The only thing holding the Boston Celtics back from Banner 18 is their ability to keep everyone healthy. Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown can dominate the wings with their scoring.

The Miami Heat have accomplished what they set out to do in the first two games. All Coach Erik Spoelstra and the Bam Adebayo-led squad had to do was steal one game from the Boston Celtics. They bounced back fairly well after getting blown out in Game 1. A lot of it had to do […]
