THE NBA Finals are coming soon and the previews, podcasts and hype are all flowing like a waterfall. We asked for your predictions on the outcome and the results were overwhelmingly positive for the Boston Celtics.

This is partly due to the polling environment. Celtics fans are generally pretty optimistic about their team. In this case, however, it seems that this optimism is supported by a general consensus. The Celtics have been the best team in the league all year and it shouldn’t be a shock to see them in the NBA Finals.
Of course, it makes no sense to cancel the Dallas Mavericks. They have Luka Doncic and they earned their way to the Finals via a much tougher path in the West than the Celtics faced.
Still, it appears there are more matchup and talent advantages in Boston’s favor in this one. And if the Celtics win, it follows that the series MVP award will likely go to Jayson Tatum or Jaylen Brown.
