If the Celtics win Game 5 and 6, then I think we will have a game.
Definitely, we can say they might make history if that happens.
But, we have seen the Miami Heat play better on the road. They love the challenge and it gets them pumped up. I think what happened today is just them being too relaxed and forgetting about how it should be played in this series. We will see how Jimmy Butler will carry his team on Boston homecourt.

There's another factor too that I believe is partly the reason why the Heat was defeated in Game 4. Maybe the Heat was just too tired from playing aggressively and having a good defense in straight three games without having some rests in-between, that is why they fell out of bounce in the 2nd half.

Anyway, the way I see it, that might be the Boston's last game that they can own because the Heat on the road is still dangerous and that gives them time to rest too while traveling compared when they are having a back to back games.

Yeah, that can be a big factor as they are playing aggressive for the past 3 games and really pushing things to the limit.

They might need a little rest then start that aggressiveness again in game 5, though it's on the Garden, but they already won 2 games
on the road and they are really dangerous when they all are in their cheat mode.

I noticed Bam's production is not that much in game 4. For sure, there's a good adjustment that they'll going to do here
to try finishing the series.

Bettors decisions now, As we all know that there are many factors that each bettors have when picking the bet to take.

Might be reason indeed because playing impressively against the #1 in the East will surely take toll on their body and enough of their energy as they are still humans like us although they are trained much differently from the other leagues in the world. To sum it up, it was a good run for the Celtics because they denied getting swept just like the Lakers, but I do believe that it was their last win as well.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not underestimating the Celtics but given the situation we have now, it is clear enough to see that the Miami Heat leaded by Jimmy Butler have the upper hand in this series. It will be a tough one for sure to sack them but I bet the Heat can find a way to do that.

My bet wasn't that lucky because the Boston Celtics forced their way and won the Game 4, I honestly did not expect that something like that would happen as I'm already thinking that they might have gave up already after what happened in Game 3 but it seems that it wasn't the case here anymore because the Celtics brought the game again towards their home.

Congratulations to all who predicted the game and let's bounce back for those who have lost their bet while riding the Miami Heat's train.
Me too. But we guessed it wrong. They still have the will to win and Jayson Tatum showed it pretty well today by leading his team with 33 points and not being present in the 4th quarter, unlike their previous games.
Their 3-point field goals also went up, so I guess they adjusted by attacking the paint first to open some space and then kicking the ball out for an outside shot. It worked and I think they will try to repeat the same play in Game 5.

Congratulations to all those who took the Celtics bet.

What's everybody betting on for the Heat vs Celtics game?  I used my free bet from Sportsbet to go with the Celtics just because I think it's close to impossible for having two teams getting swept back to back.  Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy  I don't really watch basketball so dunno...  Just hoping to get lucky and use the proceeds to bet somewhere else.

Anyway, what do you guys think of the bet?  Judging from the odds, seems like the books think it's either team's game..?
The Boston Celtics moneyline right now is quite tempting because for the first time in this series versus the Miami Heat, they are getting listed as the underdogs @ 2.06 .. And they still have a chance to bounce back and win at least one game before the series ends but I deeply think that eliminating the Heat in the process and face the Nuggets in the next stage is quite too much for them.

For me, I'll take Miami Heat -2.5 @ 2.08 because I don't think they will agree to travel back in the Celtic's homecourt and play on the road if they can win the game later.

I think that’s probably the smart bet to make. There’s a good chance that Boston is mentally defeated already, especially after seeing the Lakers get swept last night. In elimination games the team being eliminated usually gives up and there’s a giant lead by the end. That’s what I’d expect to happen tonight. If Miami wins, I’m guessing they win big.

My bet wasn't that lucky because the Boston Celtics forced their way and won the Game 4, I honestly did not expect that something like that would happen as I'm already thinking that they might have gave up already after what happened in Game 3 but it seems that it wasn't the case here anymore because the Celtics brought the game again towards their home.

Congrats to those who ride on the Celtics, Jayson Tatum prevented a end of season for them as he lead all scorers with 33 points. So another sigh of relived fort them, just one game at a time. Lost my bet on the Heat as I thought that they are going to sweep the series.

The good thing is that they are going back to Boston Garden. The bad thing is that numbers is against them. No team in the history of NBA has comeback from down 0-3 in a playoff series.

The downside is that there is no guarantee they will win Game 6, as they don't have a good home record in the playoffs. Therefore, the Heat would still be a threat. In fact, home court is no longer an advantage in this series, as both teams have won on their opponent's home court.

Jason Tatum needs to bring that energy in Game 5, or else it will be time to go fishing.

Of course, there's no guarantee that the home team will win, although we can say that they have a higher chance of winning since they have the crowd's support. However, we've already seen in the Lakers vs Nuggets series where the Nuggets beat the Lakers twice on their home court to eliminate them. We have to assess which team is better, and based on the current record, it appears that the Heat are the better team.

If the Celtics win Game 5 and 6, then I think we will have a game.

I wouldn't fall for the bait of the bookies since this is the best game for Miami to shut the door on the Celtics and advance to the finals.

