    Whoever wins this round will easily go past the Bulls or the Hawks.
    It's what people are saying, win this round, and earn a trip to the finals.

    It's about keeping the chemistry for the 2nd unit going. They are playing very well, and you don't want to start changing things around when you winning games.
    Out of the last 20 Heat games they have only lost 3 games.

    the game was never close. the celts never got closer than 7 and then the heat always shut the doors close.

    the heat sleepwalked the entire game the moment pierce got ejected.

    both teams can improve, but lebron didn't even have his B game that night.

    It's hilarious watching an old ass Ray Allen trying to guard D. Wade. The heat have in my opinion 2 of the top 3 players in the league and you haters are saying that stern is the reason why they are winning? Come on man. Get real.

    I stand by my prediction. Miami in 5. Home court is critical in this series and the fact that Boston's front line are soft doesn't help.

    how can you say it was never close and then say they were only within seven when pierce got ejected. that is enough time for them to go on and win the game. No matter how bad the celtics played they still had a chance until pp got ejected

    they were down 13 when pierce got ejected. their mini-run involved allen hitting 2 quick 3's. so unless pierce was going to get 4 point plays i'm not sure how much better he would have made things.


    and i'm not sure i've ever seen someone goaltend a 3 point shot. not sure what bosh's strategy was there.

    I have Boston over Miami in less than 6. With money attached.

    As you can probably guess Game 1 made me a bit sad.

    I hope you got 1000 to 1 odds. That wasn't a smart bet.

    if boston is forcing it into KG, boston is not going to win this series. KG will not dominate offensively regardless of how many shots he takes

    I feel sorry for Green, he's playing like crap and Celtics fans are giving him hell.

    I am afraid Boston has no chance with this series when Bibby is taking Rondo back to school and Garnett is doing nothing on the block.

    The difference is Miami has their stars at full speed in their PRIMES and Boston's too old.

    lebron cannot make a jumper so far in the playoffs. he was just killing it for the last 2 months of the regular season but almost nothing through 6.25 games so far in the postseason.

    jeff green without about 8 more points that you would expect him to have in the 1st quarter kept the heat from getting a lead.

    rondo can only score on the break. i didn't know rondo is so bad 1-on-1 b/c miami isn't even looking to help when it's in the halfcourt set.

    as long as miami runs back on their missed 3s, rondo will not be an offensive factor.
