Honestly, I also don't believe the Celtics will be able to win this series. However, if the Heat players perform as poorly in the next games as they performed in the last two games, the Celtics will definitely have a chance to win this series. It's worth noting that the Celtics literally had a 0% chance of winning the series a few days ago, but now they have a 16% chance of winning it. So anything is possible.
Nobody believed Boston when the series was 3-0, not just you, but Boston won the last 2 games very strong and remembered they are being the real favorites of the series. Game 6 will be very important. If Boston wins this away game, they can pass the finals in Game 7 at home. Teams that have scored 3-0 150 times in history have won, while the teams behind have never won. But there is a first time for everything. Perhaps Boston will break this series and become the first team in history to return from 3-0. Of course, for this, they must win the 6th game first, it will be a very difficult match. We can say that the mental advantage has passed to Boston. Not only Tatum and Brown, but also Derrick White and Al Horford make incredible contributions.
It would be recorded in the history books as the two teams that will play the Finals have break a history before reaching it then. The momentum was on the Boston now and they have to keep that phase but on the other hand I think Coach Spoelstra should break his approach as well during that 3 consecutive won of his team. I think decreasing the minutes of Butler wasn't the best of it and Vincent should play the next game as it's the most crucial game for them if they want to be on the finals.
Yes, it seems to be that the momentum has shift to Boston on the strength of their two wins in the road and at home. But still not done yet, Miami still leads the series and they are going to play at their home court next.
Still the pressure on the back of Celtics to win this and definitely it will be a hard fought game 6.
While the Nuggets are resting anad most likely coach Malone and this team are coming up with a strategy whichever team they are going to face in he finals.
Game 6 will surely be intense and I think it's not only the Celtics being pressured here considering that if they win a game 7 will be on the Celtics home court. Celtics won the game 6 and 7 against Philadelphia and they're a better team in terms of stats afaik and I think it's not impossible if the Celtics do the same right here right now. The Nuggets are being favored, they have lot of days for preparation and they will witness how to counter both of these teams in ECF.
Yes, chances of Celtics goes up with that big win against the Heat in their homecourt and they could have solved the riddle of the Heat's defense? So the ball is on the Heat and Jimmy Butler, they don't what to be on the bad side of the history, leading 3-0 and the lost 4 games, that's going to sting with the Heat franchise.
Looking at the odds now, the Celtics is the slight favorite, 1.71 and Heat at 2.18.
Will it be a good bet for us if we stick on the Heat ML right now? Just like what they did on the first two games wherein they are the underdogs? Or Celtics really has the momentum going into the next game, regardless if it is a road game for them as you have said, they steal one game in Sixers home court.
