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?

Nikola Jokic, Lebron James will kick off the NBA 2023-24 season.

The unfinished business between the Denver Nuggets and Los Angeles Lakers will resume on October 24, 2023 in Ball Arena Denver, Colorado.

It can be recalled that the Nuggets swept the Lakers in the Western Conference. Shockingly, they advanced to their very first NBA Finals in franchise history with 4 – 0 in the Western Conference Finals.

“I know how great he is,” James said in the press conference last May 2023 about Jokic.

Jokic won MVP of the Western Conference Finals after he exploded with 27.8 points, 14.5 rebounds and 11.8 assists.

On the other hand, Lebron James felt humiliated with a sweep loss though it is not his first time to be swept. James got swept also last 2018, when his Cavaliers clashed with the Golden State Warriors.

Meanwhile, Lebron is expected to erupt vs the Nuggets.

Former NBA Knicks Brownlee shines brighter than Utah Jazz Clarkson

As Gilas upset Jordan (70-60) to secure a spot in Olympics 2024, fans assume Justin Brownlee (JB) is better than Jordan Clarkson (JC) last October 6, 2023 in Asian Games held at Hangzhou, China.

Power forward Brownlee joined the New York Knicks in the 2012 NBA Summer League and played for a couple of years. JB got a contract but it ended right away.

On the other hand, Clarkson of Utah Jazz is still active in the NBA as a Point Guard. In fact, they will play against the Clippers on October 9 as the NBA 2023 – 2024 season begins.

Brownlee used to get 27.8 points while JC has an average of 15.9 points per game. Both have three-point shooting.

According to reports, JB gave way to Clarkson during FIBA Cup 2023.

It can be recalled that JC failed to carry the team in the FIBA Cup as they won only once.

Meanwhile, Brownlee led the team to Paris Olympics 2024 that JC did not make it.
