Heat in 6. These OT games have got to catch up with the C's old legs at some point I would think. Plus I don't see them shooting that well again. If Bosh comes back it helps tremendously as well.
I dont much now, I love to watch the Mavs, the spurs, any of Don Nelson's team because they play team ball and pass the ball great, I thought the celts played well a couple years ago on their way to the title and pierce was really on top of his game.
I guess I was spoiled in the 60's, the 70's with JJ and Freddie Brown in Seattle, Bird and Magic in the 80's and the Bulls in the 90's.
I will watch some of the finals. I would love to see the celtics against either west team or either west team beat the heat.
Don Nelson teams also play no defense and have never won anything. I understand what you're saying about moving the ball and I agree with you. That being said, there is a reason Nelson never won a ring.

Im getting more and more confident in the Celtics chances. They have been the better team in 3 of the 4 games. Allen is shooting the ball better than he has in weeks and Pierce's knee isnt bothering him as much it seems.
What would I know though, as I am completely ignorant when it comes to the game of basketball.
I think this series is over in 6 just not sure now if it's going to be Boston or Miami winning. The way Wade has been playing this series and Ray Allen finding his jump shot makes this a pretty even series. There is no excuse for Wade not to be averaging 30 points a game in this series. Boston actually has more guys who can guard LeBron than they do Wade yet it's Lebron doing all the work.
Couldn't agree more. Outside of the 3 game stretch vs. Indy Wade has been quite disappointing. Not nearly aggressive enough.
This is true, it is like you cant put together a squad of players who can play good team basketball and yet really play deefense.

What Travis said, I was on the Heat bandwagon as well.

Obviously, you have not been paying attention in the last 5 years, ever since the NBA implemented defensive rule changes there is lot less of iso basketball and lot more ball movement. The dude with the big rear end backing people down on the block are almost gone. Guys like Iverson who carried the basketball on a crossover they call that now.
The Spurs and OKC(Westbrook?) have great ball movement. When the Heat have played well in this years playoffs the 2-man game that Wade and Lebron have played is just beautiful to watch. Your the guy that says that they don't play D in the NBA, they are all thugs, etc.......the same ole tired crap that they have been saying the last 30 years.

I know, right? I mean Travisam obviously has no idea what hes talking about when it comes to the NBA.
lol yeah I'm clueless. I was clearly wrong about the C's winning the last 2 games. I'll take being wrong over having opinions based on emotions of a butt hurt 14 year old like you.

Dude, its a joke. Just giving you a hard time because you were so adamant about how wrong my prediction was going to be.

I love how Boston is continuously running double teams at Wade on pick and rolls. Interested to see if they continue to do that if/when Bosh returns.

Interesting note- Since the Big 3 has been together in Boston, they have never lost a Game 5 in a playoff series that is tied 2-2. (8-0)
2012 NBA playoffs -- Boston Celtics historically have fared well in Game 5 - ESPN Boston

Not exactly. They've never lost a game 5 with the series tied 2-2. Your point still holds though.
What is your prediction for tonight?
