    I got the Heat in 7, but Adam Silver is going to rig this so he can get that Lakers VS Celtics finals. League is losing money so gotta do what he has to do to generate views

    Boston is a young team and they will have 3 days off before the series starts. That should be enough time for them to recover.

    Smart will put the clamps on Butler but Boston’s bench might get smoked unless Hayward is available.

    Tatum is the best imo, but Butler's experience might give him the edge. Heat have three of the four best players though.

    Agree on coach Spo ...
    But young Tatum is the best player talent wise.

    I don't know about clamps. Both are physical tough minded guards. Gonna be a battle. Look for each getting 3 techs each and several fouls.

    I hope it goes 7.

    They are both physical but one is an offensive flopper while the other one is defensive flopper. Butler’s game is based on trying to overpower guys then flopping when the defender resists. So, either Smart is fouling out in the first half or Butler is going to get the Siakam treatment.

    Brown would most likely have been the one guarding Butler since Smart is the Celtics best help defender but he might be comprised due to the groin injury.

    Love it. I don't care if you prefer uptempo hoops or analytics...this series should have the sports hate so many modern series are missing.
    Only thing that sucks is no fans. But I expect Theis Bam Smart Butler to make it physical and hard nosed.

    For at least three years, the Heat were in that (supposed) dreaded No-Man's Land of not being good enough to contend and not bad enough to get top draft picks, but they never tanked. They landed Bam with a 14th pick, negotiated a mega 4 team trade for Butler, and turned undrafted shooter Duncan Robinson into a starter. Gotta respect that.

    Riley a G and is my favorite Laker coach over Phil.
    He won with shaq trade...holding out on including wade who we wanted ...
    Planted the seed in Bron for the heatles ...
    now just what one season after Wade they back in ECF?

    Also him identifying SPo who many clowned when heatles were formed was brilliant. Outside of RC and prime POP i think he is the best coach of recent years on same level with Nurse.

    Hayward probably determines it. If he can play in most or all of the games as a 25ish mpg 6th man and look near 100%, then they can excise Ojeleye/G. Williams (at least as a four) from the rotation and limit Wanamaker, which is huge.

    If not, like the Raptors series, their lack of depth could bite them in what's likely to be a long series and goes every other day.
