The NBA Eastern Conference Finals is not what the fans were expecting from the Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics series. The playoffs are uncertain and entertaining through and through, however, ECF is not something anybody expected. Last night the Heat went up 2-0 against the Celtics at the TD Garden. This puts the Heat in the driving seat as they take the series to Miami for Games 3 and 4.
Last year the fans got this same fixture in the Finals in the East. The series went down to the wire, with the Celtics winning it in Game 7. it was an unfortunate loss for the Heat, who forced a Game 7 to give themselves hope. However, this time they are not taking things lightly and forcing the issue on every sequence. Fans are pleading NBA commissioner, Adam Silver to rig the series to make it interesting and exciting for the fans. “Crazy how celtic fans went from “easy series, 4-0” to begging the commissioner to rig their series,” a fan commented.

Calm down. The Hollywood writers are on strike. This is the best Adam can do at the moment. Cut him some slack

The Celtics decision making in the 4th quarter was questionable, as they couldn’t cope up with the Heat gunning for a win. The Celtics were in a comfortable lead at the start of the 4th quarter, however, they fell off pace. It was as this point when the Heat took advantage of it and mounted a comeback. Neither team were able to hold their lead, it was a back and forth sort of game.
Nonetheless, the Celtics find themselves in a hole, after failing to make the best of their home-court advantage. The FTX Arena is going to be a tough place for the Celtics, as the Heat are aware the series could very well be won at home.
Will Miami Heat reach the 2023 NBA Finals?
The Heat are playing at an immense level in the post season, they are surely turning up the heat against every opponent. Despite barely making it to the playoffs, they managed to grab the 8th seed. However, the Heat were counted out by most critics in the first round of the playoffs. However, it is shaping out to be a very strong postseason run from the Heat.
