We might be seeing a new 04 Pistons here.
Heat are unusually hungry for being a mostly young team. Jimmy is on a mission and they are all following the leader.

Boston might be cooked. 17 pt lead and just wilted under the pressure from Miami who never stopped playing hard. Too many nonchalant plays and rushed shots by Boston. Miami is going to mess around and win the title.

A bunch of the guys on the Heat have been really impressive in this series so far, but for me the one that maybe stands out the most is Tyler Herro. For Spoelstra to be able to trust a 20-year-old rookie to play 30+ minutes in tight games in the Conference Finals is incredible. Reminiscent of the guy on the other team that played beyond his years at 20 a couple of years ago in the playoffs.

Why stop at 7?
You're right, he's top 5, my friend
I remember when Kobe tried to kill Sasha Vujacic because Sasha tried to talk trash to Dragic then Dragic went onto a run and almost won the game. Dragic's prime coulda been playing in a great team and no doubt this guy will play great. So happy for him playing for a well-coached team in Spo and doing great. Sersiously though, how good of a coach is SPo?? Seems like he always do the right thing ffs.

Before the series some took it as an insult to say Heat have defensive hands on another level. The way they generate those steals and deflections too is deadly

These two teams are really evenly matched. Miami is just outperforming them in the 4th so far. Curious how quickly Hayward can return and how effective he will be. Another guy that can shoot and create against that zone could be huge for Boston.

I feel like Jimmy Butler is what people want to believe Paul George is 
Jimmy is just a winner. You can’t name 10 better players than Jimmy Butler. Ive honestly always though that since the Raptors vs Sixers series last season. Dude is just a gamer.
There’s something about a player like Jimmy Butler, Kyle Lowry that make me enjoy the game of basketball. All star caliber players who hustle for loose balls, who have a star impact on offence and defense, while being the ultimate leaders make basketball so beautiful.
Now imagine a 1-2 punch of Jimmy Butler and Kyle Lowry! That team would wreak havoc defensively and kill you offensively!

Once again... great game Miami. Celtics not ready to be champions.
The irony is zone defense is why Miami 2010-11 fell to the Mavs

Re: ECF: (3) Boston Celtics vs Miami HEAT (5) - Part 2 (1-0 Miami)
It could be Heat was rested and Celtics were tired. Cs just need to regroup a bit. I predicted Bam would have big games against Cs donut team and so far he did. Cs need to clamp down on him, but their sloppy play in 2nd half is puzzling (?).

Not sure if Butler can keep this passiveness for 3 quarters in the finals. At some point he has to takeover early.

I don't understand how anyone thinks this will be a sweep. Heat have been super clutch but these games were tight, I think the series goes at least 6.
