KingDavid & I are trying to avoid modding this thread since we're Celtics/Heat fans but fyi overgeneralizing and insulting entire fanbases is a violation of RGM policy. And rude lol. Let's keep it friendly please. Debate each other's posts as strongly as you'd like but don't make it personal. It's basketball and we're all just sitting on our couch watching it. Thx.

Celtics in 4

No Jimmy this time. Celtics in 5.

[JujitsuFlip]

No Butler so it will probably be a quick series.

[Chuck Everett]

Boston in 5.

[Rancid669]

Not the matchup Boston wanted to see in the first round. Even with no Jimmy Butler, we know they were praying for Chicago instead, no matter how much they try to boast about “we want revenge! Blah blah blah.”

[kacey ring]

Am I the only one thinking the Heat win in 6?

Spoiler:

JK. Celtics in 4.

[Last Guardian]

Boston is just obviously better this season than last. Miami is tough enough to win 2 games though. Boston in 6.

[CelticSooner]

Here’s how this series will go. C’s will probably be rusty for Game 1. Miami has to chance to steal that one. C’s roll the next two. Miami scraps to another win. Then the C’s finish it in 6.

Here’s how the series SHOULD go, C’s pounce and sweep the series.

[SerialChiller]

As a Heat fan probably Boston in 4 but Imma vote 5 and give us one game where we hopefully get hot enough from 3 to take it. Still should be a scrappy series that I'm sure isn't ideal for Boston even though the end result isn't in doubt.

Wow. Took your time.

You’re slacking mate.

[Enso]

If we get Rozier back it's a sweep. Jokes aside we should get trounced but I can see us grabbing a game or two max but **** it.

Heat in 7!

[gizardoe]

I think game 1 will be tight. The celts have been on a long break. Max 5 games

This years Jimmy has been rather pedestrian tbh

[PhilBlackson]

It's either a regular or gentleman's sweep (just outta respect for Spo).

Without Jimmy these boys are gonna locked up worse than Epstein.

[picc]

They should postpone the series until Jimmy is healthy. Break the rules for the sake of good basketball.
