    The Heat can feel confident all they want but they haven't really done anything but win at home. If Boston win the next game which I think they game this thing is far from being over with.

    I dont think KG will have another game like that but with soft Bosh playing him who knows. PP I think can have another big game, but we will see.

    I agree that KG won't have another game like that, but he wasn't really that hot. He hit everything because 90% of his shots came against single coverage within two feet of the rim.

    KG was ON FIRE. and this was pierce's first game where he has outplayed lebron in the past 12-13 times that they have met. they're good players so they'll get one of these games.

    but the reason the heat lost (and have played with fire all playoffs) is that pathetic starting lineup w/ Z. if spo can change that, i don't see how the heat will always start out the 1st and 3r with huge deficits. you can comeback at home, but on the road vs a good team like boston, it isn't going to work.

    i expect this to end in 5 b/c i don't see spo rolling out Z for 4-5 minutes per half anymore. that basically gives the celtics an 8-0 run everytime.


    and that's been every team's defense on him this entire season. they were pumped b/c it was a home game. and their legs were probably more fresh. but he's not going to score like that again vs the same defense.


    fitting that it was a female reporter. classic.

    There's no embed code for this. There's about 10 seconds of silence after Chris is finished speaking before he gets asked a single, solitary question.

    You expect this series to end in 5, but it won't. The Celtics still have something left to make this a whole new series. You expect Spo to not roll out Z, but he'll probably still do it.

    after last night's press conference, Z won't play again. that basically gives the series to the heat.

    I predicted Heat in 6 and still going with it. They must prove that they can win in Boston if they want to be champs.

    The question is how long can Rondo hoop with one arm?

    the starting lineup will be re-evaluated.

    before tonight, all he said was, "we have to make it work" in regards to the starting lineup.

    i don't expect Z to play another minute in this series, and possibly bibby too. bibby could still start b/c Z is more of the weakness.

    wuss answer. he played like a chump. you're a max contract player and crowd noise is a problem? lebron and wade gotta slap him if he played the first quarter like that again.

    I appreciate the candor, but he shouldn't have said that.

    Heat will take it in 5 and the old guard (Spurs, Lakers, Celtics) will officially be dead.
