Series Thread: ECF: 2) Boston Celtics vs 8) Miami Heat

[eaglesnut]

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

How exciting it would be for the league and their affiliates!

I am so excited to watch them count their money!!

Yay basketball!!!

Ok well tell that to the guy I replied to

That was the point of his comment......

Since Barkley guaranteed a Boston win, its like he locked in the win for Miami

 

[The Q]

I guess at the very least I can say thank you to the Heat for not taking Maxey and instead taking a 6'8 center with zero spacing ability...otherwise the east would be pretty hopeless starting last year going forward.

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.

Have a chance, sure, but guessing a number of teams felt this way making it 3-1 after being down only to still lose the series. Just a home win and it definitely gets interesting.

It hasn’t happened yet.

But it will happen someday.

Pressure really mounts on the team that had the 3-0 lead if they let the first 2 close out chances slide by.

That was the year they took precious right?

 

[The Q]

Yes

I was baffled

Miami needed a pg and maxey was such a heat player.

I had Miami as his floor

Pretty big line shift after last night

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

No surprise. The entire media is now acting like series is tied 3-3 because miami is involved

 

[bksballer89]

I would be slightly concerned if Miami played well. Miami played like crap across the board last night except caleb & Jimmy in the 3rd. They won't play like that tomorrow and will match Boston intensity

No.

They are acting like that because Miami is an 8 seed playing without their 3rd best player and playing against the team many picked to win a championship.

If it gets to game 7, Boston will be heavily favored and correctly so.

Heat still considerable favorites.

Well as you know Vegas has nothing to do with the media.

For sure....no doubt at some point it happens (like it did in MLB).

Lol talking about game 7 like miami with butler and spo wont show up in games 5 or possibly 6 is dumb

Considering the Heat win a formality is dumb.

This series is not over yet.

Boston plenty good enough to beat Miami when Miami brings their A game.

 

[bksballer89]

Miami the first team to be up 3-1 where everyone in the media act like the series is tied

Thank God! Couldn’t come too soon. I was worried that Miami was gonna run out of bull shit to get fired up about on the disrespect train. Now they’ve been able to refuel.

I just don’t see it

Where did i do that?

What is dumb is expecting Miami to shoot 25% from 3, jimmy to show up in 3 of 4 quarters, and expecting spo not to have his team ready to match Boston intensity/energy from opening tip

 

[msgkings322]

That's because everyone hates you. Not the Miami Heat, you, personally
