    Heat in 5. Homecourt advantage will be key.

    homecourt means nothing for a team like Boston.

    remember, 3-8 against Boston/Chicago/Orlando

    b4 yall make excuses after the Lebron chokes once again... just remember they were never really that good to begin with. It's the people who ride the jock, and then backoff and say the rest of the teams sucks... that's what makes me mad

    Spo seems to change his rotations every week though (one of his primary weaknesses as a coach IMO), so you never know. Miller is a dangerous player if he ever gets going, and at the very least teams won't sag off him even if he is shooting like shyte.

    This is a really difficult series to call because both teams have been inconsistent, and although they both easily won their series, neither was as dominant as I expected. Statistically, the Heat are the better team (and in fact the best team in the NBA by most advanced metrics). Their 1-3 record vs. Boton is also deceptive since the one win was a blowout and the three losses were all close.

    The last game was a few games out of the playoffs, and was for the 2nd seed. Was close to a playoff game there was.

    Mike Miller has been injured during the 76ers finals, and should be up and running for the Celtics games. He has been injured all year, and wont be fully ready to play till he has surgery again.

    Home court means a lot, it's why teams fight for it. You hate so much, you make no sense, and need to chill out. Did Lebron molest you or something?

    All it took for me to become a Boston fan was a year of douchey comments from Bosh, DWade and especially LeBron. Who woulda thought. Go Celtics.

    Yeah, luckily KG has always been an upstanding citizen and class act on and off the court.

    I'm looking on youtube for the hour long ESPN special KG had to declare he wanted to be traded to Boston but I can't find it.

    Delonte West is going to be the difference maker of this series

    KG opted to sign an extension with the wolves instead of going into free agency looking for super friends like Lebron.

    Kevin Garnett if he went back in time, would of gone to Free Agency like Lebron did.


    Kevin Garnett to LeBron: Loyalty hurts you

    "Honestly, he's gonna have to make a decision on not just him, but his family and his future," Garnett said when asked in his postgame press conference what LeBron would have to deal with"

    "Loyalty is something that hurts you at times because you can't get youth back. I can honestly say that if I can go back and do my situation over, knowing what I know now with this organization, I'd of done it a little sooner.

    Does it matter, he didn't do it because he was loyal, even if he chose to go into free agency, he would have enough common sense and less selfishness to notify the team before hand instead of doing a one hour special on ESPN.

    He wasn't even on a contender team like Lebron Lebron, and he still stuck with his decision hoping he will take his team to the top. Bottom line is, he didn't betray the team that drafted and developed him. Of course he would've done differently knowing what had happened, but at the time there wasn't a doubt in his mind he was going to be loyal to his team. That's why Lebron will always go down in history as an ******* for this.

    Really?
    Loyalty is overrated and gets you no where in life.
    Everyone looks out for themselves in the real world, and most people would of did what Lebron did.
    Who wants to waste there prime on a bad team, when you play with your friends on a team that has a chance of winning for a long time.
