NBA Finals 2022: Expert Predictions for Warriors vs. Celtics

The Warriors have not gone up against a defense as formidable as Boston's in these playoffs. It's a shape-shifting, switch-happy group that has no clear point of vulnerability. Everyone is a plus defender. Everyone is versatile. There is no obvious weakness. Golden State has the No. 1 offense in this postseason for a reason, though. With Steph Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green on the court, they flow through actions at a speed that makes most opponents feel vertigo. But in so many ways, the Celtics were built to slow them down. And if the Warriors want to prevail, they'll likely need to hit more tough shots than they're used to, while hoping Boston goes cold on the other end.
