NBA Finals preview: Warriors vs. Celtics

The thirty teams are now down to two.

Golden State Warriors and the Boston Celtics will faceoff in the 2022 NBA Finals.

The dub nation hopes to reclaim their throne and become the most successful team in the past years while the Celtic pride eyes for its 18th NBA title and become the winningest franchise in NBA history.

What are the things to look forward in this series?

First are the matchups, the stars of each team are built not bought.

Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green were all drafted by the Warriors likewise are Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart of the Celtics.

Next is the defense. Boston displayed a superb defense in the East finals against one of the best defensive teams, the Miami Heat. This is something the opponent has been scouting. Golden State though also played good defense but not as good as the former.

Questions that are still in the sky are who will stop Tatum and Brown? Wiggins is Golden State’s best defender but he needs help. Gary Payton’s return might be the key.

Another concern is the paint, Boston may have the advantage inside with Al Horford and Robert Williams on it. Kevon Looney certainly can’t do it alone for the opposition.

For Boston, they have to limit Curry and Thompson, not to mention Jordan Poole. Defense is really the key for them to win the championship as they have to shutdown the firepowers of the Warriors.

Now, who you got between these two?

Giannis, Luka, Embiid, Wemby overlooked as Durant hypes Tatum

As the Boston Celtics won vs Phoenix (127 – 112) last March 15, 2024, NBA superstar Kevin Durant hyped Tatum as the one who will control the league for the next 10 or 12 years.

Despite the outstanding performance of Joel Hans Embiid Philadelphia 76ers, Doncic Luka Mavericks, Giannis Sina Ugo Antetokounmpo Milwaukee Bucks, Victor Wembanyama Spurs and others, Durant still saw Celtic power forward Jayson Christophe Tatum as the best.

Durant said after the Wednesday practice that Tatum is consistent all year and assumed him as the legit candidate.

“Putting up a high number of points. Stats matter when it comes to MVP. His team is winning games, most importantly, by a landslide. The record factors into it. He’s had MVP-caliber seasons the last few years, too. So, it’s just a matter of your narrative at this point.” Durant remarked.
