This is it!!! This is the Eastern Conference series we've all been waiting for. The Heat's Championship hopes go thru Boston. The only way they can take the crown is proving they are better than the defending Eastern Conference Champs. This series is hard to predict. Boston has owned the Heat, Bron, & Wade separately for the past few years. But the Heat are coming off a HUGE win over them late in the season and all say they have had this one marked on the calendar for quite some time. My gut tells me Celts are too strong and too clutch for the Heat. But I am gonna take the Heat in 7 games to get past the C's. I will say, to beat the Celtics, the Heat WILL HAVE TO win a game in Boston to get by them. Cant wait to watch this one go down.

Ok I am changing my opinion. Going into the playoffs I had Miami going to the NBA Finals but I have switched to Boston in 7.

Just watching the Heat, they look to lack motivation and urgency. Maybe they will turn it on vs. Boston but I am sticking with the C's. Celtics basically have a advantage at every position with washes at SG and SF.

Rondo will be a huge factor in this series because of who they'll put on him. Put Wade on him than Allen will beat you or the same with LeBron, than Pierce will. Man I want the Heat in the finals for excitement alone but it will be tough I am sticking with Heat in 7. Will be a physical series without question will be interesting to see how Bosh shows up to play.

I watched some of the game last night, Heat vs. Sixers... man I was disappointed. It was everything I hate about the NBA... and I really like LeBron and DWade, but it's SO BORING.

That's not basketball, it's stand around and watch someone shoot, then grab the rebound. I doubt I'll watch much more...

I'm still backing the Heat. Heat in 5.

Celtics were really impressive vs the Knicks, but I think that was more about the Knicks missing Amare/Billups and their lack of chemistry then it was about the Celtics.

Could easily see this going 7, but if Miami takes the first two games, pretty decisively, they should roll.

I'm not judging here, but dude you were watching the Heat and SIXERS. What did you expect?

Tune into Heat and Celtics for what is going to be a battle.

Heat in seven.

Heat go up 1-0. 38 points for Wade today, 25 for James Jones off the bench, and 22 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals for King. Boston looks scared and naturally resorted to the "dirty" stuff when it was clear they're too old. Heat looked like the much better team today.

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
