Predictions: Celtics vs. Heat

[SparzWizard]

Well I did say Boston in 6. So we have them right where we want them 

Same, I did predict Boston in 6, but not for them to be down in an 0-2 hole. More like seeing them split G1/G2, win G3/G4, lose G5, and win G6 typa series. Hard to see them winning 4 straight lol.

Spoelstra is an even better coach than Nurse, so I once again expect Brad to get out-witted.

I fully expect Miami to outwork us, outsmart us, and execute better than us.

So far this has been exactly what has transpired.

Good call.  I used to have my doubts about Spo but he's done an incredible job with this team, and he's making Brad look like a complete amateur.

Miami has made every play in crunch time to win games.  Forcing turnovers, coming up with big defensive stops.  Making big baskets when they need them.  Playing with grit and coming up with offensive rebounds.  Their execution has been incredible.

Our team on the other hand looks lost, especially on offense.  Players standing around.  Committing live turnovers trying to inbound the ball.  Missing wide open shots when we do get them.  Brad has not prepared them for the moment and it shows.

Posted in the wrong thread I guess.

I'm not sure I agree about miami outworking the Celts.

I think they are a tougher team overall and part of that I think is confidence and poise. Also probably just having less wear on them at this point. The Celts have had to leave a lot on the floor to get to this stage, and they are a very shallow team.

Definitely not.

Brad's not perfect but they're better off with him than without him.

Yeah, I'd stick with Brad if it means we don't go after retread coaches like Mcmillan or Van Gundy.
