The Miami Heat will capture Game 5 and advance to the 2020 NBA Finals.
Yes, one more lukewarm “hot take.” Jimmy Butler and this Miami Heat team are going to win Game 5 over the Boston Celtics and punch their tickets to the 2020 NBA Finals.
In this entire postseason, this team has never not performed well when riding a sudden change of momentum. Miami won Game 4 over the Indiana Pacers, Game 5 over the Milwaukee Bucks, and of course most recently, Game 4 over the Boston Celtics all in this postseason.
When you look at the guys on this roster from top to bottom, it’s clear they’re built for the occasion. Between Butler, Crowder, Herro, and Adebayo, this Heat team responds well to pressure. That’s how they got here, and how (I’m predicting) they’ll advance to the Finals.
It may not be pretty, as it hasn’t all series, but look for a Miami Heat win on Friday in Game 5.
The Miami Heat will look to make their first NBA Finals appearance on Friday with a Game 5 win over the Boston Celtics, ending and advancing past the Eastern Conference Finals. Tip-off is scheduled for 8:30 pm EST, and coverage will be provided by ESPN.
