Comparing Miami and Boston

[SilkkTheShocker]

So let me get this straight. The Celtics were six minutes away from the NBA Finals, they get better in the off season, and now they have no chance?

correct

[ProfessorMurder]

The only true advantage the Heat have is LeBron. Pierce can't keep up with him like 3-4-5 years ago.

The Celtics seem to be assembling a Spursesque team, while the Heat still have 3 stars + role players.

It seems pretty even to me.

Bosh out for 4 games.

Wade not healthy.

That's two very important players on the team.

Bosh missing the first 5 games of the series (played very little in game 5 and missed the entire 2nd half) and Wade playing on one leg... and the C's STILL couldn't get it done

As soon as Bosh came back Garnett couldn't camp under the basket protecting the paint.. he actually had to do something and move to cover ground. This totally destroyed Boston's game plan , changed the entire complexion of the matchup, and the Celtics were toast.

Boston got blown out by 20 on their home court.. and you may think "6 minutes" but it wasn't close. That game is on youtube. It was a total deestruction of the Celtics in the 4th.. that "6 minutes" the Heat were up by double digits . Whenever things actually mattered and the Heat turned it on defensively the Celtics looked like slow hopeless old ladies out there

the celtics have ZERO chance at hanging with the Heat.

The same Spurs that got backdoor swept by the team Miami destroyed in the Finals? Ok, got it.

How is the Hat's SGs not an advantage?

Ray wasn't healthy.

Both Jeff Green and Avery Bradley were out and I don't need to tell you what he was suppose to do. I ain't sayin Celtics would win but to suggest that this wouldn't be a competitive series even after a seven game series in the conference finals is just fooling oneself. If Boston hadn't completely laid an egg in Game 6 we wouldn't be having this conversation. Not like this anyway.

Pierce is gonna be 35 instead of 32

KG will be 37 if the celtics go deep in the playoffs

the guy named Wade isnt bad.

Now Ray Allen is a role players since he's on the Heat?

YUP! sounds even to me!

ISH logic at its finest.

[Hank]

lol yeah lebron is the "only" advantage.

that's why when Bosh came back the celtics got their as$es totally kicked losing by ""DOUBLE-DIGITS"" in each of game 6 and game 7. And hell, Bosh was playing at just 70% and Wade was playing on one leg,,, but it didn't matter. The Celtics didn't just lose but got totally creamed. Losing at home in a playoff game by 20 points and losing by 25+ points in the 4th QTR on your home floor is getting creamed. Losing 28-15 in 4th QTR points in a game 7 , almost 2 to 1 ratio is indeed, getting creamed.

boston fans are too funny

It doesn't matter WHO the celtics throw on the court with that roster. Against a healthy Heat the Celtics get totally walloped in a series. If not a sweep then 5 games at most. Period

[red1]

Celtics-Heat was the best series this year, should be even more interesting next year

[AMISTILLILL]

Miami fans who think this Boston team isn't that big of a deal are just being ignorant. It's okay to admit that other teams are formidable or good.

LeBron isn't going to show up at your house and issue you a demerit, you fraggles.

[JohnnySic]

^They are showing up in every Boston thread because they know that the C's are in fact a big deal.

[SilkkTheShocker]

0-2.

At least after Boston loses to Miami again they blame old age and injures again
