2025 NBA Season

[wheelz1200]

Looks like Boston wasn’t ready to go fishing just yet. They outplayed the Heat in pretty much every category and with Bam being Miami’s leading scorer it won’t be easy for them to get a win. The Heat are still in control of this series so there isn’t reason to panic just yet, but I’m sure they don’t want to lose the next one and let this go to game 7.

No panic yet, but there will be a developing one comes game 6 especially when the Celtics are still in rhythm and will most probably going to outplay the Heat. 2 consecutive blowout games doesn't sound good to me even when the Heat is up 1 game away from the Finals. Like what I've said, they should never be comfortable until the job is done. Jimmy needs to wake up and shake things up to awaken his inner Jordan. Another lose on Saturday means they're most likely gonna throw this one away. Thing that I don't want it to happen as it validates the ESPN's analyst on the Heat's chances of winning, I can't take it that's just straight forward disrespectful.
Hope the Heat will finish this one up in game 6, because they're not gonna like it heading to game 7 lacking a lot of momentum.

A need for big adjustment for the Heat especially for Jimmy. Bam can't carry it alone, but with the whole squad, the winning chance is still good
for the Heat moving back home.

I would love to see Jimmy pressing the button of his cheat mode. Earlier it was the shooting stroke of Boston, especially the 3's that hurt
Miami as they really dominated from the rainbow arc.

Tight defense and good rotations of the ball is what I'm expecting from the Heat playing at home.

Jimmy won't have a bad game every time; he'll get better, especially on their home court. The Celtics have been fortunate to secure two straight wins, but they need to remember that the Heat only need one win to end the series. Therefore, the Heat must give everything they have in Game 6. It's now or never for them because losing Game 6 is akin to losing the series. It's not realistic to expect a win in Game 7 at the opponent's home court.

Jimmy's success leans on the teams 3 point shooting.  Jimmy plays in the paint and within 18 feet of the bucket.  If the heat don't light it up from beyond the arc the other teams can just pack it in tight and chokehold his game.  Weirdly enough Jimmy suffered with Vincent out of the starting lineup.  Heat have to win game 6 otherwise I think this one is over for them if it goes to a game 7.

We sometimes overreact due to the Celtics' comeback. However, let's look at the big picture. The Celtics won one on the road, which is acceptable, and won Game 5 at home, which is also fine. But the Heat won't allow themselves to lose again. Game 6 is their final opportunity, and they need to treat it that way. I believe Butler will be in cheat mode in Game 6 and will help end the series. The timing is great as it's a home game.

I'm sure bettors won't be placing their bets on the Celtics, given their two-game winning streak. However, the Heat in Game 6 will undoubtedly be a different team compared to the last two games.

Let's hope so because I will be betting for them again.

I just have doubts and not because the Miami Heat is not a skillful team, it is because they are undermanned now. Gabe Vincent is hurt and I hope he can play in Game 6. Caleb Martin almost hurt himself too in the game tonight. Just one more bad injury will put the Miami Heat down because they are forced now to use their reserve to fill the holes in their roster.
Haywood Highsmith did not play much in this playoffs unless it's garbage time but tonight Coach Spo was forced to put him in because of their lack of players. Kevin Love cannot stay for so long because of his ankle injury, Lowry also cannot play the full 40 minutes. This will be up to Bam Adebayo and Jimmy Butler now. They must play in a higher level, maybe higher than their last 3 wins in games 1 to 3.

The tide of the series are shifting in Boston direction. If Boston wins the game 6 it will be their series to lose but it will be hard to win it in Florida. Butler needs good night to make it happen.

[Johnyz]

Boston is now really back, two wins in a row, and both in a easy way
expected Miami to go Florida NHL route, sweep from position 8, but they are looking exhausted at the moment

Boston will obviously make finals with Denver more interesting, Miami would hardly get any win if they enter big finals
looking forward to next match, are we going to game 7, and big turnover

Yep! Celtics are indeed back! But will they manage to win the next game of the series ? that is the big question. Because no team has had a comeback from 3-0 in NBA history and I don't think Boston will be the one to break it and most likely series will go 4-2.

I agree with you that Celtics vs Denver will be a better final but Heat has proved this playoffs that they are indeed a good team that deserves to play the finals.

Celtics is not out yet, they are able to win 2 games and I think game 6 will also be a big win for them. Celtics might be the first team to create new history, let's just find out.

Heat proves a lot already from being a number 8 team going into the finals if they want to advance they should act better in game 6. Hard to choose which team will win honestly .

I don't know what's really going on as we all know that there are still have a possibility that the Boston Celtics will win in their next game and we all know how they played they are very good in both offense and defense they have the Momentum and also they have a good play and that's the reason why they will win the game 5 and in game 6 if Miami still don't beat the celtics then there's a chance that Boston can make a noise and nig comeback in the history of basketball.

[OgNasty]

I won’t go as far to say I think that Boston is going to come back from 0-3 and make it to the finals, but they do have a good chance. If they can win another one tomorrow then I think they’ll swap from being the impossible underdog to the likely winner. Last game they dominated the game in every way. The Heat should probably start getting worried.

That's where it is going. That little chance that they've got coming from a 0-3 standing, going to 2-3 well that's definitely a comeback. They might break the code but still, confidence still goes to the Heat.

