538 in shambles. Their RAPTOR metric had the Celtics as 83% favorites to win the title back on May 30th

Maybe. Or maybe the 17% happened.
I personally think RAPTOR needs some tweaking, but it isn't that far off.

Yes.
People frequently don't understand percentage projections. The 17% happens.

It is hard to win when your best player shoots 35% in the paint (less than 50% at the rim).
I also think RAPTOR massively overrates Tatum. No chance he is the second best player in the NBA.

Oh, if you watched that series it never was 17%. If you were to run that series 100 times Golden State would win it a lot more than 17 times.

Yeah, it wasn't that close. Boston stole game 1 with absurd 4th quarter shooting, game 3 was really the only time they were clearly the better team. Their inexperience and lack of true PG showed and would do them in a lot more than 17 times out of 100.

I could not see Boston winning 17 out of 100. They have the Defence.
But the defence only gets you just to the point, where you can win it with offence.
I don´t know exactly how Raptor works, but I think it projects as if every game is played equal. And the Dubs were kinda coasting and saving their stars and Boston was full steam all the time.
