Will there be more controversial calls like the one’s that affected the outcome of Game 6? Miami’s Jimmy Butler is already calling his shot, saying “We’re gonna go in there and we’re gonna win” when he was asked about his team’s chances of upsetting Boston on their home floor tonight. If the Heat can’t pull it off, losing the series after going up 3-0 would be a historic collapse. So, who are the experts picking?
