But with the addition of even MORE talent in KP and Jrue minus J Butler, what can go wrong?? :o


Team should be thinking of it the other way. First roadblock, let's truck it.

set the tone from the get go, 30+ point win for 4 straight. dont get caught up in the moving screens, the illegal defenses, the dirty play, the slapping etc.

time to show our full potential

Butler turns 35 this year.

So another wasted season means Jimmy's prime will start fading and the Heat will be closer to another rebuild.

This is perfect.
Get fired up, to cool off the Heat.

And then keep that flame going.

Jimmy's prime will start fading? I dunno, I feel like that ship has sailed. He starts strong every playoffs and burns out hard every playoffs after going super saiyan for a round or too. He single handidly beat the bucks but it was bloody role players that beat us by the 3rd round last season

I think we're going to give 2 games away because that's how these guys roll.

The Celtics are gonna have HeatTSD from the past 4 or 5 years. Even from the series they won, because they barely won it. Even going back to the Heat's big 3 era, the Celtics have never been comfortable against the Heat. Why are they get comfortable now all of a sudden? Heat in OT in game 7.

The Heat are also in the Bucks' head too because the Heat shouldn't have won that series either last year either.

Welcome to RealGM. Your post is sad and hilarious at the same time. This series will last for as long as the Celtics want it to. If they take it seriously from the get-go (unlikely), then this will be pretty short.

This might even just go 3 games.

Heat will get so tired of getting beat up, they would forfeit the 4th game of the series.

Don't be surprised if Jimmy plays the entire series.
