heats offense was terrible and reliant on 1 guy for too much of the series....i think the contrast will be noticeable right away in the finals....
By this logic the big 3 celtics would have lost to the lakers because they went 7 with the hawks..its not that simple to just use the transitive property
