Heat in 6, it’s not about personnel, also they still got Bam and a lot of shooting. We could be witnessing the greatest collapse in NBA history
If they don't steamroll the Heat without Jimmy their entire roster should be forced to retire
That's a bold title given last year every prediction you had for the Heat was wrong! #HeatCulture
A Miami sweep??
BET!!
All this nlah blah blah, and i agree but Heat in 7
All we have to do is injure Kristaps game 1 and we can have a legit shot. We will be playing dirty all series. Go Heat!
Hey Jason! I know your excited for todays Lakers win? Right? Because you Love Lebron so much that that will be enough to make an OUTRAGEOUS claim that the lakers actually can win this series.
I think you’ll learn something about basketball after the Celtics series. About what wins in the playoffs. And it’s not step back 3’s up by 20. That won’t translate
Shai is not one of their worst defenders, tf u talking about?!?
I would be surprised if Miami doesn't win. Boston is one of the mentally weakest teams of all time and I think Miami especially without Butler will be easily motivated and win. Heat in 6, though 5 wouldn't surprise me.
The Heat have the 2 best defenders in the series. It’s going to be difficult for Boston to do what they want to do
Porzingis is the zone buster.
DWhite and Kung Fu Jrue going to lock up Herro.
Without Butler, good luck containing Brown AND Tatum.
No Butler = Celtics can play Pritchard
Is Rozier suiting up eventually?
How delusional can Heat fans be , Miami will bend over for Boston this series 😏 stop playing.
i think Miami can take one game
Miami only hope is what they did last year…. Shoot out of their minds on 3s
What a lose lose series for the celtics…
They wont get any credit for winning the series and will get flamed if they lose a game in this series
The pelicans have no chance to beat the thunder stop it😂 thunder in 5
Thunder sweep ⚡️⚡️⚡️
Heat in 6. We got the Mexican Larry Bird.
Heat in 5
Injuries can happen to Tatum. Not wishing it but look at what the Heat facing with all these injuries. Also the Celtics usually choke. Every single year
Sixers bring out the brooms 🧹 76ers in 4
Celtics in 3
Some of the Heat fans in the comments are hilarious.
Jimmy buckets takes the celts out in 5,as boston still cant win at home when it matters. CELTICS ARE NOT AN ELITE TEAM
This guy never watches enough Thunder games. Please bet $200 on the Pels if you think they are better
The delusion of heat fans is at a all time high 🤣😂🤣
I really like your stuff normally but you like everyone still underestimate the thunder. Thunder in 4. I will copy this when this occurs.
Pels will get sweep. You don’t watch OKCvthat much. OKC also plays excellent at their home court
SGA was playing through his injury in the March game too, nowhere near his best which was probably worth noting. Pels match up pretty well defensively but yeah, can't see this going longer than 5.
As a heat fan i feel great because this guy give a prediction again against the heat like every year so im feeling good now
It’s weird to me how SGA gets all this love while Tatum gets all the hate and criticism. Tatum has accomplished way more than SGA, and they’re about the same age..
The Celtics' goal should be to end their series early to not have to play as many games as the others.
Miami was projected a 3% chance to win the series last season in ECF.
But serious question, in the highly unlikely chance Miami upsets the Celtics. Do they blow up the team? Trade Brown? Get another head coach?
