But here's the thing, a bad Celtics team will eliminate this overachieving Heat team no matter what.
Don't be too sure of yourself. This Celtics team might surprise you, and not in a good way.
The Heat are overachieving, yes, and that's because they have an excellent coach that knows how to strategize against their opponents. I can't say the same about the Celtics.
I don't disagree with you about that.
But here's the thing, this season is house money to me.
So what if the Cs lose this year?
I have the Cs at their best next year, 2025.
While it's true the Cs could lose this series, because it's really possible, but it's unlikely.
Cs might not be at their peak this year, but they're good enough to win it all this year.
I don't disagree, they are capable of winning it all this year, but a lot of things have to fall into place for that to happen -
- The 2 new recruits - KP and Jrue, need to be better than what they're currently showing, and that stigma about both of them being poor playoff performers needs to change right now.
- the reliance on the 3 ball, as much as it has been this team's primary offensive strategy, needs a backup plan in case their shots aren't falling.
- the coaching staff needs to realize that the defense, most notably the drop coverage, isn't working.
Those are just a few, but there are a lot more.
