I went with 5 games, I can see Miami taking one of the first two at their house and then Boston destroying all hopes of a trip to the Finals for Miami once the series goes to Boston. the final game will be played in Miami but the Heat will have been beaten on the parquet floor with the leprechaun already.

 and I'll toss in a 40+ game by Brown for good measure.

Hi,
It's a very tight schedule. I hope Celtics can handle it. Hope RWIII will be able to play.

I voted Celtics in 7.

AK

I went with Celtics win in 6.

One home loss and one away loss.

Celtics win on home court.

I’m going Celtics in 7, especially with Kyle Lowry having hamstring issues. Should be another throwback physical series.

By mistake I hit Heat in 7 but meant Celtics in 7. I couldn’t find a way to fix it.

Bob,

I just added vote canceling to the poll, you are free to correct your egregious mistake!

I'll revisit this tomorrow and remove vote cancelling before tipoff.

Thanks GYSO for this and all you do for the Forum!

I am taking the Celtics in 6.

The Heat ended their series on Thursday.  They will have 5 games rest.  The Celtics on the other hand had a quick turnaround and headed to Miami last night.

So that first game could be sluggish for a Boston team that played in 2 games since the Heat won their lot.

I think we will have to go 9 deep in game 1. That Bucks series was brutal.

I had Celts in 6 vs the Nets
In 6 vs the Bucks
…so, why ruin a good thing, Celts in 6!

There you go. I am the guy that voted the Celts in 4. Changed my mind from the 6 I was thinking last night.

Celtics in 7.

Make that as long as Marcus Smart is back by game 2 and RWIII can contribute. Smart is questionable for game one.

Smart ??? is why I went Celts in six.

I have to find out what Perk says first

I'm with prakash. I believe the Death Star finally became operational in the last series but needed some minor repairs. Everything lined up in G7 and the players became aware that, "Holy Crap!! That's what the last half of the season was like!! Where you been, old friend?!!"

Celtics will take that momentum since there was no time off and steamroll the Heat, much to Eric Spoelstra's Cheshire Cat, smug face smilin' chagrin. This series will force him into retirement as he will immediately see the next 5-7 year writing on the wall. Throw Pat Reilly in there for good measure.

Halleluiah!! Amen!!

I was not even close as to how this played out, except the part about WE WIN!!

We missed out on the festivities in front of our own fans.  That would have been the cherry on top of our Sunday last Friday!!

Next!!

Well as has been confirmed even by the league, refs screwed us last minutes in Boston, with calls on White that were fishy/questionable at best and gave Tucker 4 fga’s. We gave that game away, J’s with 11 turnovers gave it to them. We have to eliminate the beating ourselves plays next round to have any chance.
