5 Reasons why I think the Celtics will lose in 5.

[Feeltheheat]

Reason 1. I don't think Boston can exploit miami's lack of size the
Way Indy could. Love KG, but his whole Career we all wished he would play down low more. And Brandon Bass with his back to the basket is a rare sighting. But he's no where near as effective as KG down low.

Reason 2. There is one days rest in between games, which clearly favors the heat. No explanation needed here.

Reason 3. Paul Pierce won't have a good series. Seems like he is still a bit gimpy and lebron previously held Melo in the 30th percentile in a series. Pierce is a hof but with all do respect Melo is a tougher cover today. I mean the only shots I remember Pierce hitting we're the wide open 3s where lebron fell asleep on defense. ( not to mention he has the task of guarding the best player in the world)

Reason 4. I watch the C's struggle against a younger athletic Philly team. Miami plays a lot like Philly but Iggy < Lebron and Holiday < Wade.

Reason 5. I have too much respect for the heart of a champion to predict a sweep. I think Boston wins game 3 realizing their season is on the line, but Miami wins  games 4 and 5.

This is just a fan's opinion, feel free to disagree or voice your opinion I love to talk bball. Go heat!

10 reasons they won't lose in 5:

1) Better home team than road team: 2-5 on the road, 6-1 at home in the playoffs

2) KG

3) No more uncontested field-day layups bonanza

4) Pierce will play better

5) Rondo will play better

6) Ray can't play any worse

7) Lebron can't play much better

8 ) The refs can't get much worse

9) A random event will happen that will give us a shot in 1 road game

10) They are the Celtics.  Haven't you learned by now?

Actually, you do need to qualify this statement, I think.

If Mike Miller and Shane Battier are going to continue to be factors in this series, they'll need to stay healthy/rested as much as anyone on the Celtics.
