Heat the most well coached mediocre roster in NBA history How tf they make the finals last year and even get a game off Boston in this series?
Nothing to do with boston, it’s just pure luck. If you play poker, sometimes you will see someone hit 5 straight flush draws. Same thing
For the long run, this makes the Celtics very vulnerable and NOT the favorites to reach the finals, IMHO.
Celtics are shaky without Porzingy IMHO. But they should still be favorites in the east. A part of me thinks the Knicks can make it to the finals this year because of Bucks injuries. I think Knicks and Celtics face off in the ECF and whoever is the healthiest will win and go to the finals. Bucks losing Lillard and Giannis in the first round was not on my radar but **** happens to all teams when we least expect it. If Giannis and Lillard were healthy, I had Bucks sweeping Indiana. And then I’d have a Celtics/Bucks ECF, and I feel like Celtics would choke and Bucks would win in 6 or 7.
