2024 NBA Season

I really like how Miami is playing also...
They have turned into a complete new team in the bubble and have been playing some good ball. Celtics is giving them a good fight but Miami always seems to shift up their play in the 2nd half and thats where they show their true class.
Down 13 at half... and that 3rd Quarter! Wow!

That 3rd Quarter where Miami dominates too strong to handle for Boston, what makes them very interesting to watch is when they've chased you
up it's really difficult to make good plays once all your opponents are moving too well.

Rotating from time to time not allowing any easy basket, plus the cast where they also keep looking for anyone who will take the shot, Dragic,
Robinson with Hero , Bam and Butler.

Complete packages from both offense and defense with full determinations
to win. 2-0 Miami leading all the way as they always have answer with every attempts
of Boston to pull out.

It's game over now for the Boston Celtics. They might win 1 game but I believe it's over now for them. They have been quarrelling and yelling and throwing things in the locker room. How'd do you expect the tainted team chemistry now?
There's still a slight chance if they pull a big W in game 3, but if they still keep playing a close game, they won't stand a chance to reach the Finals then.

You really think its over for them?
I mean they havent been playing bad ball, they are just getting outscored/outplayed in the 2nd half...
Im pretty sure they get Game 3, well I thought the same thing about game 2 at half until the Heat blew them out of the water.

What can you say about this guys?

Celtics' Marcus Smart reportedly explodes at teammates in locker room after Game 2 loss to Heat



You can see how disappointed he is, but blaming teammates is not good, they might get sweep on this series.

Their composure isn't there already. Their chemistry isn't there already. They are fighting in the locker room and yelling each other like you said.
Even though it happened, I don't think that the chances of Boston winning the series are that low to none already. There is still a 7% chance for them to win a series since only 20 out 282 teams are able to win by being down 0-2.

It happened again. In Game 1 Boston lead by double digits and Miami adjusted and won the game. Same scenario happened in Game 2. The Celtics are in the lead by double digits again and the Heat created some adjustments and won the game again. That is how veteran Heat coach is . I will stand to my prediction. Heat in 6 games and they will face Lakers in NBA Finals .

I would not see that as a sign that it is over for them, that can actually be a good catalyst for the players to vent out, throw all the frustration out and then come back together as a more determined team.Miami is trying to run away with the series and I would like Miami to go through, but I do hope that Boston will win next one and give us more game in this series.

Exactly, the took notes of the mistakes in the first half, made some adjustments and came out looking like a totally different team. That 3rd Quarter was massive and really showed that this team is clicking on all cylinders. Im pretty sure that this series will go to about 6 Games as you said and they will destroy the Lakers to become Champions.

The frustrations came out, going 0-2 is no joke. They had a very comfortable lead after the half time but they allowed the Heat to come back, where are their defense? it looks like they aren't playing with good chemistry as some looks not paying attention with their man to man defense.

I like how the heat came back on this one, I think they already expose the weakness of the Celtics Team.

Now, I think we will see  Heat vs Nuggets NBA Finals.

@NBA experts in this thread, do you think that Miami can beat Lebron and Anthony Davies' Lakers in a best of 7 series? I was not convinced, however I am slowly being convinced after the Heat beat Celtics from being the losng team in game 2 hehe.

Wait a minute. Lakers still need to overcome the Nuggets.
It's like you are saying it is already a win for the Lakers.
It may become Nuggets vs Heat. 
Sorry, I am a big fan of the Nuggets team.

I watch analysts predict every game especially with the Clippers vs Nuggets.
They all thought it's going to be the LA vs LA. But greatness suddenly happened.
So does with Miami Heat. Did those analysts really predicted this to happen?

2/13 predicted in this tweet. Maybe more since the image was cut.

Hard to follow the experts, they make predictions for us to lose. Their prediction is what majority follow so bookmakers knows how to play with us. They might be right but not all the time and again they are proven wrong, this time. So if everyone think that Lakers will be a champion this season, then they could also be wrong.

Im a Lakers fan and i dont think that Nuggets can easily get that spot without having a good fight.Expected for Celtics to be consistent through all the quarters but Miami did really make some adjustments
on second half.

Celtics should be consistent when it comes to defenses.This is the one thing i have observed on later quarter on where defenses become weaken and also Miami's coordination becomes more
better which i cant really say that this is some sort of lucky comeback.

They do show on what they made of and also with those blaming time and quarreling in Celts then i can say that it isnt bad to show or express frustration but it isnt really time for that
and its better to make adjustments if they dont like for them to get sweeped.

You can read this one - https://www.oddsshark.com/nba/nba-teams-down-0-2-playoff-series-have-brutal-history..

NBA Teams Down 2-0 in Seven-Game Playoff Series Have a Brutal History

In the list, there are only few teams what were able to come back.

Now I'm afraid that this will become true. Celtics are already 0-2 now, they might win in game 3 and game 4 but I still think Miami Heat will advance in the Semi Finals based on the history data displayed in the link above.

I hope they could do that. I don't know if this is the play Miami are trying to show us but they've been making great defense that even with a lot of leads they're opponent has, they are still winning. Saying that, if Boston Celtics can't hold their ground with that lead, they will be having a hard time stretching this game to game 6, how much more of a game 7.

Boston are known with that, they can't hold their lead, if you still remember their last series against the Raptors, there were a lot of times that they are leading but Raptors rally to beat them. Raptors are just a downgrade of Miami that's why they are having some real trouble now.

Expect a good fight from Celtics in game 3, they would not allow to go 0-3 as that is close to defeat in the series.

The fight was only between Smart and his team, lol.. if they like a fight they should make this game an under by giving their best defense. They lose in this game because they lack defense in the 3rd quarter and being down 0-2 after a great performance in the past two series, that would probably affect their confidence as a team.

Down 13 at half... and that 3rd Quarter! Wow!

Even though the miami had no dwayne wade already, they get to the play-offs by the help of former MVP iguodala. What happens to my favourite team, celtics? They just beat by rookies? How come Tatum and other players accept this. Hoping that they will take the 3rd Game in order to extend the series. Clippers was my favorite team as well but it was slayed already by Nuggets. I think Lakers have now guarantee to take the championship in this season.

iguodala helps but not a big contributor to the team, but maybe he will be called to guard Lebron James once they will finish the Celtics and go to the NBA FINALS.

Yeah, you see it? That's how good the Heat are, they trust their Rookies to beat the Celtics.
But wait, aside from Herro and Robinson being productive in this series, we also have Dragic who is so consistent thus far.

How come Tatum and other players accept this. Hoping that they will take the 3rd Game in order to extend the series. Clippers was my favorite team as well but it was slayed already by Nuggets. I think Lakers have now guarantee to take the championship in this season.

Chemistry matters a lot, celtics are full of talent but their Chemistry is not perfect.

The big fight in the locker room was probably something normal, I mean I have been involved with basketball teams before and I can tell you that when there is a big loss that you did not expected at all you end up being angry with each other, not because you dislike them or anything, they are your teammates and you love them but you get angry because everyone did a mistake, you yourself did as well but one has to speak up and knowing Marcus Smart and how he is a big faker he was the one who talked first and that rolled into bigger and bigger.

This is not something to worry about, all teams when they lose an important match has this type of situations, it is quite common in team sports. Obviously Miami is just playing on a whole another level right now so I think Celtics will have to yell a lot harder to each other because I do not see them winning this series.
