MIAMI is on 5 days rest. Does this matter ??

Isn’t this a golden opportunity for them to steal game 1? 

I have not bet this game (yet) but zooming out here, I think 8 is a very high spread, granted the Celtics have more talent but I we’ve seen their formula in these playoffs. Spo is a far superior coach than Mazz.

I think Miami will throw the kitchen sink in this game tomorrow. I really do. They might not win but 8? Indicates a blow out.

I like Miami 1H +4.5

Heat are overrated AF.. playing well above their means…. They are not a good team. Celtics every game for me.. Sweep

@davemsh

 They couldn’t sweep the Hawks but they’re going to sweep the heat? 

@Kebokaos

 Watch and learn.. this is the ECF..  Not the 1st round.. 

Knocking out the 1 seed Bucks didn’t impress?

Celts aren't sweeping anybody...

The coaching disparity is ridiculously favoring the Heat...

8 is too much at this stage IMO..

Celts are the better team , no doubt, but will be in a fight in this series..just like the Philly series.

Heat well rested may steal game 1.. .

Miami is 11-9 SU (5-14-1 ATS) with a rest advantage this season.  Their ATS record in this situation is the worst in the NBA .  Boston is 13-6 SU (12-7 ATS) with a rest disadvantage.  Their SU record in this situation is the best in the NBA.

Hmm.........

Hmm.........

When you take a week off from playing video games, how quickly do your thumbs shed off their rust?

good luck with that

@Jimmy_Cats

 What's the o/u numbers if u don't mind?

Thanks

Home teams in Game 1 after winning a series that went six or more games have gone 30-11 to the over since the 2009-10 season, including last night’s game flying way over.

@jmrodrig

 Ya I had a heavy lean for the over. Celts 29-19 to the over at home

Boston will struggle to win this series as they haven't looked good in any series yet.The Celts have great tallent but it seems they don't play as a team and their coach im not too sure about?

Has the Mazzula finally figured something out with his Horford / Williams lineup combo ???  

Check +/- for Boston with this 

C's only go as far as Tabum takes them. If he has a night like it was in game 7 C's are world champs but if he is having a bum game, the C's are bums. Im thinking multiple turnovers and bricks tonight he'll put up 20+ but on like 8 for 25 shooting

 After boasting, at least come back in the thread, and admit that you were wrong.

That requires one to possess HUMILITY...
