Tonight the Boston Celtics play the Miami Heat in what should be an epic battle. This will be a duel between Paul Pierce and Dwayne Wade which should have us on the edge of our seats. I'm anticipating this to be a flashback of game 7, Eastern Conference Finals, when Mr. Larry Bird scored 20 points in the 4th to outdo Dominique Wilkins and take the Cs to the finals -- after which all of Boston erupted!
With Miami looking like a 5 seed, the Celts need to show them who's the boss now, before we meet them in the playoffs. Last night's loss hurt, but as my boy, M.I.T., says, "It doesn't matter. We are not healthy, and we need to rest up!" Either way, wins are big right now, and the more home games in the playoffs the better because they have us right there rooting for them like no other city in the world can do!!!!
Back to tonight's game: Wade has been on fire, and the Celtics have lost the last 6 out of 10, and the Heat have won 6 out of 10, so they have momentum. Being at home again will make a big difference especially because they were in a fake Boston last night with everyone wearing green (including the Chicago Bulls, get your own color!). Back home they will feel the love and energy and that could be the changing factor. The Celtics are favored to win. I like the Celtics as always even as beat up as the are, but do not think they will cover, think its coming down to the last shot..... Come on Pierce!!! O/U should be over since we have no defense right now so it should be a high scoring affair. If its not tonight with only 14 games remaining, we just need to get into that shamrock grove and walk into the playoffs on fire. Hopefully that begins tonight.
