Celtics First Round Opponent is.....the Miami Heat

[hpantazo]

Obviously heat didnt have Wade tonight, but even then could barely put away the Nets. Im not scared of them at all. I can already see Rondo dominating Arroyo.

the question is will Rondo actually play defense on Arroyo, because he didn't guard Rafer or Johnson in last year's playoffs, and Rose li him up.

i like this opponent for the celtics. wade with that supporting cast will be able to win a couple of games, but not the series.

celtics in 6...5 if wade plays poorly.

i plan to enjoy each and every celtic victory.

Rose lit him up for one, or two games of that series IIRC.

After that Rondo was doing a much better job. People also forget that when the team is literally running pick after pick for Rose all the way past the 3 point line Rondo needs some help....

ok, but what about Rafer and Johnson? Rondo just decided not to guard them in a playoff series.

Celts in 5

Ditto.

Hear, hear.

I just wanted to make sure Redz and Lucky got the credit they deserved...

Miami in 6, I'm sorry but that's reality

Alternative reality maybe, on another planet.
