The Boston Celtics will be playing with their season on the line on Thursday in Game 6 of the NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. Down 2-3 in the series, another loss for Boston would spell the end of what has been a tremendous run.

If you ask former Celtics big man turned ESPN broadcaster, Kendrick Perkins, however, he firmly believes that the season won't end for Boston on Thursday night. Big Perk is adamant that Jayson Tatum and Co. will force a Game 7 in Golden State on Thursday:

“I pick the Celtics in 7,” Perkins said, via ClutchPoints on Twitter. “I think this series is going seven games. I think Boston is gonna play with that fire.”

Warriors fans will want their team to close out this series in Game 6. It's going to be an undeniably tough ask for Golden State, though, considering how Boston has some of the most passionate supporters in all of the NBA.

The good news for the Warriors, however, is that in a worst-case scenario, they still have a Game 7 to fall back on. It's also going to be on their home court at the Chase Center. The Celtics, on the other hand, will have no tomorrow if they lose on Thursday.
