Disagree, they almost won game 1. Even if they don't win game two (which I think they will...) they should be able to take care of home court and get another shot at stealing the advantage in game 5.

I like Miami to win this series, still.

*shrugs*

I have a feeling Celts are going to win. I just feel overall they have more players to step up their game than the Heat.

First time that DWade gets to the rim I expect Perk to hit him, hard. Send him a message. To beat Miami you have to beat Wade, the rest normally follow suit. I'll be surprised if we dont see Tony play 35+ minutes either - he is THE guy to try and stop Wade, not Ray. I'd like to see him take the minutes left over behind Rondo, Ray and Pierce.

As for no KG - it's Sheldon time

If we don't win this game, it's all over. Win this one and the next two at home, and I think we should have the series.

If that happens, Wade's gonna end up w/ 100. He'll send the message back.

(see the crazy NY game last Feb 2009 for what im talking about)

I hope Spo plays Big Cat. Even if KG's out, we need his body and beef down the lane with Sheed, Baby, Shelden and Perk out there. Not to mention Big Cat is a true gangsta.

Agreed. I want more of Magloire. He would be the best guy to have down low both defensively and offensively for a series like this. You don't mind if he fouls out and throws hard fouls out there since you have another guy in Anthony who can do that, and then JO to come in and sweep up offensively. But his big body would really help out there. Hit KG, Perkins and Pierce when he drives.

I'm still confident that the Celtics can get it done without KG. Yes I'm aware of what wade can do especially in take over mode; however, if Tony Allen can slow him down 1-1 then I don't see the heat's role players doing so hot. IMO they seem too relient on Wade creating open/easy looks for them. So if TA does a solid job again 1-1 it allows the Celtics to stay a bit closer to the heat's role players and as great as Wade is I don't think he can beat a team by him self. Especially one that seems to have the heat's number a bit.

How in the hell is 1-1 two players hedging to close off Wade's driving space?

When a player is shooting that efficiently, particular a player like Wade who is a superstar and top 3 player in the league, you take more than 18 shots. Reason why he didn't? Boston's players stepped in the lanes and blocked it up. Who was the main player doing that all game? Garnett. It's going to be a lot easier for Wade to get around Big Baby rather than Garnett.

Its a lot easier to get over big baby than get around him.

I don't recall that happening much when they switched Allen on to him but it could be Wade was settling for jumpers a bit more.

Tony cant guard wade one on one but one thing he gives us is a guy who can mirror him on the perimeter until the help comes. Wade cant breeze past him like he can with PP and Rayray.

Michael Beasley shouldnt go off because I believe PP can hold him decently in check.

BFRESH44 · 04-19-2010, 11:42 AM

Must win.

MK2V1GP · 04-19-2010, 12:41 PM

Lol. That Derek Zoolander kid is a complete douche. He sends me some crazy PM going off on me how much his life sucks and how, if he could, he'd suck Ginobili's balls after his "block" on KG three weeks ago, then I try and PM him back, and he's disallowed anyone to send him PMs. What a sad, sad little kid.

MK2V1GP · 04-19-2010, 01:28 PM

Anyone know for sure who will start in place of KG? Will it be Sheed or Big Baby? During the season, it was always sheed. But Big Baby was big in game 1. So who knows.
