Celtics' plan: Take away Heat 3-pointers, force Game 7

I hope Celts win tomorrow and force a game 7 for several reasons

1. I'd rather see a return to Lakers-Celtics final

2. The Lakers need the few extra days rest

To me, that's even a worse scenario as even if the Celtics advanced to the Finals, they will be more beat than a hound dog chasing the ducks. Automatic 4-0. I'd tell Danny to throw in the towel. We are in the asterisk league so anything can happen.

Phil

you're speaking from your gut now rather than your brain. Someone in every game IMO plays hero ball. Had he not tonight IMO they would have lost the game.

Yes, I know Steve. LeBron has done that to me since the rivalry in Cleveland and Miami with the C's. I cannot watch him straight anymore. Sad to say.

It's tough for me as well but at the end of the day this is what he is paid to do. To me this year will be his last chance to win a ring unless in his waning years he decided to join Kawhi and PG as a Clipper. Lakers have really no draft choices and will need to trade a lot of bodies to secure one more superstar. I can't see it happening

I understand your position fully, Steve.

So now that compounds my dilemma. Apparently Riley wants revenge on both the C's, Lakers and LeBron. He can have all 3 in a couple of weeks.

WESTERN CONFERENCE CHAMPS

Lakers win 117-107

Congrats

 

[Steve Williams]

I think it’s very possible Riley can get the last laugh with 5 more wins

 

[Steve Williams]

I hope the Celtics win and take it to a game7.

For you Phil......

'Heat culture' will be tested by resurgent Celtics in Game 6

Amazingly, I have learned that the betting odds had favored the Celtics with a magical +3 in all the past games and including tomorrow. These oddsmakers seem to like a team with no bench and a small lineup. And I'm not talking about the Rockets.

Steve,

I still believe it boils down to who is the hotter shooting team. The game has gone down to that. Well, then there is the zone too. Brad finally sent Kanter to the middle and got 8 points in a few minutes. I hope Brad is not shy to do that again. And how bout that Haslem doing the pep cheering talk at the sidelines. 2M dollars for a job like that.

I think they are going to win today and force a game 7

LeBron on the Clippers? Perhaps the Warriors would be a better choice!

I thought of that but now that he's an Executive Producer and movie star his home is in LaLa Land

Easy flight from LA to SF on a private jet so it could be done.

Slow start for both teams. Miami starting to find their shots and lead 33-27 end of first

 

[Steve Williams]

54-54 Heat lead as Tatum who was 0-7 at the start has made 4 of his last 5 shots. Kemba nails a 3 and suddenly the Celtics are on the tail of the Heat

 

[Steve Williams]

56-55 Celts!!

 

[Steve Williams]

Heat aren't playing that great. I feel the Celts should win this and force game 7

 

[Steve Williams]

End of half

They are just trading baskets as Heat leads 62-60. Going to be an exciting 2nd half


Kemba with 3 fouls
