Eastern Conference Finals (Heat vs Celtics)

[Hypnosis00]

In game 4, this round is exaggerated. Injuries from the description maybe there haven't been any results, both the Celtics and heat, who got more injured. But the difference in points in Game 5 and injuries are minimized. I hope the road in Game 6 can be more conducive. If it's hot it will be lower of course celtich has good enthusiasm. and maybe he will take advantage of that fight in the future
The difference in points in round 5 makes predictions almost slim. But this year's NBA Finals will be exciting

I think this series is going to end in game 6, Heat has no answer on the Celtics, their main scorer Jimmy Butler has been struggling in the last 2 games already. In game 5, he only score 13 points from a very poor shooting with 4-18, if Butler continues to struggle, then Celtics will go to the NBA Finals.

That's the problem that Heat needs to address if they still want to extend the finals, they should work as a team because Celtics are really dominating the series but of course there's still a chance for Heat to tied the series. Celtics should not be more complacent here, better to stay focus and try to finish the series and go to the NBA Finals. Butler should step up and do better on the do or die game, it's not too late yet.

It's too late already, if Heat would want to win, they should do it on their home court, but they failed in game 5 and it was not even a close game, so their chance of winning now is very low. Game 6 is going to be a do or die game for both teams, at least Celtics should think that way as heat will gain the momentum if they will allow the Heat to win in game 6.

Too early to say but I agree, Heat should be able to win on Game 5 but failed to do so, most probably game 6 will in favor to Celtics since its their home court advantage and the momentum is with them. If Game 6 goes to Heat there's a high chance for them to get the championship, luck can still be on their side. Eastern conference are more intense since we saw the two teams really fighting neck and neck, whoever wins on this two team the NBA finals will become more exciting.

There should be no room for error for them in the next 2 games. Although it can be done, but their chances are slim. Now they have to go to Boston Garden wherein they were eaten alive in the first quarter alone, 18-1 run. And then the injuries are pilling up, Herro is out, Butler and Lowry is still feeling some pain and not fully recovered. Only Bam is taking the load but he was check by Big Al and Williams. And then their medical team doing a great job on Tatum's injury. Celtics will go to the NBA finals next game.

Even if the Heat will survive in game 6 and gain the home court advantage in game 7, I still think that the Heat will not be favored to win the series as Celtics have beat them twice in a row already in a dominant passion on their own home court. Game 6 is a must-win for both teams, but it should be the better team that will win.

Man these games have pretty much been boring, for both conference finals. Seems like whomever wins ends up winning by a wide margin. As a Bulls fan I was rooting for the Miami Heat being Jimmy Butler is their star player and all, but I have to say it’s almost a certainty in my mind now that we are going to see the Warriors versus the Celtics in the finals.

Yes, for now, that's the most probable thing that would happen.

They are just one win away to advance in the NBA Finals, so I'm hoping that NBA Finals would not be boring and it's going to be a close game like what we always wanted to see. I'm rooting for the Warriors to win the NBA Finals, so I will cheer for them.

Only 38 points in the 2nd half, Lowry scored 0 points, Butler obviously not playing well because of his injury maybe and Herro didn't play in Game 5. Herro and Butler are their 2 best offensive players and yet and with what's happening right now, it looks like no one can step up offensively.
Now things are favoring the Celtics as they got to win on the road and only 1 win away from getting into the NBA Finals, which is their first trip since 2010.

A low-scoring Game 5 but Tatum and Brown scored 22 and 25 points respectively. Let's give credits also to Derrick White as well, as he is playing very good in this series. Now the Heat are having problems offensively. They don't have a primary shooter right now since Butler is injured and not playing well in their last 2 games. Do you think the Celtics will finish it on their home in Game 6 or the Heat will win in the road?

Everyone on Heat is not playing well except Bam Adebayo who keeps carrying his teammates. Jimmy Butler should just rest if will play like that, At least he can recover and play better in the next games unlike this where he is very ineffective in 2 consecutive games since he returns from his injury. Celtics are laying very good overall and finishing this series as early as possible before the Heat gets the momentum again. I agree that this is already over, Miami players are just insisting to play despite they are not healthy anymore to continue their finals run. Too bad for Heat to encounter an injury issue when they are 1 match away from the finals.

