Breaking news Miami heat guard gave Vincent who is averaging 17 and a half points during the eastern conference finals

0:07.2

Has been ruled out with a left ankle screen for game five versus the Celtics on tonight

0:13.5

The team just announcing that windy tell me this are you giving the Celtics a chance to win this series?

0:23.1

I can't really foresee what's going on in this series

0:26.5

It's very very difficult to read things from game to game things that would follow conventional thinking are really outside

0:33.4

The realm here, you know the heat

0:35.4

Do have a history of being able to deliver in this moment in this in the first round against the box
