Miami is guaranteeing a Game 7 victory. Boston is looking to complete an impossible comeback, to rewrite history instead of just being a footnote to it.
Either Miami’s Jimmy Butler and Erik Spoelstra will pull off Joe Namath-Mark Messier-type guarantees Monday at TD Garden, or they’ll suffer the biggest choke in the annals of playoff basketball.
Of the 150 NBA teams that had tried, only three had even forced a Game 7; and all of them fell short on the road. Boston is on the brink, but brinks don’t count.“Oh, no, we all talked about it. We’re all aware it’s not time to celebrate. We didn’t accomplish anything,” Jayson Tatum said. “The job is far from finished. This is a great [Heat] team, really well-coached team, and we’ve got to be ready on Monday. It’s not over.
“It doesn’t get too much worse than being down 0-3. We feel like we’ve been to hell and back. We feel like we can face any adversity that gets thrown at us,” Jaylen Brown said. “It all means nothing if we don’t come out and give our best effort on our home floor on Monday night. The Heat are heavy eight-point underdogs, and TNT’s Charles Barkley said “There’s not a person in America” who thinks Miami will win. But there will be a handful in the Heat locker room Monday that believe they will.
