2024 NBA Season

That was tough to swallow. You are 0.1 seconds away from being crowned the ECF champion and going to the NBA Finals but then you're going to a game 7 instead hehe. The Heat usually responds well when their back is against the wall but it would still be hard to recover from that loss. I think this will be the game that they would look back the most if they lose again in Boston. Kinda reminds me of the Ray Allen dagger against the Spurs.

Game 7 baby!

This has been one of the most entertaining series of all time. Worth all sleepless nights.

Whenever we play here in our place, and it's a very close one like what happened in Game 6, our coach always says to us to always look the player that's inbounding the ball because he's the most dangerous player at that sequence. Well, that's what happened in Game 6.

I really thought that the Heat got it with Butler's breath-taking three free throw shots, but the hero has been arise in the name of Derrick White. A hero has been went to south beach to try, and fulfill the history that hasn't been broken yet - the first team to win the series after having a 0-3 deficit. He's inbounding the ball at that time, and he made that game-winning shot. The whole Heat is stunned at that moment. Players, Coaches, fans who would've thought that they will see the Heat going to the NBA Finals already, even Pat Riley I guess are stunned because of what happened. I just remember again what they are always saying. Always defend your opponents until the final buzzer sounds because anything can happen before that.

One of the best Game 6's that I've watched in the playoffs since I started to watch. The feeling that I already thought that the Heat are the 2nd 8th seeded team to clinch the Finals, but it was spoiled by Derrick White. Anyway, I will say that Butler and Adebayo's shooting was awful tonight. 9/37 from the field? It's just good that they had 14 threes so that they can keep the game close. Those 4 undrafted players really stepped up big time. One adjustment that I saw is the Heat manage to slow down the Celtics in the threes because they only shot 7/35 from the field. They have a chance to win it. It's just that White really spoiled it.

Game 7 a few days from now, and we might see one of the longest records in history that has never been broken since to be broken. I can still remember what Brown, and Smart said in an interview. "Don't give us one." Well, now they're one win away from going to the NBA Finals, and making history.

Thanks to Bam, His single role for that play is to defend the hoop by getting the defensive rebound yet he just watching near the free throw line without any intention to get the rebound. You can clearly see the reply that he is just watching instead of repositioning for the rebound.

White will never have a chance to made that shot if Bam is doing his job. He is not doing more rebound lately which is why Miami is so weak on defense and extra possession. This confirmed that Boston will gonna win this series next game.

[tusandii]

That should be the mentality indeed. Avoiding another loss and the added pressure of traveling to Boston for a Game 7 would be crucial for the Heat. It's important for them to stay focused and give it their all in Game 6. Jimmy Butler has often been the X-factor for the team, and if he performs at his usual level and Miami's 3-point shooting remains consistent, it could lead to an exciting and victorious game in Miami. Let's hope for a fantastic performance from the Heat, and perhaps we'll see balloons drop in celebration.

Beating the Celtics should be done on this game 6 because if not, well that's a sad game 7 for them, potentially. And that's when the Celtics are going to celebrate and that's a big boost for their morale after that 0-3 deficit.

I actually don't expect Miami to beat the Boston Celtics in game 6 because I have high hopes for the Boston Celtics to get further wins in games 6 and 7 to get a good series.

Well see it tonight, it's just several hours away and we'll see if who's going to make it on game 6.

The 6th match has been completed and sure enough the Boston Celtics managed to win again, we will witness the 7th match which will determine who will be the winner.

Maybe some people will support Miami to win, but if you look at matches 4 and 5, Boston can beat Miami again in games 6 and 7.
After all I bet a bit on the Celtics.

As you can see, many people like Heat to win and they've got the support of the crowd thanks to ESPN's analytics that have proven them wrong at the beginning. But now, that stat is increasing close to its prediction every time the Heat lose.
Good luck with your bet man.

I admit Miami had a lot of supporters for them to win but the fact has emerged that in game 4 5 and 6 the Celtics have beaten them.
Maybe in game 7 the Celtics will win again and have a legitimate win in this series.
Speaking of which the 3 bets I've made on the Celtics have always paid off and they've been amazing.

[casperBGD]

Boston took it with a controversial buzzer beater, due to time changed before last attack
nervous match, Miami had chance to finish it all, but they didn't and their chances in seventh match are close to zero

congrats to White for anticipation in last attack, from delivering the ball to shooter to jump and shot with a buzzer

You are right.
In my opionion there is no way to recover from this. Can't have a bigger chance to seal the deal and now going back to Boston for a deciding game 7, Miami will go down.

My prediction, they will lose by at least 15 points.

History in the making. Coming back from 0:3 already has never been done, but doing it losing the first 2 games at home is especially hard. Boston will pull this off 100% now.

Does anyone know what the odds for this comeback were? Since it never happened they must have been huge.

Could be the biggest single game that will chance the course of this series in favor of the Boston Celtics. And I do agree, it's hard to swallow when you're team is just less than a second to that eventual victory.

But this is why we love the sports of basketball, and as we have predicted this game is going to be very close.

And yes we are right, but we didn't see it happening in a controversial way and the hero of this game is White who is a guard and yet was able to get that ball back and score.

Do you mean a bet offer for Boston winning the series during 0:3? According to the sports news article https://hardwoodhoudini.com/2023/05/23/celtics-odds-win-series-can-boston-make-history-3-0/ , The odds of Celtics overcoming a 0:3 deficit is +700 or an 8.0 on decimal format. I knew that this was kinda low from your expectation but the team involved is the top seed while the other is just an 8th seed. Boston does the same as Philadelphia when they are 3-2.

It shows now how good Boston is during crucial games.

