I am looking forward to a 2-2 standing after this fourth game. I'm sure the Celtics will get back on Miami. This early, Jason Tatum is already feeling hot and pumped up and will definitely add a lot more of scoring power to the Celtics. With 20 points just in the second quarter and the team leading so far by 25 points, this is going to be an exciting eastern conference finals. They only need to maintain a comfortable lead and continue to deny Miami of offensive rebounds.

Yes, it's a different Jayson Tatum we are witnessing this game, although he is nursing that shoulder, he still play and provided good offense to the team right now. So it's going to be a very difficult task for the Heat to even make the score close or cut the lead to manageable less than double digit because of the way the Celtics are shooting in this game.

Heat has to come back from a heavy deficit in order to win the game, and I don't think they'll be able to do it because they are in the same situation in game 2 and they were not able to come back, how much more now that they are on the road.

Williams III is also back in the lineup, and he is doing a great job so far as he was able to limit Adebayo with 3 points only which was the Heat's top score in game 3. This series is getting exciting, I'd like to count this already for the Celtics and will be a tied series going back to Miami.

Great job to the Celtics for maintaining the lead to a comfortable degree. That double digit lead was well kept all throughout the game. And while the Heat got better three-pointers, Boston had the great free throw points in addition to their better field goals. Props to Tatum's 31 points for this win. Of course Horford's successful rebounds and blocks and the overall defense of the Celtics also played a big role in this victory.

Maintaining the lead is one way to put it… They destroyed them the entire game. The Heat bench looked defeated in the first quarter. The Celtics won by 20 and that makes the game seem closer than it was. The Heat need to pretend this one never happened. I feel pretty good about calling the Celtics vs Warriors Finals matchup now after seeing a few games in this series. Boston is just playing great.

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.

This is only possible with a healthy Jimmy Butler on the roster of Heat. There's a news that he is questionable to play in game 4 while Celtics will not repeat their mistakes in game 3 and obviously adjust there strategy to match up Adebayo aggression. They have Theis to stop him by force if Butler will not return in the rest of the game. Jimmy Butler has a lot of injury reports on this season and this might be bad news to Heat if he will not come back healthy to stop Boston counterattack against them. We already witness how they manage to come back against strong opponents when they Beat Bucks in game 7 match.

Heat without Butler is very easy to beat by Boston with a complete package of attack and defence roster.

Regarding health, so are Jayson Tatum and Marcus Smart. They are in probable status and the decision will be before game time if they will play or not.
Remember that twisted ankle by both players? I think Smart's case is the worst but he got back into the game although it's obvious he is still in pain.
This series may become unpredictable if both teams' starters will be out.
Butler is a big piece for a win but the bench managed to finish it in 2nd half of Game 3. I think Miami Heat will possibly win this if ever the injury cases get worst.

Among the stated players, Marcus Smart was the only player on both sides who was ruled out because of that specific ankle injury that he got in Game 3. Meanwhile, on the Heat's side, Tyler Herro was also ruled out but Jimmy Butler did play but just for a short minutes because of his knee.

In Game 4, the Celtics didn't had any tough challenges because of the said injuries on the Heat side while having a bad run on the 1st four minutes of the 1st quarter. I'm curious who could play on the Game 5 but Butler will likey be the one who will ruled out as they get back on their home.

It's almost inevitable for them to lose the game today but at least they gave the Celtics a good game.

I don't think they gave them a good game at all. It started out 18-1 and that was as close as it ever was... It was pretty clear from the first 5 minutes that Boston was in control and Miami had next to no chance. I'd like to see them put up a fight and make a series out of this, but to me it looked like they were broken out there. I think the first win they got was a result of covid and injuries, the second win was a bit of luck... I don't think they get another win this series. It's Boston vs Golden State in the Finals...

It's just a horrible game from Butler and Lowry in game 4, and yeah, it's inevitable, not matter how hard they do shooting the basket in the first quarter, it's not falling while the Celtics has found the ring too big. They have to bounce back in game 5 and I think they can still salvage this series and move to the NBA finals against the Warriors.

Jimmy Butler is not performing well maybe his injury is not really ok and he just forces himself to play despite his injury. He is not giving his 100% in this game which results in this very performance especially in the first quarter that which they only score 11 points against 29 points in Boston. The number of minutes played by Miami heat players is evenly distributed among the bench which is a clear sign that the starter is not doing well. The absence of Tyler Herro is really noticeable since the Heat bench is useless on today's match. I think game 7 for this match is already guaranteed.

Jimmy Butler was really forcing himself to play on the game earlier even if he had an injury or inflammation on his knee. He still played and got some rebounds along the way but didn't get no more than 30 minutes on the court. Unfortunately, he barely helped his teammates because of that said injury that's why he just contributed 6 points.

Aside from that, Kyle Lowry also didn't got any good run earlier. It's almost inevitable for them to lose the game today but at least they gave the Celtics a good game.
