Man these games have pretty much been boring, for both conference finals. Seems like whomever wins ends up winning by a wide margin. As a Bulls fan I was rooting for the Miami Heat being Jimmy Butler is their star player and all, but I have to say it’s almost a certainty in my mind now that we are going to see the Warriors versus the Celtics in the finals.
There’s no final result yet and who knows, maybe Butler will double time to work with his team and take the game 6, that’s not boring to me since we saw a lot of twist since the playoff started and now we are getting closer to see the teams going into the NBA Finals. Though the way Celtics played in Game 5, I believe they have more confidence now but with Miami, they should stay focus. I loss some bets with Miami but that’s fine, and I’ll take the risk again placing some bet with them, this is more exciting than expected.

I think this series is going to end in game 6, Heat has no answer on the Celtics, their main scorer Jimmy Butler has been struggling in the last 2 games already. In game 5, he only score 13 points from a very poor shooting with 4-18, if Butler continues to struggle, then Celtics will go to the NBA Finals.
That's good if it will happen so we will witness the NBA finals soon. I'm sure the NBA Finals is going to be exciting as both teams are capable of winning, and though the Warriors are the favorite, I believe they are just slightly favorite, so the bets will be well distributed.At this point, Warriors will play for sure, but I do not know which one will face Warriors. Celtics would be a great matchup though, they have great wings and guards that could defend against Curry and Klay, which would be their benefit. Give Marcus Smart to Curry, and Jaylen Brown to Klay, and let Tatum decide on who to help, and switch things around constantly.
(BOSTON CELTICS)
Sam Hauser - Out
Marcus Smart - Questionable
Robert Williams III- Questionable
Sam Hauser - Out
Marcus Smart - Questionable
Robert Williams III- Questionable
Actually, these are not really big handicaps to consider for the Boston Celtics since there are lots of games already where they won without these players in this playoffs series. Unlike in the Miami Heat, those questionable players are really doing some impact on their team.
With how the Miami Heat starters played last game, that was at their worst unlike in Boston Celtics where all of their losses, their main scorers still do have a good contribution, especially Jayson Tatum.
I will give Boston Celtics do now have an edge to win this series by 80% after Game 4 results. But still, it's early to tell since Heat will surely do everything to win as it's necessary to do so. It's just my own analysis.
The Boston Celtics figure of 80% chance to win this series is quite relevant.
Only 38 points in the 2nd half, Lowry scored 0 points, Butler obviously not playing well because of his injury maybe and Herro didn't play in Game 5. Herro and Butler are their 2 best offensive players and yet and with what's happening right now, it looks like no one can step up offensively.
Now things are favoring the Celtics as they got to win on the road and only 1 win away from getting into the NBA Finals, which is their first trip since 2010.
A low-scoring Game 5 but Tatum and Brown scored 22 and 25 points respectively. Let's give credits also to Derrick White as well, as he is playing very good in this series. Now the Heat are having problems offensively. They don't have a primary shooter right now since Butler is injured and not playing well in their last 2 games. Do you think the Celtics will finish it on their home in Game 6 or the Heat will win in the road?

Everyone on Heat is not playing well except Bam Adebayo who keeps carrying his teammates. Jimmy Butler should just rest if will play like that, At least he can recover and play better in the next games unlike this where he is very ineffective in 2 consecutive games since he returns from his injury. Celtics are laying very good overall and finishing this series as early as possible before the Heat gets the momentum again. I agree that this is already over, Miami players are just insisting to play despite they are not healthy anymore to continue their finals run. Too bad for Heat to encounter an injury issue when they are 1 match away from the finals.
Bam Adebayo made the biggest contributor of the team but it is still not enough because he cannot carry the team well as their offensive players have sustained injury but they chose not rest it. To me, if only Jimmy Butler did rested fully on Game 4 then he could pretty much give more than what he did in the game earlier but no, instead he played and yet he still barely helped the team. They got this all coming because they don't know when to rest and accept defeat, it's a series game and if they know that they are no match in that specific game then they should just take some time off.
I'm not a Heat fan tho

Yes, for now, that's the most probable thing that would happen. They are just one win away to advance in the NBA Finals, so I'm hoping that NBA Finals would not be boring and it's going to be a close game like what we always wanted to see. I'm rooting for the Warriors to win the NBA Finals, so I will cheer for them.

