    Imagine thinking Tatum is a top 5 player lmao He has zero clutch gene. Way too hot and cold. He’s definitely good though. Jimmy Butler is consistent in the playoffs. The Joker can go off and drive anytime he wants to take the offense over. I don’t think either team would beat Denver. Maybe take one home game.

    @TimmyT what do you think about the Heat tonight? I see the Celts are favorites which scares me because they aren’t typically great as the favorite. Tatum in elimination games is a different animal tho. This is the real game 7 in my opinion. If it goes back to Boston I don’t think Miami is pulling that one out.

    I'm with you. obviously, the heat still has a chance if they lose tonight, but i don't think they'll win a game 7 in boston. winning game sevens on the road isn't impossible, but it's hard to do. to me the heat need to get it done tonight and i think they will.

    if boston somehow comes back and wins this series, they'll make history. there's never been an NBA team that has won a series (in ANY round) when they were down 0 to 3.

    Tonight is definitely game 7, could go either way. The Heat role players have played absolutely out of their minds and the Heat have shot with insane efficiency, something had to give.

    It’s hard to give the same weight to seeding as there used to be with load management now. Teams don’t give a f--- about the regular season. The Lakers obviously weren’t a true 8 seed and Jimmy Butler missed 1/4 of the season. The Heat are not a true 8 seed. At full strength they are very clearly a better team than the Nets, Hawks, Knicks and probably Cavs.

    That said, the Celtics are obviously a much more talented team than them so it makes all the sense in the world that they’d be the ones to comeback from 0-3. We’ll see.
