I'm honestly going to be very surprised if this up and down Celtics team, that kept letting the battered, bruised, and offensively challenged Heat come back on them time and again, are able to seriously contend with the Warriors. I hope I'm wrong, cus it would be nice of course to get a really competitive series, but I expect the Warriors are probably gonna dismantle them.

I don't know about that.

This Celtics team is probably the worst matchup for the Warriors aside from the Grizzlies. They are very physical and they specialize in defense just like that Raptors team in 2019 (though, I'm of the belief that if Klay hadn't gotten hurt, the Warriors win Game 6 and who knows what happens in Game 7.) Marcus Smart can make Steph work while Draymond can give Tatum all he can handle. It'll come down to which supporting cast can rise to the challenge.
