It has been settled now, and it's Heat vs the Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals. I will say that I will be biased on this one, as I have an outright bet for the Heat to win the Conference Finals. But it might be a tough road for them as the Celtics is also a well balance team like team. Both have shooters, good ball handlers, defenders. The X factor might be the bench scoring, the team that will have the best bench players every game will take this series.
It's not Boston Celtics vs Miami Heat
Boston Celtics seem to have far better performance compared to Miami Heat overall this playoff. Why? I looked at their all losses and check the stats. The Celtics during their losses still established good stats in most cases. As for Miami Heat, I've checked some of their losses and they are really at worst on those nights.
However, Heat is much different today. I'm sure, for every team that Miami Heat faces, there's always a different adjustment.
Still, I can't say who has the upper edge. Both teams are equal to me. After all, they finished 1st and 2nd in the Eastern Conference.
We have Heat vs Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals as it seems. 
But I must indicate that I was very amused by Celtics' amazing performance against Bucks. They demolished Bucks by 109-81 and won the series 4-3. I believe that Celtics definitely deserved to advance to this round. And as for this draw in the conference finals, I think Celtics are still going to be the closest side to eliminate their opponent.

I would go for Celtics vs Heat. Since Giannis tried to carry his whole team in game 6 but it wasnt enough to overcome the deficit. Bucks needs someone to shoulder the Burden but Middleton is out while Holiday played terrible.
He carried the team in all the games in this series, but we also see some contributions from his teammates like Holiday and other guys are also stepping up. Giannis just have to minimize his outside attempt, it's a low percentage shot, instead, he should attack the rim and pass the ball when doubled. Celtics been improving their defence every game.
Not true, otherwise they win every game. Celtics defence again proved solid thats why Bucks scored terrible.

I like your logic, improving = 100% win. He is passing the ball when doubled but his teammates are shooting terrible, its like that you dont even watch the games.
.... 28 points lead is really big, it looks like Bucks already give up and stop playing.
I find that disrespectful. Giannis kept on playing until there were only two minutes left if I am not mistaken. They still played defense and tried to close the gap but it wasn't their day..... Well it will be Heat vs Celtics this will be a hard one for Celtics but who knows, they might have the good shot here.
It will be a hard one for the Heat too. Celtics may even have a slight edge in thos series. There are intangibles gained from defeating the defending champs.
Just in, Celtics dethroned the defending champion and will advance to the Easter Conference Finals.
What a winning statement from Celtics for the delight of the crowd. 28 points lead is really big, it looks like Bucks already give up and stop playing. Well it will be Heat vs Celtics this will be a hard one for Celtics but who knows, they might have the good shot here.

For me the Heat and bucks will fight in the Eastern finals, because surely bucks will dominate the game 7 and there's no way giannis will let boston to win again, where in, there will be an adjustment for sure for the next game.
Yes i know it's quite skeptical to bet on the next match since its tied up but no doubts for the defending champion IMO. infact since game 1 to game 5 it's really obvious that bucks has big advantage, so i will go for bucks no matter what.

I'd also pick the Miami Heat since Bucks and Celtics are performing somewhat sloppy as they continue to drop games at home. It'll be an issue once they advance to the next round and face off a much tougher team like the Heat. The only worrying part on the side of the Heat is how they'll adjust once Lowry gets back to the lineup again since we saw the team struggle on the road when they fought the Sixers.
Miami Heat.
Balanced. They are one of the teams that doesn't need much effort to have a great defensive stance. Almost all of them are not a weakness even in a switch. I think that is why they are not using Duncan Robinson much. They are trying to prevent showing any hole that will make an opponent attack it more.
Butler is also getting better and better, this is the Butler we've seen going back and forth against Lebron in the bubble 2020.

Right, and for those who are at lost as to why Duncan was used sparingly in this series, this is the main reason, and inserted Max Struss because he can play defense. Then they have Victor Oladipo who can explode anytime. And of course their franchise player in Jimmy Butler. Who really shows what a leader he is in their series against the 76ers. But as for the Bucks vs Celtics, just hard to predict this one.
I still think the Heat have the best or complete roster in the East but the Celtics are not that far behind.
That was the impression on the Miami Heat last playoffs but ended up on a embarrassing 0-4 result and eliminated in the First Round.....
the ECF are more intense for me compare to WCF.
It appears that way. Maybe because the Warriors are coming off as a dominant team there while the Suns are being pushed. the ECF are more intense for me compare to WCF.
Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics are a pain in the ass for me regarding betting.
This time, its hard again to place a bet because the defending champion is at risk on losing the chance to defend their title. Miami can still speculate their possible opponent so they can create good strategy, the ECF are more intense for me compare to WCF.

These teams are unpredictable and you can't just rely on home-court advantage. There are times that Bucks will explode, then Celtics will do the same, then they will have a close game, then the result can't be determined easily until the final buzzer sounds.
Even though I will put all my best in terms of analyzing both teams, it's difficult to predict who will win in their series to face the Miami Heat in the finals.

I understand that last playoffs and current is different but I think Heat is overrated even they clinched the 1st spot in the Eastern Conference.
I'm not with the Boston Celtics though but I will favor Milwaukee Bucks to win and advance to Conference Finals.
It's hard to get a read on who will win game 7 between Celtics and Bucks but I prefer to see a Heat vs Celtics finals. I have no problem with Giannis but I think I've seen enough of him and his "hero ball".

Miami will surely take the championship here, they are very dominant since the season started and right now, the momentum is on their side. Celtics on the other hand was able to tied the series and force a do or die game which gives them the good momentum, whoever wins on this Miami will be more ready for that, they have time to rest for now.
They are the number 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, so they are dominant although there is some close call before the end of the season wherein they are in a losing streak, but they regain their composure and now in the ECF.
I will also be rooting for them whoever they faces in the ECF. They have the complete package, but it will be a good matchup for the Celtics because they are almost equal, with stars and some defensive players. For sure this could be a low scoring series.

The game 6 was indeed a crucial game for Celtics and fortunately the result is in favor to them, Bucks should not lose their confidence here because this is their last chance to enter into ECF no more next game so its the best time now to go all out and focus on this game first. They are the defending champion and they should play like a champions, I’ll go for Bucks here and have a bet as well. Miami should be more ready this time and no time to take that rest, their next games will be a hard one.

Regardless of who will win between the Milwaukee Bucks and the Boston Celtics, it will be a good match for the Miami Heat.
But I'm looking forward to the Bucks entering the Eastern Conference Finals.
Not that I'm a fan of them but if you guys remember, Milwaukee Bucks swept the Miami Heat in the last year's playoffs and I've won a decent amount betting on them. It will be a revenge mission for the Miami Heat against the Milwaukee Bucks if they meet up next series.
