It's like I said in the other thread, I just don't see how they score enough on Celts. Then Smart/Horford missed gm 1 and obviously that's a totally different team.
Everyone healthy it is gonna be rough though. R Williams kinda got underrated a bit because he was hurt, but he was basically just playing Ed Reed style free saftey when guarding Tucker and ruining their offense.
You got 5 long, athletic guys at every position out there, gonna take an elite offensive team to penetrate this. Not Jimmy Butler surrounded by Bam/Gabe Vincent/Max Strus/PJ Tucker
Heat need to play Duncan Robinson more
Not like having him out there is going to make you that much worse than this on defense.
Need a bigger threat to space the floor even if he's not making/taking many shots . Seems like a worthwhile tradeoff
Now they gotta go scrape one out in the Garden, which will be a tough task

Yeah they got owned so bad that he just went aggro down 25, lamest way to lose a bet like that.
Barring a cataclysmic injury or Kyle Lowry coming back and looking like the best version of himself, I think this series is over. Yeah, I said it. Sometimes styles make fights and this is like 2 big punchers but 1 punches 2x harder. Very little nuance to this series in terms of matchups, style, personnel. Just carbon copies where 1 is better. But we'll see...

I saw Embid at the game holding a camera
I love Jimmy Butler, quite assassin. So damn tough, so resilient, so talented, he plays the game hard and he never complains
Tatum, could learn from him. I love Jason, he's all green, but he complains too much to the refs and he doesn't always hustle back on defense after a turnover
