Miami vs Boston who are the favorites?

[GrayGoat]

I think Miami has the edge as jimmy butler is the only established star. Both teams are deep but Miami has that edge as well. I think this will go at least 6 games

[Axe]

Boston has already made three ecf trips in the last 5 years. Miami? Not so much but they have the potential to dominate with this lineup.

Marcus smart is the wild card for Boston. He can give Dragic problems I believe

[NBAGOAT]

i'm picking boston in 6 or 7

[ThatCoolKid]

Boston is the better team imo. Will be a close series though.

[CelticBaller]

Celtics in 7

[BigtimeNBAFan]

Should be a good series. I give the edge to Boston because of their experience and their starting 5 is better. I also think Kemba will have a better series. Love Pat Riley though. He is one of the greatest executives of all time to continually build contending teams.

[keep-itreal]

This will be one hell of a series. I can't wait to watch this. It will definitely go 7 games

What does that have to do with who the favorites are this year? I'd say that the Heat are the favorites considering what they did to Milwaukee. I think it's like 51-49, but still, Miami is playing some good ball right now.

Still gotta go Celtics in 7. :rockon:

We're about to find out if Miami beating the Bucks was simply a Rock/Paper/Scissors situation or something more.

On paper the Cs are a lot better equipped to dealing with a 'wall' sort of defense like the one the Heat employed against Giannis.

But hey I don't doubt that Butler and Jae and Iggy can give Tatum & Brown fits.

Well, who are milwaukee compared to the defending champs this year? If miami got to face toronto instead, then the series might have been over with the latter dominating. And I've mentioned the recent ecf trips because the heat hasn't even gone beyond past the ecsf for five years.

Yeah, it will be an interesting matchup. Moreso than what could have been a rematch of the bucks and raptors, i believe.

Butler, Jae and Iggy are all superior defenders compared to the raptors and Tatum struggled A LOT in the raptors series.

Those Miami goons are going to give Tatum and Brown that work. They won't let Tatum shoot those pvssy ass step back jumpers this series

[Axe]

Shit yeah, i forgot about iggy. He's really lucky that he will play his sixth straight cf appearance this year.

[Penetrator]

Hard to pick this series.. prob Boston in 6?

[MJistheGOAT]

A really hard series to predict and a nice one to watch.
No superstars, elite coaching, teamwork, good defense and new faces in a conference finals.

I say Boston in 7

Oh yeah. It's going to be a fun series I think. Well, I believe the Celts may win, I think the Heat have the weapons to compete. And it's interesting to see as you said, whatever Miami beating the Bucks was simply a Rock/Paper/Scissors situation or something more.
