I’d probably also take Celtics in 6 if there was a gun to my head but there’s not so Heat in 7. But the Heat were the #1 team in 3 point efficiency this season. They haven’t been great so far in the postseason, maybe that’s what you mean. I’m hoping for some reversion to the mean from both teams in that regard.Coach wrote:I am picking Boston over Miami in six games. Here's why:
Miami won the previous two ECF matchups, so odds are that it's time for Boston to win one. Tatum and co. looking to avenge the 2020 loss.
Heat aren't great from behind the 3-point line.
Boston's defense.
Conspiracy Theory: Boston has more stars and NBA will use its refs to help them out.
I'll probably have more to come, injuries evolve...Smart was in a boot after that Bucks game.
Yes, I meant that during the playoffs, the Heat haven't shot the three well.4/5 wrote:I’d probably also take Celtics in 6 if there was a gun to my head but there’s not so Heat in 7.

In the very few mins he's gotten I'm locked on to him, rooting for him, wanting the ball in his hands and praying he makes a shot. I imagine he's doing the same thing to himself and that can't be helping things.verb_to_trust wrote:Duncan Robinson needs to be unshackledCoach wrote:Yes, I meant that during the playoffs, the Heat haven't shot the three well.4/5 wrote:I’d probably also take Celtics in 6 if there was a gun to my head but there’s not so Heat in 7.

No word on Smart yet.elliseamos wrote:And Robert Williams III sounds ready to return.
Should have kept shabazz napier4/5 wrote:Vincent is better than a hobbled Lowry. I really wish they hadn’t rushed him back in the Sixers’ series.
I think if the Heat's O is Butler, Herro, and Adebayo, the Cs are well stocked to cover them. Especially with 4 guys to potentially play C.Coach wrote:No word on Smart yet.elliseamos wrote:And Robert Williams III sounds ready to return.
Good news on Time Lord.
