About the 2022 NBA Finals Between the Golden State Warriors and Boston Celtics
The last time that these two franchises met in the NBA Finals, the Warriors were still technically the “San Francisco” Warriors and the Celtics were in the middle of eight-straight championship seasons — winning titles in 10 of 11 years. A lot has changed for the league since 1964; there’s a three-point arc now, people actually watch games live on TV, and this time around, it’s the Warriors who are in the midst of a dynastic run.
Steve Kerr’s Warriors squad is making its sixth NBA Finals appearance in eight seasons having won the title three times since 2015. Boston last played for the Larry O’Brien Trophy in 2008 when Doc Rivers and the Celtics beat Phil Jackson, Kobe Bryant, and the Lakers. The Warriors are anchored by their franchise’s bedrock of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green. On the other side, Boston is led by Jayson Tatum with support from Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart.
The Warriors will have homecourt advantage, but under first-year head coach Ime Udoka, the Celtics have been on a historic run since January so it should. be a thrilling series to watch.
