Wanna know something funny? He was our best +/- this season and our 4th best +/- last year.

Very disappointing game tonight. Now let’s go to Boston and end it there. We don’t wanna go back to Miami 3-2 with the pressure of having to win at home.

I don't know if they win on Thursday but they will put forward a better team effort. A lot of guys just need to play beter

Maybe they win, maybe not…but they need to treat it like a must win.

I believe they can do it.

I doubt they shoot 25% from 3 again

I expect a much better game from Bam on offense

I expect a really aggressive Jimmy Butler

Those 3 things are enought to give them a solid chance at a win in G5

Barkley just guaranteed Miami wins game 5.

Nice for the Celtics

I’ll laugh my ass off if the Celtics somehow win 4 straight.

Yup going back to Miami at bare minimum now. Celtics get hot, they could win 4 straight but highly unlikely. Need to win one more road game and they typically been solid on the road.

Miami still plan to show up in Boston on Thursday night. They aren't 5-3 on the road in the playoffs by mistake

Miami was fucked when both A-Rod and Jeter showed up to the game

 

[Duffman]

I’m really hoping Miami can close this out, if only because Denver has a much better record these past few years against Miami than they do the Celtics. Of course the playoffs are a different animal but it would make me feel better about the series.

Records don't matter. You're playing Playoff Jimmy now

While true, Denver matches up better against Miami than they do Boston that’s just a fact. And you’re playing against Playoff Jimmy but you’re also playing with Playoff Jokic and Playoff Murray too.

This series is far from over.

If Boston wins game 5, game 6 will probably decide the series.

Heat are clearly in the drivers seat, but the Celtics absolutely have a chance.

We’ve heard that all playoffs and yet we are. Maybe they do matchup better against Miami than Boston, but I’m telling you Miami is a lot better than people think, they just had a down year…especially with all the injuries.

This is the exact same team that took Boston to 7 games last year as the #1 seed and the main core of the team besides Dragic of course went to the finals against Lakers and took 2 games from them 3 years ago.

Pretty big line shift after last night

Celtics moved from +900 to +220
Heat moved from -1200 to -270

But they’re also a poor home team.

Undisputed is pumping the Celtics hard right now
