I've got Boston in 4 or 5 games. With that being said, Miami won't make it easy for them. Still can't count them out with Bam and Herro healthy. It's possible they give them trouble and steal a game or two. Boston will know they've been in a fight.

The Celtics' regulars played like absolute crap over the last two weeks of the season. It was embarrassing, really. The Heat will do better than many people expect.

I think the Heat will keep it close at least 2-3 games, because of Spo and defense, but they really need Jimmy to close. I had it as a toss up with Jimmy (Miami being the biggest threat to Boston in the east). Now I give Miami a punchers chance, maybe 10%. The Celtics will probably be -2500 or -3000, which is way too much, but they still should win easily enough, and honestly should roll the east.

If the Celtics don’t come out and blitz this Heat team then I would seriously question their heart and toughness. But I already seriously question their heart and toughness. Celtics in 6. And they should be laughed at if it goes that long.

I think Miami will surprise a lot of people. Not by winning the series of course but I can see them winning a game and being close in several.

Vegas odds… Sweep priced at even money.

So basically if your bet is for the Heat to win at least ONE GAME, you win your bet. LOL

Thanks for a great season, Heat! Enjoy the offseason says Vegas.

C's aren't different. Tatum and Brown still want to be heroes and the coach doesn't have the cache to make them cut it out. If they let White and Holiday run the offense they are nearly invincible. But that ain't gonna happen. When you see Tatum slow walking the ball up the floor you can smell the loss coming.

Jaquez coming out party, he's the future. Boston still wins but the Heat have their next centerpiece.
