The Athletic interviewed an anonymous coach, scout and executive on their NBA Finals predictions. The scout predicted the Boston Celtics winning in six games, saying that they quote: ‘had a very rough road..won two Game 7s, and one of those on the other guys’ court..size will be an issue in the Celtics’ favor.’ The coach agrees, crediting Boston’s defense as they ‘can play big with Robert Williams, maybe Horford. They can play small with Grant Williams.. they’re physical.’ However, the executive has the Golden State Warriors winning in seven due to home-court advantage. Colin Cowherd compares their picks, then shares his Finals prediction.
