Denver v Miami

 

[Iceman!]

This Miami team has shown they can lose to anyone and shown home court means very little for them this play offs.

Miami still heavy favourites but I give the C’s a small chance.

 

[nahnah]

Miami will catch fire in one of the next two and still advance imo

 

[My Tilly]

In this up to our eyeballs now. Similarly to the Philly series, as soon as it got to elimination stage, switch was flicked. Far more talented & we’re locked in on D now.

If Vincent doesn’t play, it’ll be 3-3 & series over.

Can't play Lowly. He's god awful.
Vincent will have to play.

Interesting watching Mazulla coach in the 4th quarter today. A couple of timely time-outs when Heat made a mini run.
Completely unexpected.

Hope not.
Just imagine what Joker will do to Bam

Could be the kind of domination which literally ends his career.

 

[Jack Richards]

Brown is right when he said, the only people that can stop them is themselves. Tatum could play poor.

Thats the worst thing about the Cs.

 

[fidstar]

Everyone picking Miami to get swept probably thought the same against the Bucks and Celtics

You mean Miami will ........


heat up

 

[Judd2Sewell]

Surely the Celtics can't take this series

If Bam plays like he did yesterday where he was literally shaking and did not want the ball, Butler alone won't be enough.
Remarkably indifferent player Bam.

As a Nuggets fan I want Miami to get through desperately

 

[My Tilly]

Yeh I agree. If Heat win game 6, just can't see it being competitive at all. Joker will literally average 20 boards per game.

Celtics match up perfectly against Nuggets. They will enter the finals with momentum.
Hope Nuggets win it though.
The Melo days were the closest thing to getting near a championship.

 

[Memphis]

Man I hope it happens as I want a game 7

You and every Denver fan lol.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

You and every Denver fan lol.

Fair lol but I want something to watch lol

 

[Roby]

The three solitary times teams have come back from 3-0 down (it's happened about 150 times) to make it 3-3, game 7 was at home to the team was up 3-0, and then home team won.

If Celtics win tomorrow they would be the first team ever to play at home in game 7 after being down 3-0. They would then be odds on to win that game.

You'd have to say game 6 is now the critical game in this series.

Agreed Game 6 is basically Miami’s game 7.

 

[peternorth]

Agreed. Game 6 is the most critical game of the year
