I think the Celtics can push it to 6. Wouldn’t surprise me if they get swept, tho.

The X factor in the series will not be Embiid, Maxey, Oubre, Butler, Bam or the coaches. It will be Tobias Harris. He has been sitting in the cut waiting for this moment to show why it was hm over Butler. Now his time is here.



The Accession of Paul Reed is upon us !

Bring on the draft

You want it to be one way....but it's the other way.

Heat have proven me wrong for so many years in a row. I'm going to stop doubting them until they actually show that the regular season version is their real selves.

If Embiid is healthy, and that knee scare is much a do about nothing, this is their best chance to make the finals.

We’d rather have the Heat win. Heat and Knicks is a decades old rivalry. They just met again last year. Philly vs Boston is a great modern day one sided rivalry.

Because they lost Gabe and struss not KD and Curry. Herro who was out last year is healthy this year. I find it weird how so many act like Miami lost pieces that were superstar caliber. Rookie Jjj is producing almost exact production of struss for intsnxd and once again Herro is healthy this year who alone is better than Gabe. Then you have Rozier who is better than Stuss and Gabe and Jovic picking up play and also Duncan that can drive now. I feel like people can be such sheeple at times. The amount times I've heard nba fans imply heat have lost 60% of their roster is hilarious. The constants/ common denominators are Spo/playoff Jimmy not Gabe Vincent and Max struss lol

Almost forgot about Tobias but in stages like this it's Butler who performs rather well. LOL

I think the Heat will be begging the Sixers to make this a Tobias Harris game.

Philly obviously has a great shot to win, they have the reigning MVP in the lineup, a speed demon star in Maxey and homecourt but as good as Nurse is, Spo is still the best in the business and playoff Jimmy truly is a thing. Definitely closer than the polls indicate.

Tbh I've ever rarely seen the majority on GB pick Heat to win any series in the last decade. A lot even picked Hawks to upset Heat back in 2022 when it was a #1 vs #8 match up, back when ICE Trae still had immense hype lol.

Maybe this will finally be the year Heat flame out vs the 9th/10th play in winner. :dontknow:

I dont see how Philly doesnt win if Embiid plays. Miami's been mediocre this year even when healthy