Bam Adebayo made the biggest contributor of the team but it is still not enough because he cannot carry the team well as their offensive players have sustained injury but they chose not rest it. To me, if only Jimmy Butler did rested fully on Game 4 then he could pretty much give more than what he did in the game earlier but no, instead he played and yet he still barely helped the team. They got this all coming because they don't know when to rest and accept defeat, it's a series game and if they know that they are no match in that specific game then they should just take some time off.

I'm not a Heat fan tho

(BOSTON CELTICS)
Sam Hauser - Out
Marcus Smart - Questionable
Robert Williams III- Questionable

Actually, these are not really big handicaps to consider for the Boston Celtics since there are lots of games already where they won without these players in this playoffs series. Unlike in the Miami Heat, those questionable players are really doing some impact on their team.

With how the Miami Heat starters played last game, that was at their worst unlike in Boston Celtics where all of their losses, their main scorers still do have a good contribution, especially Jayson Tatum.

I will give Boston Celtics do now have an edge to win this series by 80% after Game 4 results. But still, it's early to tell since Heat will surely do everything to win as it's necessary to do so. It's just my own analysis.

Actually, you're right about that because the Boston Celtics are just one game away from advancing to the Finals while the Heat seriously needs to be consistent but the problem is almost all of them mainly their key players are badly injured from the previous games while the Celtics situation is not as bad as the Heats problem.
The Boston Celtics figure of 80% chance to win this series is quite relevant.

I think this series is going to end in game 6, Heat has no answer on the Celtics, their main scorer Jimmy Butler has been struggling in the last 2 games already. In game 5, he only score 13 points from a very poor shooting with 4-18, if Butler continues to struggle, then Celtics will go to the NBA Finals.

That's good if it will happen so we will witness the NBA finals soon. I'm sure the NBA Finals is going to be exciting as both teams are capable of winning, and though the Warriors are the favorite, I believe they are just slightly favorite, so the bets will be well distributed.

First of all we are still not certain who will win from the Heat vs Celtics game. We know that Celtics are ahead right now but then we could have a win by Heat on the next one, and that could be something difficult to decide since game 7's are always a bit of a challenge and a tossup, you could literally flip a coin for that winner.

At this point, Warriors will play for sure, but I do not know which one will face Warriors. Celtics would be a great matchup though, they have great wings and guards that could defend against Curry and Klay, which would be their benefit. Give Marcus Smart to Curry, and Jaylen Brown to Klay, and let Tatum decide on who to help, and switch things around constantly.

There’s no final result yet and who knows, maybe Butler will double time to work with his team and take the game 6, that’s not boring to me since we saw a lot of twist since the playoff started and now we are getting closer to see the teams going into the NBA Finals. Though the way Celtics played in Game 5, I believe they have more confidence now but with Miami, they should stay focus. I loss some bets with Miami but that’s fine, and I’ll take the risk again placing some bet with them, this is more exciting than expected.

I don't get bored too with the series although the competition got wrecked because of some unexpected injuries. I don't understand why the series becomes boring to others. Maybe common for not really an NBA enthusiast and just showing at the playoffs or Finals.

Regarding the series, since minor to major injuries occur at some starters for the Heat, it gives a domino effect on their offensive strategy. Jimmy Butler might be playing right now and showing no signs of injury but he has that he got in Game 3. It's impossible that he already fully recovered from that but since it's a call of duty to play and he is cleared to do it, he risks it to help the team.

I'm seeing Boston Celtics will end this series next game at their home.

The way Miami Heat played last game, there's no room for the same performance and mistakes next game. They lacked short in the last quarter and that's the time Celtics managed to get the big lead. I'm even thinking that the Heat's last game doesn't have any boost nor any encouragement. They already seem to waive the white flag when Celtics continuously pounding them. There's a small effort on getting back on feet for even let's say Celtics did a great defense limiting Heat's offense.

