There's been 3 teams in history to force a game 7 after being down 3-0 but I believe they were all on the road in game 7. This would be different. However, Boston has played like ass at home all playoffs so :manny:

Bam and Lowry playing bad is just as big. Miami won Game 2 without all 3 of them playing great. You expect roleplayers to cool down to a degree, but that’s when your leaders gotta shine. Lowry off the bench, and Bam. Jimmy was entrusting them to figure it out, which worked in Game 3, but tonight we needed a Jimmy 34-40 game when these guys went cold. But again, we’ve seen Miami win the first 3 in multiple ways. As long as they defend, even if they don’t catch fire, they can still impact the game and make it close down the stretch which favors Miami. Boston is gonna have to blow Miami in all of the next 3 games. :yeshrug:


Spoelstra benching Jimmy to start the 4th wasn’t the best strategy either as he was starting to heat up to close the 3rd

Ultimately it's been 4 games and MIA is up 3-1

If MIA wins game 5, then sure that's not as great a flex as saying you swept them but that's still a flex, and shameful if you're the Celtics

But if Boston wins game 5 and say it's a blowout, then yea mentally they'll be thinking it's the 3-2 Philly series all over again and MIA will be feeling the pressure for game 6.
Luckily for MIA, the Celtics have been bad at home

Sounds like the C's kissed and made up their internal drama after game 3 ("galvanized"), and it led to better connectedness on the court.

:ehh:

JB had a meh game, but his energy seems much better now. If his game comes online, we might have a series.
