this should be a 4-1 as long as the Heat don't injure somebody with their physical play.
Aaron Gordon, Devin Booker, Tyrese Halliburton, Trae Young, Anthony Edwards and Luka Doncic all made the Conference Finals.

Where’s Joel Embiid?

The series is so anti-climactic that the OP image makes no sense. Like why would Tatum post up Adebayo.

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.

Aah yes, the old "everyone in Boston is a dumb drunk Irish" take.

You mean like the Knicks did last year to manage to stretch their loss into a 6 game series?

Celtics are better with Pozingas and Holiday. Butler coasted all regular season to be ready for playoff Jimmy and now he is out. Bam hasn't been playing well. Heat won against the Bulls with $68 million in salary not playing (Rozier and Butler). Maybe the Heat steal a game, but I see Boston winning this pretty easily.

C's have traditionally been more talented than the Heat. This year is no different. Will the kids ever grow up or will they have a another meltdown playing against the boys from down the street again?

The problem has always been Jalen Brown and I'm not sure this year will be any different. Tatum is nice but Jalen needs to stop deferring if the Celtics want to win. Few have seen the Jalen im talking about but Jalen at his best would make the Celtics hard to beat, for ANY team.

If the Celtics don't sleep walk in any of the games, that is exactly what will happen. :nod: :thumbsup:

Celts in 5 but it will be more of a dogfight than it should be. Heat won’t lay down.

I mean, that one is actually true. Celtics had Miami on the ropes. 3 straight wins. And undeniably that ankle injury changed everything. Was visibly apparent.

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.

No way the Celtics are going to sweep the Heat. Even without Jimmy, Heat still have a lot of talent (Bam, Jaquez, Herro) and you know Spo is going to cook something up

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

This is a no-brainer. Celtics in 5.

The Celtics will have a night where the 3's aren't falling and Spo is always good for at least 1.

The heat haven't beat the Celtics all season. With or without Butler they stood no chance.
