2008 Celtics vs. 2012/13 Heat

[eliteballer]

Who wins in a 7 game series? Whichever version of the Heat you think is best.

[Shade8780]

An older, much more hurt 2012 Celtics with a terrible bench brought the Heat to seven games. Enough said.

Those guys were LeBrons biggest nightmare, in 08 with all of them in their last legs of prime they would smash on the Heat. Lebron hates physical play and the Celtics mastered it in one season.

Celtics in 6.

The 08 Celtics murder the 2013 Heat...ROFL...it's a 5 game series.

Not sure about the 12 Heat vs 08 Celtics...could see that going either way.

An older, much more hurt 2012 Celtics brought the Heat to seven games. Enough said.

And the 2008 Celtics went 7 games with the 37 win Hawks, and the 45 win Cleveland Cavaliers who were a one man team.

I'm digging all this Paul Pierce/Celtics love lately. Lol.

[Milbuck]

The Celtics would stomp them.

[PJR]

The 2008 Celtics didn't beat a single team in 5 games during their 2008 Postseason run.

That includes the 37 win Atlanta Hawks.

As a matter of fact, it took them the most games in playoff history to the win championship(27).

Yet they would curb stomp the LeBron/Wade/Bosh Heat in 5 games.

C's in 6 at worst. Just look at the teams that took them to 7.

[Shade8780]

Yeah but with a peak Rondo. Putting up Oscar Robertson stats.

Prime KG, Pierce and Ray along with a great bench > Prime Rondo, an old injured Ray, Pierce and KG with a terrible bench

^^ this guy knows.

[Shade8780]

Wait. Plotwist, who gets home court? The C's always lacked intensity on the road. And they had the same record.

Well the average win% between the 2012 and 2013 Heat was .751 and the win% of the 2008 Celtics was .805, so the Celtics have HCA making it even more favourable to the Cs.

[LeGOAT]

Celtics. Everything fell into place for them that season. Wade was too injured last post season and Bosh was very mediocre. 2012 Heat would have a better chance with a healthier Wade but then Bosh was injured

You say Wade/Bosh like they are even relevant concerning the 13 Heat. It's a nightmare matchup for the Heat. Bosh has to go against a player at his position that is going to rape him. Wade wouldn't be able to do shit against the 08 Celtics...and then they could throw a ton of shit at Lebron...who already could't make a jumper to save his life in the first 5.75 games against the Spurs. And the Celtics have a player in Paul Pierce at Lebron's position to challenge him and make him defend. Rondo would give Chalmers a ton of issues...and they have Posey to come in and hound Lebron or Wade as well.

It's not even remotely close and isn't worth talking about considering the state of Wade and Bosh in the 13 playoffs.
