Boston needed a very lucky tip-in by Derrick White just to get to game 7. Was also very apparent that Butler’s injury that was suffered against the Knicks was getting worse, and he wasn’t the same player he was earlier in the playoffs.

Funny how that supposedly only matters when they start losing. The Tatum injury was fresh and had a clear impact on their game.

W/e. Prepare to get creamed in 4.
You almost got swept last year lol.

All these Celtics in 4 predictions...

You will so **** the bed when you lose game 1. The meltdown will be legendary.

Get ready to meet Juan Wick and Nikola 'still in highschool' Jovic. Plus ECF MVP Caleb Martin will remember green is his favourite color.

Series went 7. How was that almost a sweep?

I actually forgot how delusional heat fans was. For a second I thought it wasn't going to be satisfying beating these bums but since they actually think they're winning it's gonna feel great.

No one is delusional on our side. Its just funny seeing how insecure you guys are and it will get better as the series unfolds.

We aint winning 4 out of 7 but we wont move aside like you expect.

I was just about to say this. I've never seen an almost sweep that went 7 games before. That's crazy!! Since we are playing that game though, the heat were a non Jayson Tatum injury away from blowing a 3-0 lead. :lol:

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised by Celtics in 4 or Miami in 6.

I don't think the Celtics are the killers that the regular season record suggests.

They dont have to be killers to beat this heat team in a stright forward fashion because without Jimmy in the last 2 series they dont go 7 and this Celtics team is arguably better.

What's there to be insecure Bout? Heat are trash. Been trash all year. Celtics whoop their ass all season. We the heat daddy and they know it.

Celtics in 4. Celtics in 7. It don't matter. I'm not even sure the heat could sell out a game without 70% of the arena being green baby.

This person is obviously trolling. They don't actually think the heat are beating the Celtics and they're already standing behind the excuse that the Celtics SHOULD win.

Which they will. Because the Heat lack NBA talent.

What excuse bro? Did i say we are gonna win? The only ones who keep bringing our injuries as a possible excuse are you guys. We understand what we got, we accept it and we will try to make the best of it.

Win or lose i'm cool as long as our guys give their best! And i'm sure Spo will bring their best out of them.

Finally a realistic take...

All kidding aside, Miami is going to play hard and still not be an easy out, but Miami is totally outgunned talent-wise. It'll be interesting to see how Spoestra approaches this, but I'd be inclined to try to stop everyone else and force Tatum to beat me on his own.

For Miami to have any chance at all they're going to need to shoot the lights out again.

I'm insecure? Lol. Lose to the Celtics again? Its like you've been hibernating for the past 4 years. This no NBA talent team bought your team tickets to Cancun less than a year ago. We we're a Butler 3 from being 3-0 against you frontrunners. You have everything to lose and you know it.

The denial is strong.

The Celtics are always in everyone's head. Be happy you get to be a part of history.
