I guess these two teams are joined at the hip. Time to blow that hip into a thousand pieces.

Celtics in 6. Would be a legitimate toss up if Butler was playing. Celtics know better than any team, Heat Culture is very real. The Celtics get past Miami and they'll win the East.

Celtics in 4…gonna be light work. Don’t think the Celtics are gonna be napping at any point this series after what happened last year

As long as we stay healthy, this should be a 5 game series win

Butler or no Butler, beat the Heat!

Game 1 might be tight because of the time off. But the rest should be somewhat easy.

Cs in 4

Too bad the two biggest names in the Heat-Celtics 2020s rivalry aren't available for this matchup.

This is from Nov. 2023 (not sure what data they used). Interesting. Either he's dependent on real talent to keep the best defender away from him, or he just shrinks.

Yeah, the C's would've won in 5 instead of 4

No. C's in 4, if Butler would have been in, it would have probably still been 4 or at most, 5.

The Heat would’ve been swept losing by an average of 15 instead of 20.

They should also simulate dolts typing on the internet yelling "MAKE YOUR FREE THROWS, YOU DUMDUM," while he's practicing his FTs.

Best way to practice FT's is to sprint from one end of the floor to the other, shoot 2, sprint back, shoot 2, etc. That better simulates game conditions.

Yep...I always tell my teams to practise their free throws when they're jelly legged (although we do some form stuff fresh occasionally)
If you only have a half court, a skipping rope is great...lol

Careful what you wish for C's fans. Anyone in the Heat can get a good shooting for 1 series. And its still Spo vs Joe Mazula. We have nothing to lose.

Mazzulla is not the one shooting the ball.
