2024 NBA Season

[Vaculin]

I seriously did not see this coming, every game I say that Heat will win this time, first it was sweep, then I said 5th game, now I said 6th game and was wrong, well it's about to be 7th game and I wonder what's going to happen. I can't wait to see this because it would be worlds first ever 3-0 comeback and that has a nice ring to it, wouldn't mind it at all.

I think I am going to bet on Celtics, I bet on Heat so far so long and lost, and I think it is obvious that Heat is losing this due to not having enough confidence in themselves and Celtics has a huge momentum. Obviously Heat had momentum of 3-0 as well, and they lost, so Celtics does have the exact same 3 in a row momentum as well and maybe they will lose too? Hmm.. maybe I will refrain from betting this one and just watch as a fan of the game.

A tough match to bet, both teams will do anything to win this match. On the one hand, there is the demoralization of the Miami Heat, but on the other hand, there is the Boston Celtics, who want to achieve an unprecedented success in history. Their motivation is quite high and they are very close to winning this series.
I would love for Butler to win this series, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'm looking forward to the match

It will be a big disappointment and an embarrassment for the Miami Heat if they will fail to win this time, there are just too many games that they have wasted when they could've already fought their way to finish the series but they cannot just force it because the Celtics has been giving them a tough job in completing what is needed. Hence why we have come to Game 7 that will happen some time later. It will be a very tight game for sure as neither one of them is willing to give a huge gap, and I'm looking forward to see a low scoring game as well.

This is going to be one of the most epic games that was ever played, I can't wait to see how the 7th game will turn out. I am not betting on it, I lost sooo much money on the last 3 games when I wagered on Heat, I wagered more and more each time thinking "this is the time!" thinkin they will eventually get it.

I am done trying to make it back, each time I did I lost, maybe Miami will actually win the 7th game, and if I wagered on them maybe I would get it all back, it's a possibility, I see it 50-50% at this point and anything could happen. But I am done risking all my money all the time, it reached to a level where I am not comfortable betting that much on a single game, if I lose then I would be losing more than I could afford and I don't do that. So I will refrain.

It was a tough job indeed for the Miami Heat, that is why they failed to finish the series much earlier after having the 3-0 lead and which they blew afterwards. The way I see it, the Miami Heat already picked some lessons on their three straight defeats and as we can see in Game 6, if the Celtics wasn't that lucky to shoot the ball in just a matter of split seconds, the series could have had already ended by this time. That said, I'm looking forward for the Heat to finish what they have started.

[ChiBitCTy]

Can’t wait to see this game tonight. At this point in time I don’t think there’s any chance of the Celtics being the winners of this one. Jimmy Butler is surely one of the greatest playoffs players I’ve ever seen but I feel like all the momentum is with the Celtics at this point.  Not sure I’m going to throw anything down on it, but trying to figure that out now.

[livingfree]

What a game, what a come back.

It seems that we know that where this game is going to end but who knows? Everything was perfect for Celtics and this wasn't too easy for a team to have that 3 wins straight.

But we'll see if game 7 is still theirs but maybe it is and the court will be theirs. Will it be for the Celtics and a straight 4 wins gonna make them history or Heat will have to take it back for that very 1 needed win?

Yes, three minutes to go and we thought that the series will go on a 7 games series. But not yet for the Heat and Jimmy Butler, make a huge comeback and then Jimmy had to sink 3 crucial free throws to make it a one point lead, so they come alive and going to finished it. But then come the miracle tip in by Derrick White. And it just proved that it's not over if there are still precious seconds in the clock. It was a good play by the Celtics though, Tatum and Brown are not available, so it was Smart who takes the ball.

Yeah, that free throw he made thought that the Celtics were done for. If it's not really for White, the game has ended and we're probably going to watch in a few moments the Heat and the Nuggets but not yet.

Later on, we'll see the final game for these both teams. And this is it, one will have to end the series and the other one will proceed to the finals while Nuggets have taken all the rest they needed in preparation for whoever wins this match tonight.

[blockman]

All this just so Denver can sweep through the finals

Man, spitting some facts. 
While these two teams are having like one of the greatest rivalry, Denver is chilling somewhere and already prepared whether it's Heat or Celtics going for them.

The way Denver sweeps the Lakers. I will go with both of you. The chance that they can also sweep whoever wins the East finals
might also take place, if both Jokic and Murray will play that same monstrous game when they beat Lakers.

It's possible but we'll have to be patient and wait for whoever is gonna win the match tonight. Murray and Jokic tandem are probably one of the best but very underrated.

Can’t wait to see this game tonight. At this point in time I don’t think there’s any chance of the Celtics being the winners of this one. Jimmy Butler is surely one of the greatest playoffs players I’ve ever seen but I feel like all the momentum is with the Celtics at this point.  Not sure I’m going to throw anything down on it, but trying to figure that out now.

Many are still counting on Heat with all of the lead that they have and even Celtics took all of that deficit and managed to win and everything. But for this match, we all have to wait and see who's going to step up and will make their entry to the finals against the waiting Nuggets.

