Theis with his 4th foul. Actually kinda good, as I think Williams is the better match-up with Miami despite being a worse player than Theis overall.
For Miami, Iguodala needs to spell Crowder more who has given little.

Never thought I'd see a team playing zone win the Conference Finals again. That Jimmy Butler commercial to start the playoffs seems pretty accurate now.

It feels weird rooting for the Heat, but this is such a likable team. I hope they somehow beat the Lakers.

Imagine telling a fan in the summer of 2010 the 2020 Finals would be Heat-Lakers with LeBron in L.A.

Sigh, really thought the Celtics were Finals bound. I still think they are the (slightly) more talented team but Miami were uncrackable and made the big plays when they needed it.
I think the biggest problem was that the Celtics played too tight too often when the game was close late. It happened in Game 1, Game 2 and tonight. I even noticed it in the Toronto series. This is something the Celtics need to overcome. Still the Celtics are young, maybe they need another seasoned veteran like Iguodala or somebody.
As for Miami I have only one thing to say:

I think the Heat have a really good chance to win it all.
Spo can be a brilliant coach and there’s something about the way they’re playing that could mess with the Lakers

Celtics are still a big away. They have two legit emerging superstars in Tatum and Brown, Kemba is a third option which is scary and Marcus Smart seems like the type of guy that’s on a lot of championship teams .
Curious is Hayward opts out to try to get more years elsewhere.
But Celtics got bossed around in three of the six games by Bam and that killed em

I just know that Bam's momma named him with some damn fine foresight. Every dunk has so much, well, BAM on it. Never seen a dude before where every dunk looked like attempted murder on the basketball.

I think they can move some salary and get Tristan Thompson. Perfect energy guy who will crash the boards and run the floor at Otherwise, you’re searching for trades or buy low. I think can get Whiteside on a decent deal assuming blazers don’t reup him. Can run a small big too like a Taj Gibson off the bench |

As for Miami I have only one thing to say: The problem is, who is their closer? People were saying it was Tatum, but he didn't step up. Kemba Walker looked bad at the end of games. It's not Brown or Smart, and Heyward is not the player he used to be. They have a ton of talent, but no take over superstar. Maybe Tatum becomes that, but for now that 4th quarter with a missed 3 after a missed 3 after a missed 3 should be what they watch over and over. When Tatum and Brown and Smart attacked the basket, good things happened. |

Can run a small big too like a Taj Gibson off the bench I naively suggest LaMarcus Aldridge since he can bring rim protection, consistent mid-range shooting and an improved 3 point shot. That and, if somebody picks him, his contract would be for a year so he could get an extension or be let ho depending on his performance. |

That’s a good pick but probably out of Boston price range since they get got 3 guys already making $25 mill a year It can be done but they probably have to flip Hayward to make the money even and add Robert Williams. It all depends on Spurs price tag which has been said to be high. I can see Pop demanding Marcus Smart |

He’s growing each year on the job and he should be taking a lot of lessons in these losses |

I can see Pop demanding Marcus Smart I mention Aldridge because he can be a bit more expensive than Tristan Thompson and Whiteside but cheaper than Drummond and has shown himself as a proven scorer. That and Boston showing that they can be effective without Hayward around (sometimes for reasons beyond his control) with the Tatum/Brown/Smart/Kemba core ending up intact, addressing San Antonio's issues with long range shooting and players in the 3 and 4 spots along the way. Then again, rumors say that Victor Oladipo might leave Indiana and he's being linked with the Celtics so that's something to consider as well. |
