Today, Sharpe broke down why he thinks the Celtics will end up taking the victory. As you can see down below, he simply believes that Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown are two of the three best players on the floor, which means the Celtics have a slightly stronger starting lineup.

"I feel confident in my pick because I believe 2 of the 3 best players on the court belong to the Celtics," Sharpe said. "The matchup Tatum and Brown present for the Warriors will be a problem. Celtics in 7."


Sharpe also notes that the Celtics have a great defense, which is most definitely going to play a huge factor in all of this. Needless to say, we are going to be in for a truly memorable series.
