The Heat are going to be a problem, should the Celtics last long enough to face them. They play defense like we all wish the C's would. And they have Butler. And they have a much better coach than we do.

Them and the Knicks will be a great series, but Butler will wind up being the difference.

The difference is our offense is vastly more dynamic and explosive than Milwaukee’s. We can also guard on the perimeter unlike Milwaukee.

Feel bad for the Kings man, what a raw deal drawing the warriors

I am really wondering if GS is the favorite now out West...
we may have the same last two opponents if we make it that far

heat in ECF, and GS in the finals....what a gauntlet

The C's two toughest matchups are still alive and looking better each game.

If Miami plays like it did against the Bucks, will the NY series go more than 5?  I don't give much of a chance to the Knicks.
I think it goes 6 or 7.  The Knicks are good - they just can't score the ball at the level of some of the other teams.

I think we may very well see both a repeat of the ECF and potentially even the Finals this year.

Tyler Herro still out for 4-6 weeks right? He could be back by ECF right?

Bucks to Heat FT attempts were 45-17. The Heat were playing 8-on-5 at times out there and still pulled it out on the road. Wow.

Per the Heat's beat reporter:

"Herro he has been told that the timetable would mean earliest for a possible return would be the NBA Finals."

Thank goodness.

Kevon Looney has been sensational for GSW.

22 rebounds again tonight. 14 in the previous game. 20 in the game before that. I believe he is leading all players in the playoffs in rebounds per game now.

And the defense he has been playing on Sabonis has been fantastic. Looney has exceeded all my expectations in this series. He has been brilliant. Much more able to battle physically in the paint against Sabonis than I thought he was able to. Doing a great job.

Giannis making less than half his FT's certainly helped the Heat's cause.

Play-in is here to stay for sure now lol

Just think how different things are if Miami doesn’t blow that Hawks game.

That's how you close out a team. Learn from Jimmy Butler Celtics.
