The Boston Celtics aren’t up in the series and are still one loss away from starting their vacation, but they might still feel better than the Miami Heat right now.
Erik Spoelstra and company should be concerned after getting manhandled in back-to-back games, up to the point where even Jimmy Butler is struggling to get going offensively right now.
That’s why Shannon Sharpe believes the Celtics have them right where they want them, citing that they’ve been dominant on both ends of the floor and that they’ve been able to flip the script.

Sharpe pointed out the fact that the Celtics started to take better care of the ball and are forcing the Heat to turn the ball over, which hadn’t been the case in the first three games.
Moreover, he believes that the Celtics are the better team player by player, especially in terms of their role players.
He explained that it’s hard to beat a team when four of their players go off for at least 21 points, adding that the Heat simply can’t have that kind of production because most of their players played over their heads earlier in the postseason and have now come back down to Earth.
No team wants to be down in a series, let alone 0-3.
But the Celtics were always confident in their chances of coming back one game at a time, and the Heat better take care of business in Game 6 on Saturday night, as they don’t want to head back to Boston for Game 7.