[Baofeng]

This is going to be one of the most epic games that was ever played, I can't wait to see how the 7th game will turn out. I am not betting on it, I lost sooo much money on the last 3 games when I wagered on Heat, I wagered more and more each time thinking "this is the time!" thinkin they will eventually get it.

I am done trying to make it back, each time I did I lost, maybe Miami will actually win the 7th game, and if I wagered on them maybe I would get it all back, it's a possibility, I see it 50-50% at this point and anything could happen. But I am done risking all my money all the time, it reached to a level where I am not comfortable betting that much on a single game, if I lose then I would be losing more than I could afford and I don't do that. So I will refrain.

No worries mate, you are not the only one banking on the Heat to win the series and losing money in the last 3 games, hehehe. But this could be the last time though, again I will be on the Heat's bandwagon on this game 7 decider at ML, it's too good not to go to and I think the numbers still favors them, unless they are going to be unlucky again. So it's either going to be a big blow up win by the Celtics, Tatum showing his wares in this game 7 and scoring 30+ or more, or Jimmy Butler's having his own run, and forget about game 6, have a good shooting night, no one can guard him and then they win the series in a very close game again. So just one game to see if we can get back some money betting on the Heat ML, still juicy at 3.45.

[Volgastallion]

I was on a travel so i cant comment here but, i cant believe how Boston Celtics wins the other day, im writing this just before the last game, in TD garden Miami has very low expectation but, you know this NBA and most of all this series its full of surprises.

In the other hand i can see jokic coming with a good rest.

[OgNasty]

I was just reading about Miami being 0-10 when being officiated by this referee team. So tonight Miami is trying to stop Boston from making history while trying to win their first game with this officiating crew. Between that, Boston wanting to make history, and being in Boston at the Garden with this officiating crew, it seem like the Heat have a lot stacked against them.

[EFS]

It's time for the game everyone has been waiting for. Since the series was 3-2, I thought the Celtics would make it to the finals, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Heat win today. The 6th game was very close but today we may see a different scenario. Celtics seem to have the advantage in many areas but there is Jimmy Butler reality against them.

I am also expecting the Heat to win. This is going to be hard of course because the Celtics have got the momentum and this is also played in the Celtics' homecourt, but I think Butler and the bench are going to snatch a victory.

This early though Adebayo is already having 3 personal fouls. It's going to be a problem. But Highsmith is kind of upbeat at the moment. He can fill Adebayo's shoes.

The Heat is about to win, but I wouldn't be confident until the game finally ends. Or should I say with the time remaining and this lead that the Heat has can be said that they're about to win. With 20 points lead and few minutes left, I guess this an early celebration for those that have been counting Heat to the finals.

This early though Adebayo is already having 3 personal fouls. It's going to be a problem. But Highsmith is kind of upbeat at the moment. He can fill Adebayo's shoes.

Funny how Adebayo keeps on shooting outside when he can just go and hit under the ring. Btw, 5:20 minutes left, and the score is 96-73 and Heat is taking the lead.

And the Heat guys have won. They deserve it. History is not for the Celtics to make.

It's just unfortunate that Tatum was not in his perfect condition when the game ended. I think it should have been a much closer game had he not twisted that ankle in the middle of the game.

But great job to the Heat. They have defied the odds and the expectations. Now they are on to the finals facing no less than the heavily favorite Denver Nuggets.

[MK-74]

I watched the game from start to finish.
Miami Heat played very well and won.
Boston Celtics were so terrible tonight, I didn't expect a game like this from them.

Caleb Martin is improving every day. He played a very good game tonight. Miami Heat owes him a lot.

[EFS]

Well deserved win for Heat. They made it to the finals from 8th seed, first time in history -except short lockout season-.
3-0 to 3-3 teams lost again, that's 151-0 now. Either way we had witnessed a historical moment.

It's just unfortunate that Tatum was not in his perfect condition when the game ended. I think it should have been a much closer game had he not twisted that ankle in the middle of the game.

It was literally the first attack, first minute of the game. It's very unfortunate for Celtics, but there are such moments in sports, that's the part of the game.
White also had a small injury and Jaylen Brown, I don't know what to say. He choked so bad. On the other hand Caleb Martin had the best game of his career.

Well deserved win for Heat. They made it to the finals from 8th seed, first time in history -except short lockout season-.
3-0 to 3-3 teams lost again, that's 151-0 now. Either way we had witnessed a historical moment.

I will just add some history with this one.
- The Heat are the 2nd 8th seeded team in NBA history to clinch the NBA Finals. First is the 98-99 Knicks.
- The Celtics are the 4th team to force a Game 7 after being down 0-3. The first 3 teams who forced it has been played away, thus they lost. Celtics are the first ones to play on their home, and yet they lost.
- The Heat are now 68-0 in franchise history when they are leading by 10+ point entering 4th quarter.
- The whole Heat team got 12 turnovers. Brown himself got 8 turnovers.

