Very hard to say. Both teams are very good and favorites to win it all , especially when everything is clicking.
They both have lots of strengths.
Now to find their weakness? For the Denver Nuggets, they must stay very healthy (especially their starters) and they play in a very deep, tuff West. Lots of threats: TWolves, Kings, Pels, OKC, Clips, Suns, etc. Harder path. They have an OK bench, but not the greatest.
For the Boston Celtics. Very deep team. Less resistance in the East (lot of teams with injuries, and quite a few inconsistent teams). But they do have some flaws. They have the tendencies to have brain farts, mentally collapse during the playoffs. Hopefully that doesn't carry over from last season and years prior. Also they (similar to GSW) are 3 ball reliant. If the shots goes in, they win big usually. If the shots don't go in, they tend to lose often.
Anyhow, I voted Denver, because there is more resistance in the West, harder path. Also any injury to any of their starters could hurt them. Boston should be able to coast through the East. Unless the Knicks are very healthy, Magic are tuff, etc.
Some off us called it.
