Hawks will definitely be easier for us, but I feel we beat the Heat in 5-6 tops, too. Who knows, I ma be wrong.
Good assessment:

Think we beat Miami in 6, losing games 1 & 4 as my guess. Still not preferable to play. They have a chance, that I don’t think the hawks do.

C's going to win either way in 5-6 games. Best guess is three Celtics' blowout wins and 2-3 very close games (win one and lose 1-2) no matter what team.

Miami is the 25th best offense who would be going up against the 3rd best defense. Might beat that situation for a game or two but on the whole they only win games where the Boston offense craters. And if Boston gets hot, Miami's getting blown out.

Need the Hawks to shoot like 45% from three tonight. Everybody else gets to sleepwalk through the first round except us if we get the Heat. We’d have to deal with them cheapshotting Tatum, Rob & Jaylen the entire series. Unnecessary wear and tear before playing the 6ers & Bucks

get ready for the Heat ladies and gents... Butler is a dawg, they know when to turn it up! Lets send them Miami Vice boys home early in 2023! This is the team that helps the J's and everyone else elevate their game. Go C's!

Defo tuning in for this one. Curious to see if Miami has that switch to turn on. If they do we could be in for another 7 game series in round 1. Nightmare scenario.

Only positive about playing them is that without PJ nobody can really check Tatum unless they put Jimmy on him. But if they do that JB will run circles around anybody else.

I wonder if there will be as many Celtics fans there rooting for the Jawks, as Miami fans?

Spo will probably use Caleb on him.

My only real concern is Miami better not win in a blowout and give them confidence and momentum.. Obviously I'm going for Atlanta but at minimum this game better be close
2 things need to go.. my lack of spell check and Joe.. :nod:

Heat has drawn their usual overflow crowd.

John Collins went from overrated to underrated in my opinion. I would definitely like him in Boston at the right price.