They lost because they shot very awful on the three-point area. In the first half alone, they only got 1 three point shot out of many attempts. If somebody here watched, and observed the whole series, you already knew that the Celtics will lost just because of how bad they shot threes. When they needed it the most, they failed from it. "Live by three, Die by three". That's their motto, and tonight they lost because of it.

It's just unfortunate that Tatum was not in his perfect condition when the game ended. I think it should have been a much closer game had he not twisted that ankle in the middle of the game.

Tatum suffered from a left ankle injury at the very first minute of the game, and you can see how hurtful it is base on his reaction after that. I believe that hinders him to play with full potential. On the other hand, their second best player in Brown just choked all throughout the game. How can he get 8 turnovers in a single game, and shot only 8/23. As an all-NBA team, that's unacceptable.

I think that the Nuggets has to do something with this undrafted players of the Heat. Caleb Martin is the X-factor on this game. Their 4 undrafted players scored almost half of their total points. It's just amazing how Coach Spo develop these undrafted players to the point where they can carry the whole team offensively when needed the most. Congratulations to the whole Heat team. Now they will be facing the Nuggets a few days from now. I'm just thinking what the match-ups will be.
- Murray Vs. Butler. Murray is also a good defender, aside from him being a terrific shooter. There are times where he stopped Lebron in their series against the Lakers, so I think he can do something to stop Butler.
- Jokic Vs. , and I don't think that Adebayo can keep up with him TBH, so I don't know who will defend him in most of the game.

Aside from that, the Nuggets also have MPJ, Brown, and KCP to defend those undrafted players. It's a good run for the Heat TBH, but I predict that this will end in 5 games. That's how good the Nuggets is this season for me.

Yes, my bad. It wasn't in the "middle" of the game. It was actually in the earliest minute of the game. That was just unfortunate. Although Tatum managed to continue playing all throughout the game, we simply couldn't expect him to function properly. We saw him drive to the basket but every time he lands he grimaces in pain. That was a lot offense and defense lost from the side of the Celtics. Not to mention the morale and the psychological impact it had on the entire team. That's a sad conference finals.

Caleb Martin deserves a raise. I just love how this playoffs season turned out for the likes of him. They're stealing the show. The Heat has a lot of these kinds of players. So are the Lakers and Nuggets and the rest of the teams.

Well deserved win for Heat. They made it to the finals from 8th seed, first time in history -except short lockout season-.
3-0 to 3-3 teams lost again, that's 151-0 now. Either way we had witnessed a historical moment.

Truly well deserved. They could've done that in Games 4 and 6 but Butler seems to having a lot of trouble with his confidence. That cannot happen in their series against the Denver Nuggets.

On the other hand Caleb Martin had the best game of his career.

I agree with Kenny Smith (TNT) on what he said, Caleb Martin also deserves the Conference MVP. He was the only one that stayed consistent in the series, or better, the whole playoffs. After this, a max contract should be provided for him with better pay, he will surely help the Miami Heat be consistent in the playoffs too. Caleb Martin was hot tonight and there's even a time he tried a heat check which is funny because that's the first time I saw him do that.
Undrafted and a gem found by the Heat that can be polished on both ends of the floor. He can shoot, he can attack, and he certainly can D. That's their future including Tyler Herro once he recovers from his injury.

Let's talk Nuggets versus Heat. Predictions?

[Yogee]

Caleb's highly efficient shooting couldn't have come at a better time. Team's overall shot percentage is good but that guy is on fire in game 7. This is one of the strengths of the Heat - the unpredictability of these underrated players makes them difficult to read. If it's not Caleb then it's Max or Gabe that steps up to help Jimmy. I hope these guys get better contracts. They deserve it.

I hope the Finals become entertaining as well. I'm rooting for Nuggets in 6 for now. Heat may steal game 1 or game 2 in Denver.

[Oasisman]

This early though Adebayo is already having 3 personal fouls. It's going to be a problem. But Highsmith is kind of upbeat at the moment. He can fill Adebayo's shoes.

Funny how Adebayo keeps on shooting outside when he can just go and hit under the ring. Btw, 5:20 minutes left, and the score is 96-73 and Heat is taking the lead.

It's just unfortunate that Tatum was not in his perfect condition when the game ended. I think it should have been a much closer game had he not twisted that ankle in the middle of the game.

I can't tell if it's still gonna be a close game even if Tatum did not suffered from that early game injury. I mean the Celtics were shooting terrible tonight. 15 pts in the first quarter with 0-11 behind the arc early in the game, then struggled to get a bucket in the 2nd quarter. Almost everyone from the Celtics was not efficient. Tatum may have put more pressure in his injury as he was evidently in pain every time he jump and landed with that same foot, but we all could understand that it was a very important game for them. However, the flow of the whole game was one-sided, the only player the Heat have that struggled to score was only Adebayo, rest of the team were everywhere hitting 3s cutting the lanes and converting a good plays.  A well deserved when for the Heat, I really thought they have lost their momentum after the 3 consecutive losses.

Now, let's move forward with the NBA finals. I think the Nuggets are a more stronger team than the Heat as they have the size and height advantages. If the Heat can be as efficient as they are tonight, they are gonna somehow win it all.
