The NBA schedule provides a couple treats tonight: game one of the Eastern Conference Finals between the Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics, and game seven of what’s turned into an epic series between the Los Angeles Clippers and the Denver Nuggets.
The Heat and Celtics are evenly matched. They each have exploitable weaknesses and serious strengths, and their coaches are two of the best. I’m leaning towards the Heat winning in six or seven because they’ve been much better since shifting Bam Adebayo to center and because they have two All-NBA level performers (Adebayo and Jimmy Butler).
