Their overall experience and championship experience favors them. However, the Celtics are no pushovers.

Grant Williams and Steph Curry battle for the ball The Golden State Warriors have reigned as the dynasty for the better part of the last ten years. Considering the sheer depth of experience and talent at their disposal, they should be a more reliable choice to emerge as winners. Having missed the playoffs for consecutive seasons, the Dubs have finally returned to the biggest stage in the NBA. Given the sheer momentum on their side, they look unstoppable. With a five-game closeout against the , Golden State have also enjoyed sufficient rest and time to prepare against the Celtics' schemes. This is a huge advantage considering Steve Kerr's genius as a tactician. Overall, the Golden State Warriors benefit from several advantages. The difficulties arise from within the Boston roster itself. The Boston Celtics have been nothing short of impressive this season. Given the size available at each position, Boston are a potential matchup nightmare in the paint. With a significant advantage on the rebounding end and on rim-protection, the Warriors will have their hands full. The difference comes down to championship experience and tenacity. With Finals pressure influencing performance, the Celtics could struggle early. Should the Dubs take advantage of this, they will find themselves in a better position to win their fourth ring.
