Celtics (2-4) at Heat (4-2) Game #7 11/9

[blink]

I predict a close game.  I also predict that the heat aren't going to like playing against our young over-achievers any more than they did our grizzled vets the last couple of years.

I hope.  El Hombre muscles some on the Heat inside.

We should pound the ball inside .....every trip down court .....inside

Sully. , KO, Hump and Fav ........make em defend us in the paint ...foul out Bosh

This.  I think the C's have a muscle advantage down low with Fav, Sully, Bass. No question Bosh in the most talented front court guy on either team but he will have to come our to guard KO on the perimeter which will open up the middle even more.

I think the C's hand around a while.

There is no logical reason to think the Celtics will win this game.

With that in mind ......I'll predict an epic upset

I'm thinking Sully drops 20+ pts and 10+rebs

Olynyk is starting instead of Faverani tonight at center.

Olynyk is starting instead of Faverani tonight at center.

Not sure if I like the move, particularly since it makes us softer in the middle against Miami penetration and dimishes our rebounding power...

On the other hand, Wallace-Sully-Faverani off the bench could really be a rebounding-defensive force off the bench.

So we'll see.

i miss the days, when i looked forward to big games, and pierce-lebron duel, but now, it's just another game that i would be happy and surprised if we won

Don't jump on my bandwagon! I called this upset before we played the Jazz.

We may get blown out but I think we match up well with Mia (lol in theory). If we could actually hit shots we do.

I'm not scared of Craw being on Chalmers (he has been okay on d since coming here). Pressey is a crafty/pesky defender who is underrated, he should be fine on him too.

AB/Lee on Wade

Green/Wallace/Bass on Lebroid

I don't watch them, who is their starting 4? Haslem? BASS, KO and Sully should be fine.


Vitor/Sully/KO on Bosh isn't that scary, Bosh is soft so if Vitor can wear him down early we will be fine.


Okay, we match up well defensively, I'm worried about our offense... if RR was back I wouldn't be. If we don't find a way to score we will be blown out.


Still, we win b/c Mia won't take us seriously and we are scrappy LOL!

[BudweiserCeltic]

Tonight's prediction, we pass Brooklyn on the standings.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

okay....3 fouls asap on anyone who is guarding LeBron and wade....the refs like to set the tone......LeBron and wade......bah...no fouls....drop that shoulder and drive LeBron...

[Meadowlark_Scal]

olynik can be hard for bosh to cover...not many centers want to cover a shooter.....then he can drive too...we need Humphries, fav...to be in there getting rebounds....go physical at Miami....

[timobusa]

abby chin looking fiiiiineee

[Meadowlark_Scal]

how can you call spolestra a GREAT coach...when he has had a GREAT team.....and when he didn't have a great team..he did nothing....wait till LeBron gets hurt....

[BudweiserCeltic]

Love Wade trying to rile up the non-existent crowd to start the game.
