These teams are very similar. Going to be a really interesting series. They're almost carbon copies of each other in terms of personnel and style.

Both teams are pretty much a mirror version of each other.

I can't see anyway that Miami is going to be able to score enough. Celtics defense just shut down the Nets and Bucks.
Celtics in 5 unfortunately.

The last time the heat beat us down was very disappointing. It would be sweet as hell if they could exercise some daemons. I'm expecting the Heats zone at some point, but I'm interested in the Tatum/Brown vs PJ/Butler match up

It's crazy to think this is already Smart and Brown's 4th ECF and Tatum's 3rd, they're all still so young.

It will be a repeat of the bubble . Celtics cannot get past our switching defense in a seven game series.

Also Tatum will be suffering PTSD when he sees bam covering him

Boston in 6 or 7. This series will definitely be 6 at minimum and have a lot of great defense

Rob Williams needs to be healthy, hes needed to protect the rim. Herro plays well against the Celtics and Kyle Lowry if healthy has been a Celtics killer for years. Should be a great series!

I got Celtics in 4 or 5. Just don't think Miami gonna have the offense to keep up at all. Just my opinion, don't kill me heat fans

I knew getting HCA would be so beneficial for a series like this. I have Heat in 7 as the big underdogs.
