Let's go baby I'm ready for this! Gotta feed it early inside and have paul drive in to set up perimeter shots for ray and co. Let's get this tonight! Make christina bosh look pathetic

[angryguy77]

Need a big game from rondo. What's the deal with the oneals?

Chalking this one as a LOSE.

Even if C's play well, NBA won't allow The Chosen Ones to lose twice to the OLD CELTICS. The Future of the NBA rides on the THE HEAT dynasty. To do that, they have to sell da people on da Heat. Celtics will get absolutely hosed tonight not by the Heat but by the refs. 5v8

C'mon, we can all make stories. I think the Celtics will win tonight, because the NBA and evil David Stern wants to build a story of the Heat being the overrated, suddenly transforming into the underdog that no-one liked, then they become world beaters and are going for a revenge-fest in the playoffs, beating every team 4-0 and set a new record (not even sure it's a record!).

Most nights I think we can argue that we at least feel let down by the refs - especially against players that usually get 'superstar' treatment. The last home-game Miami played have as far as I have read and heard been called differently - at least when it came down the wire.

Whether that's true or not is a completely different story, but to approach games and refs with baseless conspiracy theories is just not constructive in any way or form!

With the C's injury situation the Heat should win this game if they want to even be considered a threat come playoff time. I hope the C's can get it done though. Miami turmoil is a very good thing.

I'm expecting the Heat to dish out some hard fouls in this game.  Their toughness has been called into question, and I think they'll look to respond by taking out anybody who drives to the basket.

Rondo and Pierce need to be tough.  The answer isn't to be afraid of going to the rack.  The answer is to challenge them, go to the hole hard on every possession, stuff them through the basket with the ball.  I want to see aggression tonight.

The question becomes, will the refs let them play.. I expect it to be very physical inside. It will be interesting to see if we turn to a small line up for an extended period of time during this game

[Kiorrik]

With all the injuries we have, I don't want to chalk it up as a lose just yet, but I'm not too bothered by the outcome.

Remember guys, this is *their* statement game. *Their* chance for retribution. *Their* chance to show they *can* do it.

I'm not bothered *at all* if we lose this.

Wow. Lots of asterisks there. **!

Oh and erm:

LET'S GO CELTICS!!!

(I do want this win lol)

[jimmehx]

A battered Shaq and Erden along with an absent JO doesn't give me much confidence. We'll see what happens!

Let's go C's! Show them how tough you are against adversity.

[Meadowlark_Scal]

[jimmehx]

Ugh, Reggie Miller is broadcasting this game...

I like how he thinks this game will determine who is the top of the East. Sounds like he hasn't read the Injuries section of the scout report..

[makaveli]

Let's hand Heat's a** to them
