[Hello Brooklyn]

Celtics became so overrated after Game 2.

People were acting like the series was over because of one blowout win.

It will be a close series but I still think the Heat are the better overall team. And have them in 7. Series will go back and forth.

I take it back if Jimmy is out though.

Someone said at end of last thread that Miami works harder. I think that’s the thing I am
Missing. Out working Celtics.

There is a national media bias against Miami since the playoffs (and all season). According to national pundits, Hawks/Sixers/Celtics losses against them were self-inflicted and Miami is just a low level talented, gritty team with a world class coach. Jimmy Butler has been the best player in the playoffs but there's still this weird narrative that they don't have a star and it's only because of Spoelstra this team is punching above their weight class.

Bias against Miami? The entire nba media is dying for Miami to win to they can visit Miami. There is no bias.

And. Spolestra and the roster construction is top notch. Jimmy is very good. You guys are up 2-1. Just enjoy it. Beat Boston and you will get credit.

Boston has been best team in nba since Jan. 1. In playoffs, when they haven’t turned over the ball game 5 against bucks, 1 and 3 vs. heat, they win.

That’s what the entire nba sees. Just inexplicable sloppiness from the Celtics. It isn’t even sustained sloppiness. Just a sloppy quarter here and a sloppy quarter there.

I picked Heat in 6 before the series and I’m sticking with it. Boston came into this series with a very thin and short rotation. The Heat came into it with only 2 guys playing over 30mpg and one of those was Bam who was playing 32. The longer this goes the more it favors the Heat imo

There is a bias against Miami but you could make a bias against all the teams. GS for beating injured teams, Boston for beating injured teams, Dallas for beating 2 teams that imploded and will trade their Cs in the offseason.

It's up to the fans to ignore it. Someone will asterisk this title just like they did for last years and the bubble.

this one is easy... its because the heat dont really have a top 5 player... like a KD, Curry, LBJ, Leonard, Giannis ect.... the national media loves hype.... so if someone like lebron or curry wins the title, they can start the "hes close to catching jordan" narrative.. if miami wins, all there really going to be able to say is, uh.... miami has a great team... with a good FO and coach... just uhh.... no king! no chef curry... in fact, "they kinda boring".... lol

I there isn’t. Best writers, media, all want to go to Miami. Trust me in that. If they had to choose, they go Miami every single time.

Jimmy is playing like a TOP 1 player in this playoffs though LOL. He is putting up ATG level playoff run.

13 G | 28/7/5/2 | 32.3 PER | +6.4 rTS | .328 WS/48 | 12.9 BPM | +22.7 On-Off

He should be getting more hype than the rest of rest of them right now if it was truly about that.

I really think it's the northeast bias against Miami/Riley more than anything. Alot of these pundit are fans of northeastern teams that don't like the city of Miami in general.

Neutrals would prefer Miami but ESPN, the ringer, the Athletic are full of Boston and NYK homers.

you don't understand. It's not about "going" to Miami . There are a million places to work.

ESPN is literally a Northeast and LA based sports company. They have so many Boston/NY fans that come up and build connections and end up working there.

the biased is in the coverage.

not in "where they'd rather visit". They don't vacation for the 1 day they're down here
