NBA Finals Predictions?

[JA_Carter]

As great as the Spurs are, I don’t recall off head a young team reaching the finals on their first playoff run. They remind me of 2014 Warriors or 2024 OKC, great young team that’s just inexperienced, next year I can see them reaching the finals.

I see OKC vs Celtics, as great as Cade and the Pistons are, I feel their lack of a second go to scorer might cost them in the playoffs, especially it Tatum comes back.

Bill Walton 1977 blazers were the last team to do it.

81 Celtics are an interesting team

Pistons ,spurs & thunder all qualify for the Phil Jackson 40 before 20 championship criteria

But

Pistons & spurs haven’t won a playoff series yet. That’s a tall task to go from winning no series to winning 3 to get to the finals

If Tatum returns Celtics better than anyone in the east imo

Celtics(with Tatum) vs thunder my pick

hornets vs spurs

My thoughts as well. Tatum's already doing 5 on 5 scrimmages, he's probably gonna get cleared to play sometime around St. Patrick's Day. If he's not too rusty they're gonna get to the Finals.

If Tatum is 75% of what he was or more OKC vs Boston. If he’s not even close OKC vs NY
