Boston Celtics


Recommended Posts

"I've had a chance to [review] it, and it was one of my better ones," James said. "The fact that it happened to J.T. made it that much sweeter. Because we all know J.T. and he talks too much sometimes. And I'm glad it happened to him."

hindi pa rin matapos-tapos ang trash talking laugh.gif ... mainit talaga si LBJ ito kaya ang rason?

 

 

Last week, Terry said he wasn't impressed with the Heat's then-21-game winning streak, which has now reached 23 games.

I agree with some analysts that the Celtics are the biggest thread to the Heat in the playoffs. James now knows that if Pierce and Green are on the floor together, he'd have to guard either of them and he'll have to work on offense as well as defense. Wade seems to have a hard time against the Cs. In the games against the Heat when Bradley was there, Wade scored, 17 and 16, respectively, below his 21 ppg average for the season, including a horrendous 6-20 shooting night when the Cs beat the Heat in overtime last January. The bench has to step up in order for the Heat to beat the Cs. Chalmers stepped up in the recent victory against the Cs. James may be the best player in the NBA right now but he couldn't do it alone.

 

If ever this series pushes through this season, it will be another barn burner of a series.

 

i think i'll have to add indiana to the threats to miami's back-to-back championship aspirations. a heat-celtics or heat-pacers series will most likely go the full route.

Or another way to look at it is just to allow either PP or Green to score all they want and limit the rest ...this way LBJ can conserve his energy on D until maybe the the later part of the game when it mattered most.

 

Also if ever it happens, will Ray Allen be a factor in this series against his former team?

 

 

 

I definitely wanna see a Celtics Heat 1st round match-up. Win or go FISHING

based on the current standings, a Pacer -Celtics series is most likely to happen before either a heat-pacer or a heat - celtics series.

 

I would think the C's would prefer to meet the Pacers than the Heat early on.

The Pacers have a distinct advantage in height in the center and power forward positions. Most probably, James will be guarding David West and Bosh will be guarding Hibbert so the Heat would have a difficult time in the paint with the both of them, not to mention West's steady mid-range game, but the advantage in height of the Pacer front line could well be negated by the Miami back court of Chalmers and Wade who, I think, are better than the starting Indiana combo of Stephenson and Hill. The Pacer bench is currently outscoring the Heat bench by 4 points per game. In my opinion, this is an indication that the Heat are heavily dependent on James and Wade. James has been playing superb basketball in the Heat's current 23-game tear but he has to pace himself for an expected deep playoff run by the Heat. So yes, aside from the Celtics, it's the Pacers which could give them a real challenge.

 

absolutely...james and company should start pacing themselves especially now that the playoffs is just around the corner. is it really worth it going after the record of 33 consecutive wins?

 

parang di OT when will garnett return to action?

Garnett already did in their sorry loss to the Hornets. It's not really bad to equal or surpass the 33 wins of the 1971-72 Lakers but it may take its toll on the Heat come playoff time since you will have to play at optimum level in order to achieve that mark and, in effect, it will take its toll on the players' bodies. Case in point was the game against the Cavs. Rallying from 27 points down is impressive but, at the same time, you expend a lot of energy. Spoelstra should think of resting his main guys in some games in order to save their energy for the playoffs.

 

that's what i was thinking. expending too much will certainly take its toll on the big guns of miami come playoff time.

 

ok...so garnett's injury wasn't really that serious to sideline him for many games.

The Celtics has always been a great team. It's just that maybe, just maybe, this conference is not destined to be theirs because some other teams down South and somewhere eastward have emerged even much stronger than them.

sana magplayoffs na. heat vs celtics sa round 1.

the celtics with the deepest benchrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif, elite shot blocking big man- mabababad laro nito sa playoff, supalpal kung supalpal. si kg manunumbalik ang laro, depensa opensa, si paul pierce rin, si terry magpapaulan ng tres, si lee, depensa at opensa rin magpapakitang gilas, si green- puro career highs gagawin nito, si bradley- mas mahusay ang ipapakita nito kesa kay ray allen.

 

sa part ng heat- ewan ko langrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gifrolleyes.gif
