Eastern Conference Finals - Heat vs Celtics

Celtic needed 7 with homecourt to handle Sixers, so I don't see them winning here. But they should give a better fight than the Pacers, soooo

 

I hate the dbags but no way they don't dismantle the celtics, probably in a sweep.

 

Ray Allen's bone spurs aren't expected to improve and Avery Bradley is out for the rest of the playoffs.

 

I would love to see the C's win this, but I just don't see it happening. Boston isn't healthy. They will play their hearts out but it probably wont be enough. I say Miami in 5. :/

 

I want the Celtics to win, but I just saw them barely beat the Sixers in 7 games.... If they still had Bradley to guard Wade I would say there is a chance. The Heat, Wade and Lebron, are just too athletic for them.

 

Like the Mavs with Dirk, Kidd, Marion, Butler, Peja, Terry were "too athletic" for Miami last year, when they had a healthy Bosh?

 

Dallas had way more firepower than the Celtics. I doubt the Celtics can crack 100 points. Plus Lebron has always done worst when a team has a legit defensive big, and the Mavs had Chandler. Look how Celtics always could beat him until they traded Perkins.

KG has been playing great, but he will have to play like an MVP again to get it done.

 

And this year Ray Allen is injured, they have no Shaq (or any other legit starting center), and their bench is probably even worse.

 

Did you just compare last year's Mavs to this year's Celtics? Oh lord.

 

If Boston was healthy it would be interesting. Weird that Avery Bradley and Ray Ray are the ones that are too hurt.

I still think the Celtics will play them close.

Rondo will have to have an amazing series.

 

I can see Rondo going off in game 1, and the Celts possibly stealing it. Then the Heat will just put Lebron on him and win the next 4.

 

Without Avery Bradley the Celtics are in trouble Vs the Heat

 

Not at all, you assumed that. Just said that athleticsm is kinda overrated in playoff match-ups.

 

they also went through 2(or 3?) game 7's during their title run in 08

 

Why does everyone want to see the Heat lose?

I would much rather see the Celtics lose and see a Finals that between the Spurs vs Heat rather than the C's.

Spurs vs. Cs would be boring

 

To me I actually wanna see the spurs and celtics because it would be good to see rondo and parker go against each other

 

I think those are the only two options

 

I will be optimistic and say that the Celtics win in 6.

I have no problem admitting that I am a major Heat "hater".

I think that the Celtics age and experience, much like the MaverDicks last year, will give the heat problems. KG will get 22 ppg, Rondo will avg 14 ppg, 12 ast, 8 rebs.

 

What will putting Lebron on Rondo accomplish? Rondo doesn't look to score any ways and if you put Lebron on him that means you have who guarding Pierce?

Celtics are a bad matchup for these guys and they are also going to be motivated and unlike the Pacers are mentally ready for this.

If they can keep games close they are going to be a problem

 

You and I see eye-to-eye on everything. lol. The Celtics are like Lebron's kyrptonite. The Heat's weaknesses were shown last year. A good experienced team, will beat 2 players. This year the Pacers showed it for 3 games before breaking down and dismantling. The Celtics will show it again. If Rondo plays well, look for Boston in 7.
