The Boston Celtics have finally punched their ticket to go back to the NBA Finals after years of failing in the Eastern Conference Finals. They beat the Miami Heat in 7 games, the same team that eliminated them from the 2020 ECF in the bubble. The Celtics have finally gotten their revenge and will now face off against the Golden State Warriors.

The Warriors romped through the Western Conference, not being stretched to a single game seven through their matchups against the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, and Dallas Mavericks. Boston is the only team to have swept an opponent in this post-season with their first-round sweep over the Brooklyn Nets.

The fanbases are already preparing for the Finals that will start on Thursday and could possibly stretch to June 19 in the case of a game seven. But what do the fanbases have to say about this matchup? Both sides are optimistic, but it seems the Warriors are being picked to be the winners of the title:

The Golden State Warriors will host the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the 2022 NBA Finals on Thursday, June 2 at 9 p.m. ET on ABC and ESPN Radio.

Warriors-Celtics should be epic. Boston is the only team in the NBA with a winning record against Golden State since the dynasty began. The defense is good enough to win the series. But the offense can't slow it down and stop running sets so often like they did again in Game 7.

Warriors/Boston gonna be a War

— Alex 👋 (@Dubs408) May 30, 2022

It feels so weird to be living in Boston and going against the Celtics in the Finals lol, but I’m rolling with my dubs.

Warriors in five, let’s run it @warriors

— thirty (@StephenCurey) May 30, 2022

I can’t believe I’m saying this but I want Boston to win! I do not want the fucking warriors to win again.

— #1 CHICAGO BULLS FAN🔴⚫️🏀 (@bdog0698) May 30, 2022

Boston over the Warriors in 7.

— HUGE (@Hugeshow) May 30, 2022

The Warriors are way too deep and Boston struggled way too much with a banged up Heat team. Golden State wins another title in 5.

— Mike J. Asti (@MikeAsti11) May 30, 2022

If, and mean IF, The Boston Celtics were to go all the way and beat the Warriors this year, Where would u rate this among tough championship runs? Nets, Bucks, Miami, and the Warriors. That’s so hell.

— HTB ♨️ (@HenryTheBlasian) May 30, 2022

Boston has already played a total of 18 games in the playoffs as compared to the Golden State Warriors, who have played just 16. In addition, the Warriors have also had nearly a week off from their series win over the Dallas Mavericks, meanwhile; the Celtics were just pushed to a Game 7 in a very physical series against the Heat.

If there is any team with the pieces to slow down the Warriors, it is Boston, whose defense has been lauded all year long to be one of the best. They have already used this skill to get past magnetic offensive players like Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, Giannis Antetokounmpo, and Jimmy Butler.

The Warriors’ team offense against the Celtics’ team defense is going to make for an incredibly fun matchup that fans around the world can’t wait to watch.
