Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics)

[crzy]

Celtics is the Eastern Conference Champion!
The last 3 point attempt by Butler is very crucial, he should not shot that in a hurry or at least go for the 2 points shot so they can tied with Celtics at score of 98 and go for OT, that was a very costly mistake for him and a shot to remember. Congrats for Celtics after years of being out in the finals now they came back stronger.

Agree on this. They are craving to take the lead even before that crucial shot that make them loss so much field goal attempt. The last mistake of Butler shows how he is too confident to himself that he didn't wait for his teammate to be on position if he really wants that shot. He should atleast drive inside and get a potential 3 point play by getting foul counted since the only defender that time is Horford which is easy for him to get an easy foul due to AL size.

Still good thing that Boston so that GSW will finally get a good fight that they deserve. I'm hoping for a game 7 on this upcoming NBA finals.

The Finals matchup has been set, and everyone gets excited whoever wins this NBA title. Celtics vs Warriors for the NBA title, not only a battle of their respective coaches but definitely its for the best team to win, and all team members must have prepared their defense and shooting skills for that. Both Celtics and Warriors are tough so expect that this will be another memorable game that  will amaze everyone, so good luck for both of the team.

This is the last game for both of them on this semis and it's going to force each of them at their best.

It's the conference finals, yes, they will give their best as no more excuses for this game. Hopefully the Celtics will not complain more to the refs like they did in game 6 because it will only loss their focus on the game, a team with great focus and teamwork should win.

Celtics got in, so it's GSW and them. Good luck to both teams then.

It's always the better team that wins and that's why at the end they're proclaimed as the champions of the season per se. The crowd is thinking about Warriors to be getting this year's ring but we don't know, let's just wait and see.

Warriors are showing their championship form, they always bounce back after every lose and have dominated their opponents.

1st round = 4-1
2nd round = 4-2
WCF = 4-1

That numbers are very scary, they may not be the old team but I think they are better now.
With Curry who still is very consistent, and Thompson found his rhythm again, I guess they would give a problem to their opponent.

The duo for the Dub nation will always be the best of them on that team. They're always showing who they are and they always give their best. And with this finals, it's for sure that they'll be able to get into hand in hand match against Celtics. The game 1 is one of the intensed number of the finals because whoevers fire up and wins it, gets the confidence.

Yes, now it's going to be the Celtics vs the Warriors. I thought that it will be Miami, nevertheless it is a good match up for the Warriors. Celtics might be a difficult match up.

So congrats to those who have backup the Celtics in their series against the Heat. I wanted to see the Heat again go into the finals, but I guess Celtics deserves it more this year as they really work very hard for it. Jayson Tatum now, a true superstar.

I think Udonis Haslem can easily go retire now, now that Draymond really has predicted that broken code. Well, congratulations to the Celtics making it to the Finals. Saw a thread about the revenge tour of Celtics in Facebook (Meta) after losing from past 2019-2021 playoffs from Nets, Bucks and Heat, they now made it to the Finals beating these teams in just 1 playoff this year alone. Just wow!

Celtics wasn't the favorite team to make it to the Finals but against all odds they made it, more like an underdog for this match against Warriors since this time people's favorite is Warriors to win the Finals. Of course, we love underdogs and of course, I go for Celtics.

Celtics really deserved it, after all the hardwork they finally reached the finals. It was a bit thrilling on the finals minute of the game as Celtics became lost for a minute as they carelessly didn't hold on to a 10 point lead. Lucky, Jimmy didn't make the three.
Who else right here who appreciates what Butler did on that last crucial possession? Heat and Butler is drained and won't probably going to win the OT. That was a bad decision and shot selection for Butler at first sight, but nah, that was the right thing to do. Live or die with that 3.

Game 7 will be tomorrow, finally, we will see the biggest game so far in the playoffs.

I like the status of the Heat here, they are the home team, and yet they are underdog per sportsbook betting odds.
Butler has to drop a good number, that way their chance to win is good.

There is a reason why they are the "underdogs" even though they lead the eastern conference and they still took the series to 7 game and basically they look like it is equal betting right now, it is just that Celtics looked a bit more comfortable on games they won, whereas Heat looked a bit less comfortable when they won.

So, people assumed Celtics could win easily if they play their game well enough, but to be fair if Heat could hit their threes again, I believe they could win equally. I would put this game to 2.50-2.50 odds equally to be fair, because to me these two teams are equally good and there is no difference between them at all.

I think you what you meant is that the Miami Heat have managed to win some games but barely compared to the Boston Celtics who have dominated them if they win some games.

The bookies are seeing them as an underdog because they are undermanned and the rest of the roster are just nursing their injury while playing. So, the Celtics indeed have some advantage. Also, people don't really expected that Jimmy Butler could duplicate his performance on Game 6 and carry the team again.

And looks like they were right after all because the Celtics have won the conference.

[Yamifoud]

Congratulations to the Celtics for winning the ECF. That was a hell of a game, Heat almost made it, if only Butler did not rush his decision, he shots a 3 point instead of attacking, I don't know what he was thinking, maybe he just want his team to be ahead, but his shot is not a high percentage shot, there's a better shot than that. What a waste of effort, they could have a comeback win.

[freedomgo]

Celtics have dominated the entire game, they started with a big lead in the 1st quarter and Heat were slowly getting back in the game in the 2nd half, but this time, it was the Celtics who were able to maint their composure, and the Heat's 3 point shooting was not effective when it's needed most.

Great series, it has surely entertained the fans, and now let's welcome the NBA Finals, Celtics vs Warriors.

6/30 3 point shooting. That's a bad ratio. It's both combination of hardcore defense of the Celtics and a bad night for the Miami Heat.
Strus 2/7, Vincent 1/3, Tucker 0/2. This ain't the average we have seen from them. They usually make those 3 point shots as long as they are open and they had their chances but just an off night.
I took a bet for the Miami Heat here as I thought they were the better team after winning Game 6. I was wrong but thumbs up to their performance.

Yeah, missed the live game tbh but watching the replay and highlights they literally blow it on the beginning of the game but Heat catch-up and that was the thriling one, if Jimmy didn't take that three, take a timeout, or instead go head onto the paint, that would have even tied the game or make a winning.

Butler and Adebayo are the ones lifting them up but that was a crucial mistake I guess for Jimmy, they have plenty of time or they at least have maximize that tone last timeout. Coaching staff would be at fault once again I guess, they should've look at it. Anyways, it's over, better luck again for them the next time.

They almost wasted their opportunity, Smart made a lot of attempts in the 3 point line but it did not sink in, it seemed like they allow him to shoot. Unfortunately their rally is not enough because they still fall short in the end, Butler was the best player but he was also partly to be blame because of his last shot that did not went it.

I seriously think that Butler didn't rushed that shot, they cannot make it through the end of the game if he forced an OT. That is why he suddenly tried to shoot a long three even though he can make a 2 point shot if he chose to attack the paint. They were already tired and Bam Adebayo cannot force himself in the center because he was also busy on offensive while the others cannot make a shot.

Congratulations to the Boston Celtics especially Jayson Tatum for winning the ECF MVP award.

Jason Tatum deserves that award, he was a big contributor to the success of their team, so now it's going to be Curry vs Tatum as they are the best players on their respective team. It's a different kind of ball game, back to zero, and hopefully, a game 7 is possible again.

[1kodumtek7]

Celtics finally managed to eliminate Heat by the seventh game. But it wasn't easy for them certainly. While there were around three minutes left to the end, the game started to be more interesting. Marcus Smart wasted some chances and Heat punished their opponent after that. That three pointer was very important for Heat to stay in the game too. However they still couldn't make it and Celtics secured the 100-96 win. I appreciate Heat's performance a lot too during the whole series. They both deserved to advance.

I do not see a game 7 in this series. Celtics are already tired, there is no way they can take it to 7 games with this tired legs. The first thing that goes away when you are super tired is the defense, then the offense becomes a bit more balls go short when you shoot type of situation, and that becomes an easy target for the other team.

What could warriors do? They could up the pace, and even if they miss, they could just run the ball constantly and shoot, play the famous 7 seconds or less ball. That will result with high possessions, and a lot of running, and that would ruin celtics. If I can think of that, think what Kerr could be planning now, it is going to be super easy for them.

Yeah, it is expected that Jason Tatum will win the ECF MVP award no doubt about that.

And the Heat losses big time, they have their chances to win game 7, only if Butler hit that crucial 3 point they might win it as they will have a 1 point lead. But that's how the game is, and then the Heat again started slow that gives them a hard time to trying to get close as Boston is not going to give up that lead easily specially in a game 7.

It was a good decision to take a three to win the game at that moment but he made it tough for himself. He took it too quickly even if he's already tired and his teammates weren't set to help in rebound if he misses. It wasn't even a long three but he almost airballed that one. He could have made one more pass  for a little breather and look for a screen.

[Velvet78]

Celtics have made it! They didn't prove many people who were believing in them wrong and defeated Heat by only a gap of four points. The last moments were thrilling and Celtics let their opponent come more and start becoming hopeful for a comeback. However they still had things under control later and became victorious. There was a great team play by Celtics too. Tatum, Brown and Smart shared similar statistics. Butler's effort was in vain this time but I really liked his trying this hard.
