Heat (35-37) at Celtics (47-26) Game #74 3/26/17

[SCeltic34]

Amir has been great so far.

I really like this Heat team, though. Very feisty and defensively active.

I thought you said not to worry about them 

They're the 2014 Boston Celtics to me. They play hard and make you beat them, but they don't have the talent to really challenge us in a series. We'd beat them in 5 at the worst.

Crowder's jump shot has been pure most of the season.

If Waiters is healthy I'm guessing it would be 6 or 7.

You've underestimated them for a while now.

You've underestimated them for a while now. People have been overrating them for awhile due to a hot streak.

Fixed that for you. 

Seriously, though, I do think people are overrating them due to their hot streak, similar to the 2015 Hawks. There's a reason we've swept them so far the last two years.

EDIT: Now that being said, there's still three teams or so (Indy, Detroit, Chicago) that I'd rather see in the first round than Miami. They'll make things interesting due to how hard they play and their defense, but I just don't see them having the talent to really overtake us in a series.

Al running the break is my favorite.

[slamtheking]

good to see they've come out this half playing with a purpose.  first half was pure sleepwalking

[SCeltic34]

Well whatever Brad said at the half, it worked.  Energy is much better so far.

[Neurotic Guy]

Amir very alert and involved tonight.

Amir very alert and involved tonight.

When his feet are right he's a pretty good player.

[Clench123]

I hope we don't start playoffs games as we've done regular season's.

I know what I 'd told them....

And I can t repeat it on this forum...

Yes, injuries.  We've lucked out that Miami has been without one of Wade/Dragic or Dragic/Waiters for most of those games.

I expect we'd beat them, no reason not to.  But it'll be much closer than you're giving them credit for, if they are healthy.  I just think you're wrong here.

[jpotter33]

Jae has had a really good game outside of some dumb passes.

Another triple double watch for Horford