If that kind of playing performance for the Heat will happen again, then see them next season. The Celtics deserve to reach the Finals as honestly, their playoffs journey this year is tough as they faced all the big teams in the East.

I'm sure that Celtics are preparing hard to finish the series in game 6. Warriors had already advance in the NBA Finals, they don't want to get so tired facing the Warriors, so this game 6 is very important for them and they should not make a mistake. I am prediction a low scoring game tomorrow as it's going to be physical both teams wanting to win.

[Vaculin]

I am prediction a low scoring game tomorrow as it's going to be physical both teams wanting to win.

Both teams played a defensive game, so most likely it's a low scoring game again.
The over/under line now is 201. Last game, they only have a total of 173 points, so I think that 201 is already high and the under looks very attractive.

This will be a hard battle, Heat will surely not give up on this easily and that low scoring game are more possible.
We know this two teams are great in physical plays, it's just a matter of proper execution. Below 190 points are more possible, this could be a safe points to predict. Warriors will surely look into this game and watch the team that they are going to face in the finals, Celtics is on a good position here.

Warriors are always ready for whoever wins the series. As a fan, I like to see the best to face the Warriors so both teams will have even support from the bettors. The Celtics are likely to win, question is if they can cover the spread since I'm a bit doubtful because of the past result that the Celtics have beat them via blowout.

The Heat - Celtics series is coming to an end soon. Celtics are in the lead by 3-2 for now. Their high effort in the last two games of the series was worth appreciating very much I think. But I expect Heat to win the third game actually. It is just like a sixth sense or something like that for me.    But when it comes to the probable winner of the series, I'll continue with Celtics. I like the way they compete more than Heat's. I will just expect them to defend Heat strongly in the seventh game and win 4-3 at the end.

I hope the Celtics will continue to play hard, they need to keep their composure as closing a series is not easy. Their advantage is they are at their home court, the fans are supporting them as they like to celebrate the success of the Celtics if they will beat the Heat tomorrow.

The hype is gone for the Heat now, though I would say they are a good team, they have not made the right adjustment in the series resulting in a blowout loss in game 5.

It's a tough choice to make because their previous games in this series were all won by 10+ points by both teams, but I'm rooting for the Celtics to win here and close the series. This will be a close and low scoring game but the Heat's key players are mostly injured and they're just nursing it for the time being because they cannot afford to lose without giving a fight.

I think the Celtics finish things off tonight and send the Heat fishing.  They've got to be looking to get this series behind them so they can rest up and get ready for the Warriors.  Nobody on the Celtics want to know the Warriors are relaxing and watching game tape while they're still preparing for the Heat matchup...  I'm expecting a good first half that turns into a blowout as the Heat give up and Tatum or Smart walking away with the first ever Eastern Conference MVP award.

[Distraction]

Things can be over in this series tonight. Celtics are very close to ending this. If they win tonight, they are ending it by 4-2. On the other hand, it is going to be another very difficult game for Heat and Celtics both. Heat would try their best to collect themselves by winning the sixth game here. Even if they make it, it would be by a close gap I think. Because I don't expect to see Celtics playing in a complacent way. Their defensive performance was really impressive the last time and I hope to see it again. I believe Celtics will finish this tonight.

I expect another grind out game here and a low scoring affair.  Going to be real tough for Miami to win in Boston.  Would like to see Miami come through to give us a game 7.  Haven't even checked to see if hero is playing tonight but if he can get out there, he helps spreads the floor otherwise Boston can pack it in the paint.  Enjoy the game go heat!

Teams like the Heat are tested in this kind of situation, I mean they needed to win in this game to force a game 7. So there is still a chance for them to win and go to the finals. They will have to take it one game at a time. They have the experience and the players to do so. They will just have to think positive as they are in the brink of elimination. So I wouldn't be surprised when fans thinks that they are done then suddenly comes back and win game 6 and then go home and try to win game 7.
