Celtics or the field?
00:01
Wide open, I think, for the Celtics.
00:04
If you had to vote right now, would you take the field or the Celtics?
00:07
So I'm going to take the Celtics,
00:09
and it's because I think they're 100% getting to the finals.
00:12
As much as I like the Cavs and Donovan Mitchell,
00:15
and I think that might be an A series,
00:17
but I'm 100% taking them to get to the finals.
00:20
I think the Thunder are the best team in the West.
00:22
I will take the Celtics right now in a nail-biter series over the Thunder,
00:27
but the reason why I'm a little bit more confident in the overall answer
00:29
is because no guarantee the Thunder get there.
00:32
And if it's anybody other than the Thunder, I have quite a bit of confidence,
00:35
and if it is the Thunder, I have a smidge of confidence.
00:38
So to answer your question, I'll take the seat.
00:39
And I agree with the way you're looking at it.
00:41
It's just who's more likely to get to the finals?
00:43
The Celtics are more likely to get there.
00:45
If it's Boston and OKC, I personally would take OKC.
00:49
I would disagree with you on that.
00:50
They're both healthy. It's best on best.
00:52
I would take Oklahoma City over the Celtics.
00:54
But I acknowledge the Thunder have a way tougher path to get there,
00:57
and the Celtics are much more likely to get there.
01:00
So if you're playing the odds, the Celtics will be there.
01:01
I'm not sure the Thunder will.
01:03
I get that logic.
01:04
I would take the field over the Celtics based purely on OKC
01:07
being the best team in the league and better head-to-head.
01:10
When they played them this year, they got to get there.
01:13
But I do think the Celtics have a relatively wide open path to get there.
01:17
I don't want to call it easy.
01:18
Last year was easy.
01:20
When you're missing superstars on the other side,
01:22
they're injured, they're not even playing, that's easy.
01:24
And that's historically a joke.
01:27
As long as they get healthy teams this year,
01:29
Orlando's healthy, New York slash Detroit is healthy in round two,
01:33
Cleveland's healthy in the finals.
01:34
I'm not going to call it easy.
01:35
I do think it's wide open.
01:36
But that's a credit to the Celtics.
01:37
They're just that much better than the rest of the Eastern Conference.
