Why are people picking Jayson Tatum’s Celtics over the Warriors?

Many fans and even experts believe that the Warriors had an easy way to the Finals in comparison to the Celtics. The Denver Nuggets were injured and the Memphis Grizzlies didn’t have Ja Morant. And they had the home-court advantage in the first two games against the Dallas Mavericks.
