Dunno why the Celtics are considered the favorite in this series. The Heat absolutely smashed the 1 seed with the MVP who were setting all kinds of records, and the Celtics barely got by a Raptor team whose best or 2nd best player was playing like an ultra high usage Jared Jefferies.

I'm rooting for the east to get that chip, so whichever team wins will def be the better team and I don't care which one of the 2 it is.

I'm rooting Boston, sort of. It's pretty even but I'm slightly leaning Boston.

I just want Kemba to show up.

This was the game for the Celtics to steal with the rusty Heat. So much for that, Flood gates already opened.

Stop the bleeding the Celtics. Miami won't shoot 50% from downtown for the rest of the game, time to play some offense.

Lol, yet the Lakers haven't beat the Raptors in 6 years.

Fortunately that won't be a problem

Kawhi left and your title chances left with him


If you feel LA is better why not simply say so without disrespecting another team. Weak mentality to have the need to have that sort of mindset. Try to maybe have some humility and humble yourself.

Kemba out there looking like Terry Rozier. Not a good look.

Brown should be attacking more. Tatum alone can’t put Miami away. Smart can’t be counted on. Gotta be Brown or Walker that steps up.

Kemba is just too small and not strong enough against the physical defenses in the playoffs. It’s a challenge for Boston for sure.

If they continue to be that wide open they will.

That's a pretty tired and old, and also false insult. If the Heat don't have fans, then the Celtics must not have any either as someone else noted, they've had more attendance than the Celtics every year for the last 10 years. Yes, Florida is a populous state, but we also have two NBA franchises here, so that splits up the fans, and we still have more attendance than you guys do.

Heat fans are pretty intense down here, I've been one since I was a kid who was born in Miami, so I should know. If fans were here, our arena would be louder too.

When Kemba is off he is OFF. He's screwing up the offense.
