Stephen A. Smith Says Pressure Shifts To Miami Heat If They Loss Game 5 Tonight Against Boston Celtics

Stephen A. Smith stopped short of saying Game 5 is a must-win for the Miami Heat against Boston Celtics

Apparently, a 3-0 lead was never safe for the Miami Heat. 

Many analysts have said the Boston Celtics now have all the momentum despite trailing 3-1 in the best-of-7 series. The Heat are underdogs for tonight's Game 5 in Boston. 

So media personality Stephen A. Smith stopped just short of saying this is a must-win for the Heat. If not, the Celtics are in control of the series. 

Boston is clearly a better team because they got better talent," Smith said on his YouTube show. "But the Heat ain't no joke and now that they've won this game, they've got a chance. They win Game 5 in Boston Thursday night, Miami, all the pressure shifts to them for Game 6. If Boston wins Game 5, if you're Miami and you don't win Game 6, you've got to look forward to going back to Boston for a Game 7. If that happens, oh, my Lord, you don't want to be in that position."
