    First and foremost I am a Celts fan to death!

    Reason why I think they'll win tonight:
    -Experience
    -On court leadership
    -strong bench
    -Rondo has really been stepping up as an emerging leader, role player, play maker, clutch player....basically everything

    I'm a Laker fan thru and thru....die hard, pains me to say it buuuut I'm pulling for the Celtics over the Heat....ok ok I said it.
    Under .500 at the all star break and now on the verge of going to the finals, that's just awesome!


    Although I can't help but wonder what if D. Rose and Noah didn't get hurt.

    My team got eliminated. I am not a fan of either of the teams that are playing, but I'm an NBA fan. I hope the Celtics go, and I hope OKC wins it. Miami is nothing but floppers and egos (OKC has Harden as the biggest flop of all). I'm not saying they're not great, because we have seen them do great things. I just don't have a tolerance for someone dubbed "King" James when he hasn't won the big one. I think the only people who want Miami to win are those who hate the Celtics, and those that live in Miami.

    Rondo is definitely killing it! I always root for the underdogs...and not a big james, wade, bosh fan.

    bosh doesn't even have a chin! has anyone else noticed that? lol

    They are struggling because the Celtics play better as a team. The Heat have no answer for Rondo, and KG has been a monster this series(the entire playoffs actually). I really thought we were too banged up going into this series, I knew they had a chance, but not a big one. They proved me wrong and I couldn't be happier.

    Boston will win and shock the world.

    Agree with this!!! And, it would be nice to win another championship, but the bigger satisfaction is really just preventing the Heat from winning one. Really don't like them - they think they're "all that" !! :smile:

    Go Celtics!!!!

    Nice, thanks!! Not sure I could pull for the Lakers if the situation was reversed though. I guess it's all about who you hate less!

    I can't stand the Heat because of LeFraud and I'm from and live in Miami :laugh:

    They're relying too much on the same people. They have no rhythm. And Bosh, in my opinion is like the invincible man. People like Bass just seem to get past him. It's the Miami attitude that I don't like. The "it's cool because I'll wipe my tears with all the money I'm making and hit up LIV on the way out" attitude. They don't want it as much as the Celtics do.

    Miami is going to probably lose. Lebron is going to go in there with the mentality that he has to take over, and his team will know it, so they won't show up. Celtics or the Heat, I don't really care. I simply just didn't want the Spurs in the finals.

    I am glad the Spurs not in the finals either..

    OR the FAKERS I mean Lakers

    Not a chance. Whoever wins the celtics/heat matchup is gonna be the champ. Boston is just playing a lot better together. Miami doesn't have the heart to get it done........

    Will the Heat win tonight? Why do you think they are struggling....

    Bosh not playing enough minutes?
    Role Players Suck?
    Bad Coaching?
    D Wade not showing up in First Half?
    LeBron's fault?
    Lack of Leadership?


    I personally think these all played a role in Miami sucking....but D Wade's First Half play really makes me want to eat over my calories....


    oh....Congrats to Thunder!

    LMAO! PLEASE don't eat over ur calories! lol

    I think you hit the nail on the head on just about everything. I was very confused as to why Bosh didn't play anymore than he did with putting up the number he did in the limited time he was in (9pts 6reb in 14 min I think). Miami's role players HAVE to contribute more if they even want to think about winning this series, let alone a championship. If they don't, they are no better than the teams Lebron had in Cleveland. Wade has to show up in the 1st half and not go 2 for 12, granted he's found his stride in the second half, but they need more from him. If Lebron is the best basketball in the NBA right now like a lot of people say he has to take more than 4 shots in the last 8 min of the game. He should be taking a majority of the shots down the stretch and not disappearing like he has been, I honestly wasn't sure he was even on the court the last 4 or 5 min of the game until Pierce hit that 3 over him.

    I don't care why the Heat are sucking... I just hope they continue to do so! Go Celtics!

    (also... I like to do knuckle push-ups with KG whenever I get a chance) :-)

    I'm a Jesus Shuttlesworth fan so I'm definitely pulling for the C's but you can see the plays are totally broken for Miami. It's almost as if it's a one man or two man show and everybody else clear out. Can't win games that way, plus there is a serious disconnect from the players and coach Spo. Doc is the ultimate coach and draws the perfect plays for the perfect time. The C's are resilent while the Heat are well crybabies. I have confidence the series will close tonight.

    The Thunder is taking care of business. I hate the Heat. I hate LeBron. He sold his team out (Cleveland) to join a team where there was already a superstar. He is just a supporting cast player in Miami. Wade handled business without Lebron before and will again once they boo Lebron's *kitten* out of Miami for failing to deliver a championship as he swore he would. The Heat are not a team, they have the "every man for himself" mentality. You can clearly see that when they return to the bench and nobody high 5's or anything. The Celtics work together as a team. They win as a team and they lose as a team. Nobody is to blame unlike The Heat. It's always somebody else's fault. Suck it up Lebron and stop crying all the time. I wonder if he wears a diaper on the court.

    As for the Celtics. Ray is finally getting his lift back so if he drop the 3 shot, they got this along with Rondo killin' it! As much as I love the Celtic, they probably don't stand a chance against the Thunder. Those boys are in it to win it and that's what matters in the playoffs. Scotty is coaching well and the players are responding. Winning!

    I'm goinq with Boston tonight, there playing much better team basketball, Rondo is killin it! Garnett looking good too. The Heat just don't seem to have the fire(pardon the pun). For the Heat to win they will have to bring more intensity! The big 3 have to work as a unit not just 2 individuals Wade or Lebron.

    You are soooo WRONG! LOL He has been a factor in this series so stop it! I have respect for the vets and especially him. This is really the first time in his career that he has battled injuries so to see him even be able to make key shots here and there is great. Haven't you heard - He Got Game! LOL
