Draymond Green Makes Huge Prediction About Heat vs Celtics Eastern Conference Finals

After an enthralling five-game series, the Golden State Warriors became the first team to enter the NBA final. They beat the Dallas Mavericks convincingly and made a trip back to the big stage. However, they have to wait to see who their opponents will be, as the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics are in a gritty series. But it seems Green is already preparing for one of the sides as he made a bold prediction right after winning the WCF.

The series between Miami and Boston had been an even matchup. Both teams taking turns humiliating the other. Miami and Boston are both hungry to make it to the final. However, there is only space for one besides the Golden State Warriors. With a competitive series in front, no clear winner can be predicted between the two tough Eastern conference sides. Incidentally, Draymond believes Miami won’t be seeing the finals this season.

After booking their ticket into the NBA finals, Green said the best defensive team, the Boston Celtics, will be their opponents on the grandest stage.
