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

[flyingelvis]

If we get the Celtics we saw yesterday or anything close, Celts in 5. But I'm not sure if yesterday is what we get. If not, Celtics in 6 or 7.

Lol tatum is not going to drop 51 every night. Butler isnt a pussy like embiid and harden. He actually shows up as Celtics fans saw last year

Obviously the Celtics have to be favored. I think they might win a ring. I predict they win this series in six games.

That's way too low now that it's head to head. Miami probably has a 20% or so shot

3 big changes from miami compared to last year

1) Healthy Lowry
2) much bigger role for caleb this time around. Only played 20+ minutes once last year.
3) no more 4 on 5 offense since pj is gone

Lets run it back @Gman @The Q

I dislike that.

No matter what Miami is a pain in the ass

Always

They’re like the cardinals in baseball lol

Celtics have brogan

That’s the big change from last year on their end

Bob still seems banged up…so that’s just like last year

Six feels about right

But we saw how bad they looked with shorter rest than Philly

If Miami steals a game early this one also gets scary

And Rob Williams is healthy for this playoff run. He wasn't 100% last year.

I don’t buy it with how he’s been playing

Heard on JJ podcast that these teams are 2nd & 3rd in switching the most

I miss the old celtics teams. They were easier to dislike

Herro hurt.

Oladipo hurt.

On the plus side... Kevin Love is a gamer.

Herro was hurt most of last series too if you remember. I think he missed 4-6 and was a non factor as he was clearly hobbled when he came back for game 7

Oh yeah... I've had a long year.

Odds are if Giannis was healthy, the Heat are watching on TV.

The heat were missing their 2nd best scorer for the entire series. Giannis came back in game 4 with the bucks only down 2-1. They went 0-2 in those games. People continuing to use the Giannis excuses when he was there for the 2 biggest games while acting like Herro is a 2 way player will always be funny to me.

You dont win 6MOY then follow that up by avg 20 and shooting about 38% from 3 by accident

The Bucks were missing Giannis, end of argument.
