Rooting for whatever brings either fan base the most pain at this point. Seeing a lot of whining on Twitter about .9 seconds added.

I'm here for it.

So here is the adjustment to stop the Heat from exploiting their switch everything(except center) defense to constantly get missmatches. They pre-switch the bad matchup The Heat wants to take advantage of. It seems like it can cause some confusion or misscommunications but its a nice adjustment since they clearly want to keep their switch heavy defense. Look how much worse Jimmy has played now that he can't get missmatches every time down. I see no reason why we had to auto double/triple him.

I just cannot see Spoelstra being on the end of the biggest collapse and choke job in NBA history. I think Butler and the cHeat get it done tonight but OMG I'd LOVE to see them lose this!

KARMA! I will never understand guys who schedule weddings during playoff time if they are big sports fans.

the best situation is Heat lose and SPoe gets fired for the collapse.

the heat having been playing a little dirty. Not Pistons dirty but still every series it's something. GIannis. Then standing on Brunson's leg and the various hard moving screens. It's easier to root against them, then to think about rooting for the victor

Going for the reverse jinx move there?

At the risk of jinxing it with Boston down 17 in the 4th, my favorite thing about this series is that in almost every game, the home fans have left disappointed.

If the Celtics can add a third supermax in the off-season I’m sure they’ll be fine.

Undrafted players are all the rage right now.

Luckily we have no picks!

Great series and to point, tens of thousands of Heat and Celtics fans left arena empty over the last two weeks. Road team winning more than not.

But Karma is a bitch and not like our guys were playing so its not like knicks won anything beyond 1st round vs. Cavs.

I found myself not in sympathy of Riley at all, but found myself favoring the Heat to win. Why?
Did not want to read about a Boston Celtic team making more good history. They have enough. They are the yankees of Basketball. Enough. Im ok with Jimmy, Bam and the “undrafted”. Unlikely heroes. Kyle Lowrey is ineffective so not so bothersome.
Never had a problem with Spolestra. Stood up to Lebron as a young coach and earned his stripes like JVG did.
Not that I hate Mazzulla or any of the Celtics. His short answers are kind of funny when interviewed. Ainge being gone makes it easier. Brad Stevens is not a dick. Udoka kinda screwed up and put them in a no win place. Damned they fired him, and would have been also if they kept him.
Heat play a good brand of ball. But i’ll be rooting for Nuggets. My son lives in Denver and goes to games a bit, they have never won, not even an ABA chip, I like Malone and the players. But won’t be super pissed if Miami wins either. Riley is low key so it won’t be too obnoxious.
Kronekes are kind of *******s too.

Look at the way Miami played- they forced the Celtics into a TON of 3s and the Celtics didn't knock em down...sound familiar? Heat only struggled when they had issues with turnovers 2nd half of game 4 and through all of game 5.

Miami has flipped the script on the NBA. Slow the game all the way down - shoot with 5 or less on the clock, grind it on defense with zone.

Its one of the great coaching jobs in league history.

ALso I keep saying this, but we have to get Caleb Martin's twin over here. This guy has been a game changer.
