C's in 7.

Don't think it's possible to come back from 0-3. jus takes too much focus.

But Celtics are probably one of the only teams that were down 0-3 despite having the better roster.

Lots of costly turnovers tonight. Great heart from Boston tonight. They could’ve packed it in after game 3 but they didn’t.

That's the thing.

They are technically the better team.

yea but beating a team 4 straight is tough. The focus and will is just too much. Idk the status of Gabe Vincent, without him could be interesting.

Miami has come back down to earth. Boston can string a lot of hot shooting games together in a row. Jimmy didn't have it tonight and no one else was able to carry them.

The Celtics were looking to fold again even up 16 in the 4th with lazy shots and dumb offense, but the Heat just kept turning the ball over.

This series should be over in game 5. Same patterns come up. C's entirely relient on hitting 3s to keep momentum. If they don't have a big lead by the middle of the 4th you know they'll fold. Tatum ghosts for large portions of each game. Brown still can't hit 3s. That's just a hard winning condition for a soft, choking team.

Let Boston and Miami beat each other up a bit more. Denver is sitting pretty.

Boston is by far the more talented team but I don’t think Spo will let these Celtics win 3 more.

Michael Jordan · Post #1852 » by **Michael Jordan** » Wed May 24, 2023 3:06 am

Boston was overdue for a hot shooting night and they have the depth + fire power to put together a 3 game win streak.

Miami can't risk losing another game now.

If Miami loses game 5 at the garden, the pressure to win game 6 at home will be insane

Kyle Lowry is due for a vintage game I would say.

In the first 3 games, the Celtics averaged 10.3 3FGM on 35.3 attempts (29.2%) while the Heat averaged 14.7 3FGM on 30.7 attempts (47.8%). Boston having a good shooting game was bound to happen as was Miami having a bad shooting game.

Miami needs to win on Thursday though. Boston is the better team that was just all out of sorts for the majority of the first 3 games while Miami has been relying on some extremely hot shooting. If Boston wins game 5, it's going to 7 and I think the Celtics become the first team to ever come back from an 0-3 deficit.

Not buying a 3-0 comeback at all lol. Bostons inexplicably shaky at home and I think Jimmy shows up big next game or at least game 6 to close it out.

Just want to point out that the second I posted this, Boston went on like a 65-7 run.
