Heat vs Celtics Game 4 Prediction

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics

Game 4 Eastern Conference Final

8:30 PM EST, ESPN

After beating the Celtics twice in Miami and with the 2nd game being in an epic overtime thriller, I thought that Boston would be dead for game 3 with their old legs and the Heat would wear them out in the 2nd half (basically I thought the series was over). Naturally I was wrong and the Celtics came out and thumped the Heat led by KG who dominated the Heat’s bigs. The Celtics are going to need another game like that tonight if they want to win again though because even though they romped in game 3, I still think the Heat are the better team by a solid margin. The 2 key players for the Celts are KG and Rondo because they both are much better than anybody that the Heat have at those respective positions so they basically need to control the game in order for Boston to win this one.

Celtics vs Heat Series Prediction

Last round recap: So last round went pretty closely to how I thought it would with a couple of small differences. You can read my preview of last round here but I had the Spurs in 5 and they won in 4. I wanted though they would sweep but didn’t have the guts to predict it so that sucks. I had Thunder in 7 and they won in 5. I actually think my prediction was pretty right on as the Lake show should have won 3 of the 5 games, blowing 2 late leads that no Kobe Bean Bryant led team should lose. The Heat won in 6 when I predicted them to win in 5. No real big difference there. And the Celtics won in 7 when I predicted them to win in 6. That series was closer than I thought it would be but I never thought the Celts were in danger of losing this series throughout the entire thing.
