Could go either way on Sunday. Heat have vet players/coach and the C's are too dumb for their own good. Talent/experience

I don’t see anyway Boston wins game 7. That would mean three wins in Miami. Not happening.

I believe the C’s have a 50/50 chance of winning on Sunday. Hate to say it, but even if Boston makes the Finals, I don’t think they can beat the Warriors after witnessing what happened tonight. Giving up 109 points at home to a Heat team missing their second best scorer. Warriors have home court, they’ve been there before, they will be rested. Plus, their coach is far superior. Deck is definitely stacked against the C’s.

At some point you have to blame the performance on the court on the players on the court. Every loss is not the coach's fault and every win isn't because of the players.

Sooner or later your luck runs out when you give away opportunities to win games. Gave Miami life and all the momentum.

Yeah, they'd just shoot themselves in the foot again. If they can't take control of the Heat in two home games idk what to say

We all expect the Celtics to win tonight. If they don't, it will be a stunning loss. If we don't win this series against the Heat, it will be on Tatum and Brown's wildly inconsistent play.

Smart and Brown

Thought Miami was tougher tonight. Boston handed them all the momentum in this series.

Eh, Miami hit obscenely lucky shots time and again.

My point being Boston gave them life. And guys that were struggling are now confident. Strus, Lowry and even butler

Yeah, I feel the same way. I would really like to get over the hump and finally make the Finals with this core, but the Warriors are as battle-tested as pretty much any team ever. And they are healthy.

Regardless of what happens in the Finals this core needs to win on Sunday. They've been knocking on the door for so long now and instead of kicking it open they at least should open it. The talent differential is too much to excuse blowing this Game 6 at home tonight.

50/50 shot for the C's to win.

But my mind says Heat in 7. Home-court, momentum...Butler riding high. Herro might be back to spark their energy all of a sudden. Spo the better coach than Ime. My heart says Celtics in 7 though so one more game this series, do or die for these young fellas.

I agree and that’s where the coaching comes in. If you swap coaches for this series, I honestly believe the C’s would have swept Miami.
