Hoping the Celtics will pull out with this win, if not they're in trouble of a sweep.

 

I doubt this series ends up a sweep, but if we win game 2, I can see it ending in 5. Gotta come out strong tomorrow.

Shaq does not scare me at all....he looks like a giant teddy bear sitting on the bench. Sure he will make Joel Anthony look like a little kid, but he isn't going to make that big of a difference.

Are you serious? Shaq's presence alone will make a huge difference. For one, Bosh will probably never take it at him, I know he hardly does now, but with Shaq there he never will. And for two, Wade and LBJ will be thinking about him when they take it to the hole, not because he will block it (he could though) but because Shaq won't hesitate to put either of them on their asses.

 

KG is a good man defender at the 4, and JO is a good weakside shot blocker, but they don't have the same presence that a guy like Shaq does in the middle.

Shaq is nothing like he used to be. Just because he is a big dude doesn't make him the difference between being a good team and being great. I know he will have some impact, but he is too old to play for that long, he hasn't played in a while, and he is a liability on the fast break because we will out run him all night. I also doubt Wade and LBJ are too concerned about falling on their asses, they do it all the time.

 

Whats the deal with Haslem though....I have no idea what to expect from him if he returns.

Good quarter to have the lead while Boston played their best quarter of the series right there. If they are going to rely on Jeff Green for offense, I can live with that. Great quarter from Wade and Bibby but LBJ looks like he's ready to go tonight. Those were 3 terrific finishes at the rim. He looks aggressive today which is big for us.

 

 

Oh, and Joel Anthony making things happen yet again. MVP!

I just have to say this though...Paul Pierce is back in the locker room again and he is going to come out in like 5 minutes as if nothing ever happened to him.

 

And if Joel Anthony could catch, that would have been a sick alley oop that would have made the crowd go wild.

Except that he was already in the locker froom for like 30 minutes.

Neither team shooting the ball well here. The Heat look like shit offensively yet we're only behind 2. Good timeout by Spo there. Let's go on a little run here to close out the half.

Man, Miami's defense is so well-coordinated. There are no breakdowns, and they communicate so well. All of Boston's first and second options have been taken away and they're reduced to jump shots and offensive fouls. And Anthony is everywhere in the paint.
