Off the top of my head this will be the 4th time the Heat play the almighty with Jimmy and he's about to be 2 and 2.

Face it. The superior team and superior franchise is here to stay and you're looking down the barrel of broken legs and diminishing returns.

You can't beat the Celtics even if they spotted them 30 points a game. Not this year. Not ever again.

This is one of the most ridiculous posts I've ever seen! First referring to your team as the "almighty" is straight clown comedy. And claiming that Miami will never beat the Celtics ever again is clearly something only a severely handicapped person would say.

The only thing handicapped is the Heat roster.

The Heat don't have what it takes to win without a top 5 player in their prime. They don't play pretty ball. They get what they deserve. Which is nothing. No pie for them.

I hope you are just hammered early in the day because you sound pretty dumb :lol:

The only thing that sounds dumb is anyone saying with a straight face the Heat are winning this series.

The heat can't and have NEVER beat this team. Jimmy or not. It's never happened.

No Marcus Smart chucking the Celtics out of the game this time baby.

I'm not referring to your series expectations just the way you are voicing them. I'm a realist, check out page 1 if you want to see what I'm expecting to happen.

Instead of Smart we have Jrue Holiday, who finished the season with a corner 3 percentage higher than we've seen from anyone in NBA history. Get him an open shot and he's gonna make those **** all day.

You mean the guy who's been shooting below 30% from 3 in the playoffs for the past 10 years?

No i actually have.

Jrue last 5 playoffs
2015 - 38% from 3 reg season -> 25% postseason
2018 - 34% from 3 reg season -> 32% postseason
2021 - 39% from 3 reg season -> 30% postseason
2022 - 41% from 3 reg season -> 32% postseason
2023 - 38% from 3 reg season -> 29% postseason

2024 - 43%! from 3 reg season -> wanna guess?

Jrue is like the 5th option here in Boston. He's going to be wide open and I trust that he'll make those shots.

I'm definitely interested in how Jrue does offensively. We came to expect his shooting to take a dive in the playoffs. He'd still hit some clutch shots and contribute in other ways, but he threw up a lot more bricks than normal too.

Will being in a lesser role offensively help? Will he be spending less energy defensively? Is it a mental thing where he puts too much pressure on himself every year? We'll see.

Honest question to you Heat fans, do you have some hidden undrafted/undervalued shooters on your bench who you wanted in games all season and Spo didn't play them (or give enough playing time)? Those dudes scare me more than a healthy Jimmy Butler, Spo and irrational confidence shooters are a deadly combination, and thats not just recency bias it was even scarier back when LBJ run the show down there.

As long as he plays defense the way he's capable I can live with whatever he's doing offensively. At least as long as the Celtics score at the pace they have all year.

He can't be worse than Smart. That's how I feel about it personally.

Without Jimmy buckets, should be an easy sweep. Since its the celtics, probably would give away a game. So its Celtics in 5. No more brick master Smart, no more loud mouth G.Will, and part time player in Rob Will.
Also, no more celtics killers in Max Strus and Gabe Vincent.

Win or lose i'm cool as long as our guys give their best! And i'm sure Spo will bring their best out of them.

You're so insecure. It's almost like you know you watched 82 games just to see you lose to the Celtics. Again.

I feel ya. I remember when my team had no NBA talent.

Heats been bending you all over when it matters most for over a decade now, you’ve likely only been alive to see 1 championship

The Celtics have won more championships since I've actively followed them than the Heat have in their entire franchise history. (Y'all only have 3, correct?)

They won 11 more before that while I was growing up around LA.

Who wins?
