Some quotes from Wade and Heat on Celtics...

[j804]

``They're not possibly excited about us at all,'' Wade said of the Celtics. ``A lot of people said we weren't going to make the playoffs. I look at it as being the underdog because Boston is a team that last year, if Kevin Garnett were healthy, should have been back in the Finals. This year, they got what they wanted -- their whole team back, and teams are saying they could possibly be back in the Finals again.


``They've dominated us in the regular season. We don't have the star power that they have. They have enough to carry this whole series name-wise. We don't have that. We have a team over here, and that's what's going to win this series for us.''

Several Heat people shrugged off Boston's recent struggles.

``All I think about is the games we played them, and they played phenomenal,'' Wade said, dismissing Boston's recent uneven play. ``I'm not worried about the games when they played somebody else. Kendrick Perkins has had a career high versus us, Garnett averages [19 points] a game against us. He's only averaged 14 for the year. In our matchups, for some reason, they get it right.''


``Rondo is the key to the team, the way he penetrates, creates, defends, gets steals,'' Haslem said. ``It's going to take a complete team effort to try to keep him out of the paint. And when he does get into the paint, try to make him finish against some of our guards instead of dishing it off to those guys for easy dunks and Ray Allen threes.''


``They started off the season as well as anybody before they had injuries,'' coach Erik Spoelstra said. ``And they have enough experience that when the lights are on, they can be extremely dangerous. The lights will probably only inspire them.''

Interesting to hear comments from the other side. Spoelstras right the bright lights and playoff basketball should only fire us up, and get us barking and biting like some fierce Rottweilers, showing we're back like Paul said we would. I Believe.....Banner 18 lets get it!! These quotes were taken from the Herald miami.

NBA players aren't stupid like a lot of the "experts". The understand what it's like and they know that these guys can still kill it.

Class of '95 is gonna be tearing it up this postseason.