In game 4, this round is exaggerated. Injuries from the description maybe there haven't been any results, both the Celtics and heat, who got more injured. But the difference in points in Game 5 and injuries are minimized. I hope the road in Game 6 can be more conducive. If it's hot it will be lower of course celtich has good enthusiasm. and maybe he will take advantage of that fight in the future
The difference in points in round 5 makes predictions almost slim. But this year's NBA Finals will be exciting

It's too late already, if Heat would want to win, they should do it on their home court, but they failed in game 5 and it was not even a close game, so their chance of winning now is very low. Game 6 is going to be a do or die game for both teams, at least Celtics should think that way as heat will gain the momentum if they will allow the Heat to win in game 6.
There should be no room for error for them in the next 2 games. Although it can be done, but their chances are slim. Now they have to go to Boston Garden wherein they were eaten alive in the first quarter alone, 18-1 run. And then the injuries are pilling up, Herro is out, Butler and Lowry is still feeling some pain and not fully recovered. Only Bam is taking the load but he was check by Big Al and Williams. And then their medical team doing a great job on Tatum's injury. Celtics will go to the NBA finals next game.
Even if the Heat will survive in game 6 and gain the home court advantage in game 7, I still think that the Heat will not be favored to win the series as Celtics have beat them twice in a row already in a dominant passion on their own home court. Game 6 is a must-win for both teams, but it should be the better team that will win.

Too bad for Heat to encounter an injury issue when they are 1 match away from the finals.
But the Heat is playing better in the other 2 games so I personally withhold my prediction on which between the two teams will be reaching the NBA finals. But in the Western Conference, it seems it is becoming clearer that the Warriors are winning and will be the team to reach the NBA finals even if their game 4 which is happening right now will go to the Mavericks. It might end with a 4-1 standing in their favor.
I lose confidence in Heat after there one-sided defeat against Celtics in there recent match despite the return of Kyle Lowry. Lowry and Tucker is not performing well on game 4 and I believe this will be same scenario if they didn't step up. They are the key player to stop the momentum of Celtics since Tucker is the one who can guard Tatum tightly just like what he did in Game 1 while Lowry on the other hand can help Jimmy Butler to get some space and do an open shot by drawing the attention of the defender to his attack.
Heat seems weak when Lowry return because he can't perform his role properly to carry the team. Oladipo is much better than him for starter.
The game is already in the third quarter and it seems Heat is not as weak as they are in their game 4. There is no double-digit lead from the Celtics. In fact they were able to get the lead. So this is now a different game. Adebayo and Butler are now stepping up to do something big for the team. They must have known they urgently contribute something big for Miami to win. As you rightly predicted though, Lowry remains weak and couldn't help the team much.
3rd quarter is very bad for Heat. They have 16-32 and erased their early lead and shift the momentum to Celtics. They should remove Lowry on this crucial and stop experimenting with his adjustment in the crucial matches. Lowry is playing 21 minutes without an assist and points with just 1 rebound which probably the ball just landed on his position. Heat might loss there chance to be on finals if they keep playing like this because Celtics is very strong on crucial matches especially if they already got the advantage and momentum on the 2nd half.
And they are still outscored in the 4th, not sure how they will recovered and it seems that the Celtics are going to take this win at their home court.
Yeah, not sure why Lowry wasn't inserted early and go with Struss.
Might be 4-2 next game for the Celtics here. They are good at closing crucial matches and this team are complete at both end.
