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.
Good point, tired or they are too relaxed because they are on a safe lead while the Celtics still have the fighting spirit to continue and try to make a spark by winning one game.
But let's face it, once the Miami Heat goes back to the type of game they played in their 3 previous game, it will be difficult for the Celtics to win one more.
Right now, I bet Butler is pushing his team to end this series so they can also take plenty of rest just like the Denver Nuggets is experiencing now.
Tomorrow, Game 5 Miami Heat versus Boston Celtics.
What are your predictions?
Here are the odds.
I think it's safe to take that +10.5 for the Miami Heat because whenever they play well it's either they win or it ends up as a close game. The minus for the Celtics is kind of risky for me than taking the plus for the Heat because I doubt the Heat will let it be another blowout. Or for the risk-takers, an ML for Heat will be pretty darn satisfying. Yummy.
