The narrative around the Eastern Conference Finals with the Miami Heat and Boston Celtics has changed recently.
Just a few days ago, people were writing obituaries for the Celtics, who were down 0-3 to the Heat.
After a crucial win in Game 4, people now believe that Boston has the momentum and could score more wins in this series and perhaps even reach the Finals.
“I believe that tonight will once again be the Celtics’ night. I believe they will flex tonight at home,” Skip Bayless said on Thursday’s Undisputed.

Bayless still believes that the Heat will win this series and move on to the Finals but he thinks Boston will secure a massive victory on Thursday night.
Despite holding a 4-5 record at home in the playoffs the Celtics definitely have a good chance of winning in Game 5.
They seem to have a lot more wind in their sails after their big win over the Heat in Game 4.
If they can win on Thursday night, they will be down 3-2 and within reach of evening the series.
Of course, if they do that then the final game will be held in Boston again.
They were able to overcome the Philadelphia 76ers in their last Game 7 at home so there is a chance they could do it again against the Heat.
It would be a historic accomplishment – one that people didn’t expect only days ago.
Bayless predicts that the Celtics are going to swing for the fences and find great success on Thursday night but he still thinks they won’t win the series.
They are looking to prove him right on the first prediction but prove him wrong on the second.
