They are trying to go one-on-one; there's no great team chemistry on the team as they do not trust each other so much. They had a plan to double Butler, but Butler is a good passer and can easily spot an outside shooter. This is embarrassing as it's a blowout loss for the Celtics. In my opinion, they are already out as no team has come back from a 0-3 deficit in the history of the NBA.

The three-point shooting is the biggest factor in this loss by the Celtics. They shot 26%, while the Heat shot 54%.

They give up easily. I guess there's a problem within the team, and it's possible that their coach is not happy and is simply blaming the players. The Celtics were considered favorites after the Bucks were eliminated, but it seems like they won't be making a comeback to the NBA Finals this year. Both the Warriors and the Celtics are out, so let's hope that the teams playing in the NBA Finals will provide more entertaining games.

I'm speculating that it could be the Heat versus the Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals and the Nuggets will be a heavy favorite.

With both 3 games lead against their opponents,

we can assume that the chance of advancing to the finals will be for both Denver and Miami.
The way I witness how tough the challenges for Boston, white city shine and not just the players
are enjoying but all the fans who supported them received the entertainment that they wish to see
when they bought the ticket to watch the game live, Bam and Jimmy, together with all the Heat
squad, all of them deserve the praise from the fans.

The Heat has been the underdog since day 1 of the playoffs but they have showed exceptionally well and we have give credit to coach Spo. I think the belief the Heat management has put into his shoulder is really paying off as they are in the verge of going into the finals again after making it at the 8th spot for this year.

As for the Nuggets vs Lakers series, it might end on a sweep as well. They don't want to get the momentum to the Lakers although like the Heat they are in control of the series already, but no need to slack here.

This is clear now that Heat will be on finals since Celtics shows that they can't handle much pressure that's the reason they always get outscored by Butler and the rest of the gang.

Although they can reach to finals but the problem there on how they could defeat the Nuggets knowing that Jokic is solid inside the paint and I think Adebayo is not enough defender knowing that Nuggets star is also known to be a good passer. To many problem need to solve by heat especially their matchmaking since to many guys on Nuggets can give them big problems in terms of scoring and in defensive ends.

Yes, nobody expected that the Heat can actually achieve the place where they are now. At first, people are saying that they won't last long in the play-in but they did attain and clinch a seat towards the playoffs and honestly, I'm one of those because how can we expect from a team that just came from the play-in but the Heat and Lakers did a feat and recorded a history because they both survived the first round.

Now, it's the Miami Heat who will likely to survive the conference finals and will play in the Finals after a couple of years while the Lakers is already on the verge of getting swept in the Western Conference. Business wise, it's the Miami Heat who got a much larger fan base compared to the Nuggets but time will come that Nuggets will also earn its own large fan base not just in Denver but in others parts of the world as well.

Anyway, there's a breaking news just now and it's Carmelo Anthony.

Former All-Star Carmelo Anthony announces his retirement

In fact, the Heat and Nuggets could already be called the final series participants, as there hasn't been a single time in the history of the NBA when a team recovered from 0-3. So I think it makes sense for the Heat to win the series next game to celebrate the Eastern Conference champion ceremony at their home arena, while it makes sense for the Nuggets to extend it to game 5 to also celebrate the ceremony at their home arena.

Miami Heat is leading by three nill right now. It really does not feel like Celtics will actually be able to recover. I will also say that Miami Heat and Nuggets are going to be the finalists. I don't see how it is going to be any different. As you said there has not been once in the history when any team has actually recovered from a 3-0 deficit, I really do not think that history is going to be made. I believe we all know that Miami Heat and Nuggets are going to be the finalist. And that is not going to change in my opinion.

Your prediction is actually not that far from happening because by the looks of it, it seems that the Denver Nuggets and Miami Heat will indeed win from their respective conferences and will face each other in the Finals as they both have a 3-0 standing which is quite an advantage and statistically, there's no team that has bounced back from having a 0-3 deficit. So it's kind of safe to assume the outcome already even if their series are not yet finished.

@livingfree,
Actually, I was a little disappointed, to be honest with the performance that the Lakers have shown.
At the start, I really did not think that these two are actually going to be the finalist.
That's why I am genuinely a little surprised.

@wheelz1200,
I really don't think it is going to be a good idea. Celtics really look down and out.
It is not going to be a good idea to trust them right now. I did not think that Miami Heat is going to have such success.
But it seems like I was certainly wrong.
