BOSTON becomes THE FIRST CITY to lose a home Game 7 to a No. 8 team in hockey and basketball IN THE SAME SEASON…

…to teams both from Florida, might I add 👀 YIKES

• No. 1 Boston Celtics lose series to No. 8 Miami Heat 4-3

• No. 1 Boston Bruins lose series to No. 8 Florida Panthers 4-3

Not to mention, both No. 8 Florida teams are now in a position to win the finals in their respective sport 👏

That said, THE 2023 NBA FINALS IS FINALLY SET 🏆

The tall Serbian guy, Jamal Murray, and Lana Rhoades’ baby daddy will host Playoff Jimmy and ancient artifact Udanis Haslam - who booked a flight to Denver before Game 7 - for Game 1 of the NBA Finals on Thursday, June 1st.

…Also, did Pat Riley see the script before Game 7 or something?!

MIAMI HEAT SURVIVE THE ODDS 🙌

Jimmy Butler doesn’t like Bumblebees or losing Game 7’s

👇 My thoughts immediately following the game 👇

• Pat Riley SAW THE SCRIPT before Game 7.

  • Hence, he booked the team a flight to Denver and not Miami after the game.

• Jimmy Butler is FROM THE FUTURE by telling us what would happen a year ago today, following a hard-fought Game 7 loss to the Celtics in the 2022 Eastern Conference Finals.

• Mob ties in Miami paid off Referees Scott Foster and Tony Brothers, as the Heat were 0-10 in the regular season when both refs were assigned to their games.

• How can I BET on Game 1 in the NBA Finals without losing money?

  • Oh ya…I’ll USE THIS no sweat first bet sign-up bonus from FanDuel. You should too, fam.

    

……..From quickly going up 3-0……..

……..to almost being reverse-swept……..

…….. to Derrick White’s 0.2-second game-winner……..

……..to have ALL the pressure turned on them heading into Game 7 in Boston……..

👇👇👇👇👇

……..the Miami Heat DISMISSES inserting themselves on the wrong side of history……..

……..Jimmy Butler WINS the Larry Bird MVP ECF trophy on the Celtics’ home floor……..

……..and the Miami Heat JOIN the 1999 New York Knicks as the second No. 8 seed to make the NBA Finals 💪

NBA & NHL FINALS PREVIEW 🏀+🏒