I think the Miami Heat are the bait here because people might expect a similar series to that of the Lakers and Nuggets. The Heat's big win in Game 3 adds to the belief that they should easily win the closeout game. Additionally, the line movement suggests that bettors are putting their money on the Heat, indicating that the Heat was the popular choice among the public. However, it's worth noting that the public often experiences losses in such situations.

Seems like it. I don't know what happened to the Miami Heat after having a good run in the 1st half because they definitely slowed down in the middle of 3rd quarter until the game ended while the Celtics has been poised not to lose the game anymore and their energy has been very lively to chase the Heat whenever they go and was able to give them answer as always. Tatum did a good job for always attacking the paint and his shooting has been impressive because he was always confident that he can do it.

I favored for the Celtics today on the ML and handicap and bet on that 1-3, 6-10, and 11-14 lead for them as I see they will make it and that was at loss having that 17 blowout, wow I never thought that Celtics would made a run in the final quarter. Jayson Tatum is being aggressive and we didn't see this on the recent matches or it's not him that putting the efforts. I don't know if they can pull it again to a game 6 but that's unlikely, the Heat will came up with a win the next game.
Did you win? I think the there's a betting option too for a team to win by 16-20 points, and the odds are definitely high. Jayson Tatum had a good game, but hopefully, it's a wake-up call for him to be aggressive all the time and continue shooting the ball. When he's hot, he's unstoppable. It's a blowout win and a big bounce back because the Heat were able to blow them out in Game 3 with a 26-point lead.
Was at a loss but just likely 20% on my overall stake since I have other bets that won too like betting for Jimmy Butler to score over 25.5 and Jason Tatum for 26.5. If it was predicted as it was on my end that would have been @10 or more odds, that should have been a juicy win for me if the Celtics didn't make a run with those 3's and some free throws.

This was probably the best stat with him in this ECF with 63 FG% and if he has done that same energy during the much needed win on game 3 then this series would have been good for them since the next game will be on their home. They're good on pressure games just like what they did on the semifinals and there's still hope on them if they win this game five.

I wouldn't fall for the bait of the bookies since this is the best game for Miami to shut the door on the Celtics and advance to the finals.
Yeah they're baiting gamblers here but I think Celtics is chasing a history here coming back from 3-0 deficit and that Jaylen Brown's tweet regarding they shouldn't let the Celtics win in game 4 is still an understatement, for now I'd say. I know, the chance is slim for them but they're still balling. Whoever wins this ECF is my favorite to match with the Nuggets.

Just got off the road after working out of town and unfortunately seeing that my strategy of "man both of these teams can't possible get swept out of the conference championships" doesn't seem like it's going to work this time, as it didn't for last nights game with the Lakers lol.  I gotta stop betting on why I think things will happen or perhaps what tends to happen...and base it off the hear and now.  Heat and Denver are just superior teams, and it's been evident since game 1 for both teams.

Boston was fortunate to have a dominant win in game 4. They should continue to play in that manner, emphasizing ball movement and teamwork instead of relying on isolation plays. Now, they are back on their home court for game 5. Hopefully, they can secure a victory, allowing us to witness a game 6 at the Heat's home arena. However, it's important to note that history tells us that no team has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit, so I won't set high expectations for the Celtics at this moment.

That's a good value bet if you ask me, everything have been going wrong for the Boston Celtics in this series, but that's not because the Celtics are an awful team, but the Heat doing stellar job against and Celtics finding it almost impossible to penetrate to the Heat's defense.

I have more on the props with players like Gabe Vincent, Kyle Lowry for assists , Robert Williams for Rebound and Al-Horford for rebound.

I'm looking forward to another sweep, so Miami Heat ML @1.83, and after watching one of the post-game interviews from the Celtics side, it sounded like they're demotivated and can't find any solution to beat the Miami Heat.

If this was in TD Garden maybe they stand a chance, but last game Jimmy Butler wasn't even the top leading scorer on the side of the Miami Heat.

I wouldn't fall for the bait of the bookies since this is the best game for Miami to shut the door on the Celtics and advance to the finals.

G. Vincent 2+ 3pts / C. Martin 2+ rebounds / J. Butler 1+ steals @1.78  X

I can already see "don't let us get one" memes floating around tomorrow! Lol

The Heat's early help defense has been outstanding in this series, and their role players are heating up (pun intended), they are playing with so much confidence on offense while disciplined on defense.

Gabe Vincent has hit 2+ three-pointers in 11/L14 games this postseason, including 10 against the Celtics on 56% shooting from deep, he is coming off a career-high 29 points.

Caleb Martin has been an integral part of what the Heat have done on defense. His minutes have gone from 15 to 30+ in this series. 2+ rebounds in 13/L14, 3/3 vs. Celtics.

Butler has 11 steals in three games, and with the Celtics averaging 15 turnovers per game, 1+ steals should be considered a lock.

Still very close as far as ML is concern, Heat at 1.8x and then Celtics at 2.0x.

I will go with the Heat -3.5 here, 2.10. I do agree that if Heat is going to win it could be another blowout. If not then be like the Nuggets, come from behind and winning at least 4-5 points and then Jimmy Butler celebrating.

What a journey for the Heat to go in the finals again with this set of players, undrafted by everyone has a big heart to compete.
