Warriors vs Celtics NBA finals preview
The Warriors reached the NBA finals for the sixth time in 8 seasons in what has been a glorious era for the team. Even after a couple of quieter years they've been able to add a new support cast to big names Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.
The injection of youth to go with their championship-winning veterans has been a major asset for this great franchise.
The Celtics had to do it the hard way to get here through defeating Nets superstars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving, downing the reigning champs the Bucks and outlasting the Heat in 7.
The Celtics have been an institution in the NBA alongside the Lakers as the most successful franchise. Another title here would only add to the legacy. They've been tough and resilient, but we think the freshened-up Warriors might just hold the edge.