White is underrated, but he had a clean game and emerged as the winner. However, I've seen a lot of videos circulating online suggesting that the game was rigged. According to these videos, when Butler was fouled, the time left should have been 2.7 seconds. However, the Celtics were given 3 seconds, so if it had been 2.7 seconds, the Heat would have won the game, as White was able to tip the ball with only 0.2 seconds left in the game.

What are your opinions about that issue?

[boltz]

Whoever took Boston to win the series when they were down 3-0 , it must feel good and if I were you and I have a cashout option , I would do it to be honest.

I tend to forget that Heat really had 3-0 in this series but I still see them winning by 4-2 and moving into finals.

Also , if I do know well ...if Boston wins , it will be the first team in NBA history to win a series in playoffs after being down 3-0 right ?

[xzone]

It was an incredible endgame, I honestly thought the Miami Heat would beat it, but things changed at the last second. A really exciting final match will be waiting for us. Both teams need to be very well prepared, the team with better individual player performance will win the last match. It was one of the most exciting series we have watched in recent years

We really can't take that opinion and speculation away, as that can create a big impact on the possible outcome.

But it had happened and official gives Boston that time, enough to tip the follow up and snatch the game away from Miami. It's not
the outcome for Miami fans and for those who bet for Miami to win the game/series as it should be done now if the clock
adjustments didn't favor Boston. It's tough to prove that unless there's investigation that will happen on this matter.

Who would have expected Boston to be able to come back? Now they are the favorites to win the series after being down 0-3. I would say they were fortunate to get that last shot. There are some controversies among fans suggesting that the game should be investigated. However, it's all in the past now, and we have to move on. Especially for the Heat fans, there's still one game left, so don't worry.

I also watch the video circulating in youtube. If other wants to see it here's the link https://youtu.be/YLX3FHzgCq4

If Heat really feel that they had been rigged they should protest it. But for sure they know that officials adjust the time according to the last motion. Its just White is so lucky to hit that game winning shot so maybe Heat should do more better on game 7. If they let Celtics fire up on their last game then this is big defeat on their franchise.

This series is really unreal. And I cannot even remember the odds when Miami was leading 3-0 with the 4th game still on their home court. I did remember that Boston was the betting favorite in games 4 (Miami court), 5 (Boston court), and 6 (Miami court). The best way to cash out was probably after Boston won game 5 at home. Now this game 7 is clearly much more in Boston's favor and the odds are probably not closer than it used to be. And I'm not even surprised if Boston all of a sudden becomes the favorite once again to win the championships over Denver if they beat Miami in game 7.

I wonder if there are still a lot of people that are rooting for Miami to win game 7. I am a Miami fan so I want them to win but I won't bet this time. How I wish I accepted the plus earlier today, I would've won. I was just a little confident that Miami will win because it seems like it is their last-best chance to close the series.

[Velvet78]

The series has come to 3-3 from a 3-0 Heat lead in an insane way last night. There was only 0.1 second left for the end of the game after Smart's three-point attempt failed. But Derrick White was there to tip the ball just before the time was up. It was a very epic finale for a game like that honestly. Game 7 is surely going to be very lovely and exciting to watch for us.

Heat's reaching this round is even a surprise and they are doing more and more every time. But now we never know if they can do this again. Because Celtics have the wind on their back now.

[LGD2Business]

It was a very volatile match. Boston led the game for a long time, but Miami took the lead in the last minutes. If Jimmy Butler had played well from the start, maybe Miami would have won the game. Butler only showed up at the last minutes. Just when people saying Miami won the match, things changed in the last 3 seconds. With the entire team focused on Tatum and Brown, Marcus Smart attempted an early three-pointer. I think it was a very bad choice, but trying this early left time for the rebound and White tipped the ball with 0.1 seconds left. Normally, no one expects dutymen like Smart and White to play the last ball. It was an interesting finish in that respect.
As a result, the series moved to game 7. Only 3 teams in history have been able to do this, the 4th was the Boston Celtics. Previously, 3 teams from behind also lost the 7th game, let's see if there will be a different result this time.

One of the most memorable comebacks of all time and if it happens in game 7, I think that will be the greatest buzzer-beater of all time. Now that they finally made it to game 7 despite all their struggles in the first 3 games, I think they deserve to win the ECF this year, and too bad for the Miami Heat that they only have one chance to turn off the hype on the Boston Celtics because if they cannot do that, they will gonna wear the embarrassment of this century as the worse team to play the NBA playoffs.

To be fair, Boston is the one that saving from embarrassment here since they are the 2nd seed on Eastern Conference and they are close to be sweep. There is nothing to be ashamed for Heat since they are least expected to be on that spot if they didn't magically eliminate Bucks.

The series is still not over for heat and they show a sign of redemption on the last quarter after Jimmy Butler clutch shots. Jimmy already gained the confidence that he is missing since game 4. I think Miami should fix the role of Bam, probably use different player since he surely not in perfect form in both offense and defence. He is committing a lot of error and no sign of improvement even until the end.

It was a match that the one who deserved won. I thought Miami would win and finish 4-2 before the match. But the players, especially adebayo and butler, did not believe as much as I did. Do not look at the numbers scored by the butler in the last minutes, the man played a disgrace for 40 minutes. Adebayo gave a 10-0 series to boston with his foul and the block he ate. I'm not talking about Robinson, yes he missed 2 empty shots, but before that, he kept the team alive by made 2 hard shots while butler and adebayo were playing disgrace. In the last empty space he missed, maybe he would have had more chances if he had just shot without hesitation, but I think that he paused for a moment and thought that he would not enter, preventing him from shooting comfortably in the empty position. Game 7 looks like it will be very solid, Butler and Adebayo will play differently. Actually, they utterly must!
