I trust Spro and I especially trust Jimmy B. He says they are going to win, they are going to win. Look for him to go nuts Saturday night.

Duncan Robinson saves Horford from losing series for BOS. Two missed open threes and failing to put a body on White on the rebound.

What was Horford thinking? Butler was looking for a foul the whole time.

Derrick White more than a buzzer beater:

Miami 1-12 ( 0-4 threes) when he contested the shot

Butler 0-6 with White guarding him.

MVP tonight.

Celtics rookie HC Locked into Horford. In Heat series average about 28 minutes, 7 pts & 6 pts a game. While Rob Williams, the better defender of the two, is getting Less than 20 minutes run averaging 10 pts, 5 rebounds & 1.2 blocks per game in Heat series

If you watch the last second replay a few times you can see where Miami really fucked up. I thought it was
Robinson in but Spo had Strus face guarding any pass to Tatum top of the key, that left nobody to guard and put
a body on the in bound passer White. White had a clear path to the hoop, Adebayo for some reason decided to block
out Brown 15 ft from the hoop rather than protect the rim. Too much attention on Tatum/Brown cost them.

Watch That Inbounds Play Again.

Before White Heads To The Rim, He Goes Over To The Corner, Into 3 Point Territory, Thinking Smart May Shoot It Back To Him.

If Smart Had, White Has An Uncontested 3.

Once He Saw Smart Go Up, He Headed To The Rim, Straight Line/ Uncontested/ Put Back/ Game.

If White Doesn't Head To 3 Point Corner After The Inbounds, He Doesn't Get That Put Back.

He Would Have Come In at The Rim, At A Different Angle.

Inbounds Passer Was Left Unguarded.

That Was A HC Spoelstra Decision, That Cost The Heat The Game.

That's why, even in high school ball, they tell you the inbound passer is the most dangerous option.

Albeit, the ball came off the rim perfectly. Any other direction, BOS goes fishing.

I think the early money on Miami is right. They're not the type of team to sulk after what happened. They played like shit
GM6 (Martin exception) and still managed to erase a DD deficit late and go ahead. Granted Tatum disappeared again 2H.

It's Not Like The Early Line was Miami +3.5

It Was + 8.5

The sportsbook guy from Borgota said people with positions with Boston for the series and conference were taking miami and the points

If Bos wins tonight I think they will be closer to -3 for game 6 and a game 7 i think bos will be 9ish,

would be fun if celtics choked their brains out in game 7

Boston is going have to think long and hard about giving Brown a 250m max deal, especially with White emerging as the next big thing.

Caleb Martin was 100-1 at one point to win MVP. He won't win it, but a argument could be made he's in the conversation.

The opening odds start here
I knew I wasn't going to be available to watch this game as a friend has computer issues this afternoon, so I made sure I dvr'd it without knowing the final score. You can't have your second best player shoot what, 8 for 22 or 23 with 8 turnovers and at one point, more than the entire Miami team. Huge credit to the Miami zone for styming Brown out of the paint, and you felt the sur cond out of the arena on the first play when Tatum turned that ankle.

Martin stuck dagger after dagger from the perimeter and Butler did his thing in the 4th. I loved at least 3 or 4 back doors involving Bam. Even when the C's got the huge lead down to 8 on the 3rd, you just never felt a fight for Boston d Miami had an answer on both sides of the ball. Great coaching by Spolstera, and the game 7 curse maintains it's shutout to 151-0. The better team clearly unveiled it's wit and rolled tonight, and I look forward to a great finals series. You have the lowest scoring, and perhaps stingiest defense, against the odds on favorite who loves to inflict tempo and scoring with the best big man in the league who is most versatile.

jaylen brown turned the ball over 8 times.. get rid of him.
martin played well for miami 26 pts 10 reb 3 assists.
The east collected a handful of overrated teams.

So true as Tatum goes, so goes the Celtics. When they sensed he was hurt it changed the whole complexion of the game.

They started to run their offense thru White.....which is a option short term, but you're not going to win a GM7 with
that strategy.

I think it's funny that Miami had already booked a flight to Denver, with itinerary prior to GM7.

Let the EOG record show Heat were my original team. Let the record also show Mavericks were my 2nd team. The thrill of victory and the agony of defeat indeed.

One team did everything they could to make the playoffs, and have been rewarded with a historic run, the other team tanked their last game to get a higher draft pick, moving up a couple of spots in the draft was more important to Dallas than making the playoffs and competing for a title, one franchise has a winner's mentality, the other wanted to miss the playoffs