If they win the next game, that's crucial for Heat and the wasted advantage that they've got to secure the finals. But then, we'll see on Saturday night if they'll push to max this series to game 7 or will Heat end it on 6.

I'm not going to remove that possibility as they manage to win a back-to-back game against Miami.

If they will snatch another game inside Miami's home court, it will be possible that they can win on their do-or-die
game 7, everything is possible and if Boston will take this one it will be a new written history that they'll going to make
as no one from a 3-0 deficit manage to come back and win the series.

Honestly, I also don't believe the Celtics will be able to win this series. However, if the Heat players perform as poorly in the next games as they performed in the last two games, the Celtics will definitely have a chance to win this series. It's worth noting that the Celtics literally had a 0% chance of winning the series a few days ago, but now they have a 16% chance of winning it. So anything is possible.

Nobody believed Boston when the series was 3-0, not just you, but Boston won the last 2 games very strong and remembered they are being the real favorites of the series. Game 6 will be very important. If Boston wins this away game, they can pass the finals in Game 7 at home. Teams that have scored 3-0 150 times in history have won, while the teams behind have never won. But there is a first time for everything. Perhaps Boston will break this series and become the first team in history to return from 3-0. Of course, for this, they must win the 6th game first, it will be a very difficult match. We can say that the mental advantage has passed to Boston. Not only Tatum and Brown, but also Derrick White and Al Horford make incredible contributions.

It would be recorded in the history books as the two teams that will play the Finals have break a history before reaching it then. The momentum was on the Boston now and they have to keep that phase but on the other hand I think Coach Spoelstra should break his approach as well during that 3 consecutive won of his team. I think decreasing the minutes of Butler wasn't the best of it and Vincent should play the next game as it's the most crucial game for them if they want to be on the finals.

Yes, it seems to be that the momentum has shift to Boston on the strength of their two wins in the road and at home. But still not done yet, Miami still leads the series and they are going to play at their home court next.

Still the pressure on the back of Celtics to win this and definitely it will be a hard fought game 6.

While the Nuggets are resting anad most likely coach Malone and this team are coming up with a strategy whichever team they are going to face in he finals.

Next game will be on Heat's homecourt, I doubt that it will be the same case because I don't think that the Miami Heat will just approve to lose the whole series after having a 3-0 run over the Boston Celtics. It will be a challenge of course but after what happened, I still have my heart on the Miami Heat.

It's become a really crazy game, and Boston Celtics just need to win the next game to force a game 7 with home court advantage, it's really going to be a really crazy scenario, and it's become almost the best series of the playoffs so far, but the Heat home would require more than what the Boston Celtics did in games 5 to win the next game.

I really hope that the Heat their absentees can be available so it's that can be somewhat even and more interesting.

With or without Vincent this is going to be a good game.  Last game miami walked into a trap game no way they were gonna win that one.  Home court this deep into the playoffs is a crazy thing.  And if Boston somehow sneaks out a game, that Boston crowd is gonna be unreal.  I hope Boston wins so we can see that game 7.

Game 6 will surely be intense and I think it's not only the Celtics being pressured here considering that if they win a game 7 will be on the Celtics home court. Celtics won the game 6 and 7 against Philadelphia and they're a better team in terms of stats afaik and I think it's not impossible if the Celtics do the same right here right now. The Nuggets are being favored, they have lot of days for preparation and they will witness how to counter both of these teams in ECF.

I think in history no one has ever went from 3-0 to winning the series 3-4 and i think this might just happen. I would really like to see a final between denver and boston i think it would be more intresting. Celtics are looking really good after the last two wins so i think they might win the next two games against the Heat

[FanEagle]

I certainly did not see this one coming, I expected Heat to finish it off, it is really marvelous to see Celtics clinging so much. However, nothing really changed for me and I believed that Heat would win this series and I still do believe that Heat will win it. Maybe it would be this game, or maybe the next one but Heat will do whatever they can to win the series.

There are absolutely no teams that has ever come back from 3-0 down ever before and I do not think that this would be the first one, we are going to be stuck with this no matter what. I hope that people would realize that it would not be really that much of a big deal, I really hope that it would end so that we can finally watch the finals because that's where the fun starts for real.

[Velvet78]

Miami Heat are the most surprising team at this point and they continue to surprise us. They made an incredible start against Celtics by getting 3-0 ahead in the series quickly. However Celtics finally started to stand their ground and fight back against them. Now the series is 3-2. However the next game is in Miami so maybe this might be the point where Celtics also say goodbye to the playoffs.

Butler has been performing incredibly so far and he must have the biggest contribution in his team's reaching this round in the playoffs. The regular season didn't even end well for this team but here we are now.

And we might even get another surprise and this game could lead up to the 7th, who knows? They've preserved some good players for the next match and that's why probably they'll be ending it by the 6th. But again, we didn't even expect that the Celtics will win 2 more games from 0-3 deficit.

However the next game is in Miami so maybe this might be the point where Celtics also say goodbye to the playoffs.

Just 1 more win for the Heat and this will end while for the Celtics, they're just 2 more wins away and if that happens then that's gonna be one of the greatest NBA history comebacks.
