RIGHT before the opening of a new season in the PBA, SPIN.ph trooped to the league's Media Day and asked several players and coaches for their quick forecast of the 2022 NBA Finals between the Boston Celtics and the Golden State Warriors.
Thirteen of 22 interviewees, including Chris Banchero, RR Pogoy, Poy Erram, Justin Chua, coach Leo Austria, and coach Tim Cone, went for the Celtics, mostly in six or seven games.
"I will be cheering for the Warriors," clarified Cone. "But my mind says Celtics, my heart says Warriors."
PBA Media Day was held on June 2, and this morning, their prediction held out: Boston took down Golden State in Game 1 of the series, 120-108.

The two joined Kib Montalbo, Kevin Racal, Mo Tautuaa, Sean Manganti, Matthew Wright, and coach Jeff Cariaso in rooting for the Stephen Curry-led GSW.
