Boston is +650 to win the series down 3-0 What? Lakers were +1400 Boston is way, way better than LA and the Heat are way, way worse than Denver. At least on paper. They're not going to come back from 3-0 regardless, though. Yeah but twice as likely to win? Seems too big of a gap |

The longer it takes for Miami to get to Denver, the more of an advantage the altitude will be in game 1. Miami needs game 1, which they've won in all three series so far. That's the biggest reason I want Boston to extend the series. Keep Miami down at sea level for as long as possible. I don't want to take any risk and will be cheering for Miami tonight ...they will also get a long rest (8 days) but I don't want to face Boston in the NBA Finals |

They are not going to be the first team out of 150 to come back from a 3-0 deficit. Relax. I am hoping Boston wins games 4 and 5 and then Miami finishes it off in game 6. |

Guys, we can't forget how shady (and corrupt) Adam Silver and the management of the NBA is with wanting teams like the Lakers and Celtics in the NBA finals. Even though Miami is up 3-0 -- you never know what type of s*it they might pull against Miami or us ...Scott Foster/Tony Brothers

And they are getting herro back They have so many guys who can score and defend. I have no idea how we can stop them. Butler. Lowry. Bam. Love. Vincent. Strus. Martin. Robinson. But home court is too valuable so we need Miami to win |

Really hope braun gets more time. We will need his hustle and defense to guard some of these guys

They're going to have to guard us as well! They can't do the put someone else besides Bam on Jokic, as they're going to have to put him on Jokic cause they don't have anyone else to guard Jokic, and that then begs they question of who's guarding AG. Like AG is going to have huge advantage inside and on boards vs. Miami.

We have to defend the perimeter Well yes, and how we guard Jimmy on those screens and not allowing Murray to constantly get switched on him is important. But BOS is shitting the bed in these games and making zero adjustments this whole series. |

Adebayo, Love, and Zeller are supposed to deal with Jokic? |

Am I the only one who keeps worrying about game 5 tomorrow, until I have to snap back to reality and realize we’ve already won the f***ing west!
Still hasn’t fully hit me yet.

Boston will win next game too. Some of Miami scrubs fell down to earth but some still shot the ball over 50% fg. It's going to be their turn to miss some shots

Honestly more worried about the days off than either team. The rest is great but you do lose some momentum and the team was rolling.
Miami is the obvious choice here IMO. Them shooting 3's in Denver early on will be interesting. If they aren't shooting the lights out they aren't that dangerous offensively and I think were a bad matchup defensively for them assuming everyone plays up to there standards. I'm not afraid of Boston or anything but the way they could attack our defense is alot more dangerous especially if Tatum/Brown figure out how to handle the pressure. Tatum did tonight, Brown another no show.

Those guys can play with each other with closed eyes but when they're rested they're just flying on the floor. Miami is still easier opponent. Home court is huge here |

Miami is old. Lowry is 37, Love is 34, Butler is 33, Zeller is 30. We want them as worn down as possible coming into the altitude for game 1.
