The Boston Celtics have punched their ticket to the NBA Finals, an outcome that many expected entering the playoffs this season.
Boston has been heavily favored to win the title for quite some time, moving to an odds on favorite later on this postseason before sweeping the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals.
It will now wait for the winner of the Dallas Mavericks-Minnesota Timberwolves matchup, but Dallas is up 3-0 in that series and no team has ever come back from a 3-0 series deficit. So, are we looking at a Dallas-Boston Finals?
The odds certainly would suggest that.
