Looking back at this prediction, Hollinger STILL got it wrong....MIA didn't beat us easily in any game.

Boston will be back next year - better than ever.

Yep.  I wasn't willing to admit it would be this easy either. I didn't see how old our guys were looking and how improved the Heat really were.

The same unit will be another year older and more injury prone than this year.

TO keep this core intact might not even result in making it past the first round next year.

Why not start NOW before ,  the best we can hope for next year is a winning season and a playoff berth. Then we are toast.

He was right about the 5 games. He was wrong about "breezing past us easily".

I disagree. The Heat thoroughly outplayed the Celtics. In at least 3 of the wins, I never felt there was any doubt the Heat would turn it on (even when the C's had a six point lead in the 4th of Game 5).

I guess Hollinger banked on Rondo getting injured

Can I borrow you to gamble from now on since you were so sure?

3/4 losses were tied up with 6 minutes left. 2 after Rondo got injured. Definitely not thoroughly outplayed.

the heat had the celtics number at the end of the games it was over before it was over, most viewers could see who had the energy in the last 5 minutes and it wasn't the celtics.
