Against conventional wisdom I think Miami has the mental toughness to win game 7. Boston may even have a letdown

White went hard to the glass like his life depended on it. He deserved that putback.

Nuggets must be loving this. Watching the Celtics and Heat beat each other up. Whoever wins this series will probably have a massive letdown in game 1. lol.

Mazulla almost went down in infamy. Called that review that gave Butler three freethrows instead of two which was called on the floor. Lost his timeout, too.That could have been their end right there.

Also on the last play having Marcus Smart curling for three was also a crazy call--he was open for a reason.

The whole Miami run Mazulla never took a single timeout to run a play and change momentum. Just a terrible coach who is lucky to have some great players step up for him.

If Miami loses? You already guaranteed a win. Don't go jimmy butler on us now.

Strus was way out high on Tatum, White was closer and Strus never had an angle to get between him and the basket

Martha Stewart could be coaching the Celtics right now and it wouldn't make a difference. Their whole team is full of self-motivated players with high basketball IQs.

Would be ironic if the first team in NBA history to choke a 3-0 lead was lead by the best head coach and most clutch player in the league.

Yeah, I saw the replay multiple times and it's hard to blame Strus on that. It was a super lucky rebound for the Celtics.

The refs would have checked Jimmy's feet anyway for a three wouldn't they? Even if Joe didn't review the foul?

lol the entire celtics fanbase thinks he's a clown, I haven't read what they're writing about him now but he still made some dumb moves tonight. Dude inherited an eastern conference championship team with high end talent and depth. series probably would already be over if celtics were coached by a guy like spoelstra.
