The Golden State Warriors are set to play host to the Boston Celtics in Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday evening from The Bay, and it very well could be one of the tougher challenges the Warriors have faced.
Granted, Steph Curry and the rest of the Dubs took on arguably the best player of this generation, LeBron James of the Cleveland Cavaliers, for four consecutive seasons, but the Celtics look like a tougher matchup for Curry.
The Celtics have been the best team in the league since January. They started the season 25-25 but finished 27-6. They possess numerous capable defenders to throw at Curry. They have the Defensive Player of the Year, Marcus Smart, as well as Jaylen Brown, Al Horford and Robert Williams III to harass him.
