This is going to be a 7 game series one way or the other. People are underrating the Celtics on here.

Bruh, if Klay doesn't get hurt in that game that series is over then. Stop it. If the Warriors are up 3 - 2 going into game 6 then Game 6 Klay will put them away.

I have Warriors in 5
Especially if Klay can play consistently well (which is not a guarantee, he's been pretty underwhelming the majority of the playoffs) I don't see Boston having the firepower to match them.

I'm actually coming around even more on the Warriors if they get Otto, GP2 and Iggy back. That's just a crazy amount of wing defenders to throw at Jaylen and Tatum. They've been able to feast the most by hunting mismatches. The Warriors have enough bodies and are smart enough switching defensively to prevent those mismatches from happening and are probably the best team rotating on defense to cut off driving lanes. Celtics won't have enough shooting to offset that.
Offensively I see them iso'ing Horford a lot or taking advantage of Robert Williams aggressiveness in going for blocks to make backdoor cuts or pump fake and drive on him. Boston will be the best defense they'll face and the offense will have large stretches of ineffectiveness but I just think they will make big runs once the Celtics go to the bench units. Poole and Klay will have to be in attack mode though. I just think the Warriors have too many ways to score individually and through the offense. Celtics haven't encountered a team in the playoffs yet that had both.
I originally had Warriors in 7 but I think Warriors take it in 5 if the Celtics aren't fully healthy or 6 if everything is good with Tatum's shoulder, Smart's ankle and the other injuries they're fighting.

True that, at least Siakam is better than Tatum
If Boston wins, it won't be from wearing them down (keep in mind GS will be the fresher team). The Warriors are pretty much the most conditioned team in the league. If the series turns into a track meet, that'll only favor the Warriors. The Celtics have to slow the pace down and make it ugly.

As long as the refs aren't the deciding factor, then I'm good
I totally agree it's the same way the Bucks got the Suns last year.
