Ended up playing some small Celtics -2 1Q and a good sized -3 (-115) for the purpose of hunting out a good middle with +8 or +9 with the Heat at some point. If the Celtics blow it out in the 2Q (a real possibility in this ideal spot) I’d look to ride out the win.
Not necessarily “trusting my gut” bc I do feel Miami would be in ideal position to close this out if it’s close in the 4Q......but in an elimination game I do expect the Celtics to be the early aggressor and have a double digit 1H lead at some point.
Edit: Pretty much the worst start possible lol. They just can’t do a thing offensively against this defense and can’t stop them consistently on the other end. I may have been right about the blowout.....ugh.
