Resolved according to https://www.espn.com/nba/ or a similar main sports website.
If for some reason there are no 2022 NBA Finals, this is resolved to PROB at the end of 2022. (This also includes if a champion is declared without any NBA Finals being played, e. g. via an armchair decision. If any amount of actual NBA Finals basketball is played and a winning team is declared following that, I will resolve to that team.)

Golden State Warriors
@howtodowtle I know nothing about sports and don't follow them but this seems way more imbalanced than the Betfair odds (https://www.betfair.com/exchange/plus/basketball/market/1.185520271).

@StephenMalina It seems like betting odds are (over-)favoring the Warriors--but they also factor in public sentiment. On the other hand, predictive forecasts strongly favor (60 to 80 % winning probabilities) the Celtics. I believe the "true probabilities" are somewhere in the middle. And I agree that at current odds (74 % Celtics, 25 % Warriors), the Warriors are the better bet.
