Raptors were considering Becky Hammon for their head coach opening. After reading about her suspension for bullying one of her players, I wouldn't hire her to be the floor mop.

I'm a Miami Heat fan. But they are still considered underdogs at 2-0. I think the Boston Celtics will win tonight, but the entire series will be won by the Miami team, the score will be 4-2 in favor of the Heat.
As I watched the game, I had the feeling that even if they played for two days, Boston couldn't do anything with Miami.
It looks like there will be a sweep at both conferences.

Yes, I completely agree with you. I didn't think Boston would lose, the team couldn't do anything offensively or defensively. I can only praise the team from Miami, who once again proved that in the playoffs they play with maximum effort and do everything to win.

After the first half, I wouldn't have dared to bet on Denver to win, but they did in won an exciting game.
Today, Miami can also follow the Nuggets to the finals and it would be history, because it has never happened before in the NBA that the NBA Finals teams won both Conference Finals 4-0.
The final will surely be more balanced.

The Lakers were leading confidently in the first half of the game and I also thought they should win, but the Denver Nuggets caught up and pulled out the victory at the end of the game. Congratulations to the Denver Nuggets fans because this will be their first NBA Finals in the history of this team.

The Heat couldn't close the duel, so whoever advances to the finals (Miami or Boston, but Miami is still the favorite), the fact that it can be fresher for the Finals may favor Denver. But, of course, this can also be a disadvantage, as Denver rests too much and they let him out, and the other participant in the final can come from a match.

The Celtics still can win this Conference Final but they can´t make any mistakes in the next games.Tomorrow they will have a great opportunity to get closer.

I think I said it, the Los Angeles Lakers were not a candidate to reach the NBA finals.

The Celtics really pumped themselves for this game.
If the Heat concedes this home game as well, the Celtics can win the duel with a psychological advantage.
At Miami, the new injured (Vincent G.) could no longer be replaced with a quality replacement.
The continuation can come on Saturday. :)

I can't even blame Miami's replacement players when the top of the starters seem to be unable to hit their shots and layups. Butler forgets how to shoot over his defenders. And the turnovers are atrocious. It is like the attributes of both teams got swapped after three games.

In the sixth game, when the Miami Heat take on the Boston Celtics at home, Boston is considered to be favored. However, I think that Miami will win this game and the score in the series will be 4-2. Jimmy Butler and all the other players will do their best to prevent Boston from tying the score. But if Boston wins, I think they will win the seventh game as well.

I'm rooting for Miami today, but I want to see Boston play strong and maybe a seventh game in the series.

As exciting as the end of the game was, I just couldn't believe it was possible, after Butler's cold-blooded penalty throw, I was ready for the Final and then ... Boston had 3 seconds to turn it around, and it was enough. :eek:
What will happen in the final game after that is impossible to predict, but you have to see it. 👀 ;)

I completely agree with you, the game was just incredible, especially the end. I was also sure that Miami would win, but Boston did something impossible in the last seconds. As one coach said, I don't remember who, as long as there are seconds on the scoreboard, the game is not over)

I don't say anything more about these playoffs in the NBA, I missed all the bets, now it looks like the Celtics will achieve the impossible.

Today, Match 7:
Boston - Miami (Over 28.5 (How many points will Jimmy Butler score?) 1.85)

Probably, if 29+ points do not come from Butler, the Heat will be eliminated. :unsure:
