duel at the top

After the elimination of the Bucks after a completely controlled Game 7, the Celtics validated their ticket for the Eastern Conference Finals, where they will find the Heat. Miami against Boston, a confrontation that smells good of the beginning of the 2010s and above all that breathes basketball. Two formations with multiple assets, only one place… that’s what we like!

Jimmy Butler, Tyler Herro, Bam Adebayo, Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, Marcus Smart… A host of stars will meet in South Beach on Tuesday to open the Eastern Conference Finals. A lot of big talents yes, but above all two full squads capable of crushing everything in their path. We’re not going to make Nets and Hawks fans suffer, but what they had to watch in the first round was approaching the show. When Brooklyn bit the dust against the Celtics’ defensive lock, Trae Young and his team ran into the Heat’s daron defense. The Bucks will therefore have held off Ime Udoka and his troops for seven games, but the determination of Boston will have allowed these guys to reverse the trend and save their skins in a decisive Game 6 in Wisconsin. Adding the defending champion to the table of hunts, there is enough to spin the willies to the adversary… or not. The Heat, for their part, managed the Sixers in six rounds, but it was with a dull Joel Embiid, hampered by a bad fracture in the right orbit. Finalist in 2020, it’s time to return to the last step before the summit, but this time to climb it.

And hey, who did the Heat eliminate two years ago in the conference finals to win the right to fight with LeBron and company in Mickey’s bubble? We give you a thousand, it was the Celtics. Suddenly, it smells of revenge very strongly. Failing at the gates of the ultimate duel, Beantown must now show that these two years of preparation have not been in vain. One of the keys to the series? Defense, again and again. Contain Jimmy Butler and Tyler Herro? We know that the Heat is a complete group but without the leaders, it immediately leads much less. You just finished that sentence, you can now replace Heat with Celtics and Jim’ and Tyler with Jayson and Jaylen. You will certainly have understood it, we will see two teams with similar qualities compete. The collective style takes precedence, everyone is essential in the overall success, since this passes first and foremost through the protection of the roll bar. We are going to enjoy at least four games, but there is little doubt that this series should offer us more, and that we take every day.

The Eastern Conference Final will send heavy, in any case little chance that it will turn into a wet firecracker given the global talent that will be present on the floors. The determination of the Celtics, the flawless control of the Heat… who do you lean towards? You have until the start of hostilities on Wednesday evening to make your choice!
