Comments on: What Heat-Celtics means to the Celtics http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/30/what-heat-celtics-means-to-the-celtics/ Basketball - NBC Sports Fri, 24 May 2013 07:28:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: Scott http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/30/what-heat-celtics-means-to-the-celtics/comment-page-1/#comment-39290 Sun, 01 May 2011 23:08:31 +0000 http://probasketballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=22644#comment-39290 You’re right. It WAS so interesting seeing the Celts try try try to come back from their huge deficit. And they got close multiple times only to see the dominant team…dominate. Celts will bow out quietly in 5.

More boston excuses for getting beat in the finals. Let us not forget the season before that Bynum was out, and when Perkins was out, Bynum was basically playing on one leg. .

This will be the only reason, ever, that this Laker fan roots for Boston, I hope they sweep Le-brick and the rest of these clowns.

Two emotional dudes with a lot of similarities. Bosh is playing like a beast and Garnett looked great against New York. This has been a great season of basketball, playoffs included. I hope Miami pulls it out in seven, I want some intense basketball. Trash talking and people needing to be separated. No injuries, just intense hoops.

The Heat needs to blow them out of the game because the Celtics are just too good at closing tight games. This will be a very interesting series maybe more so than the eastern conference finals.

I wonder how the “short-timer” Celtics like Garnett and Allen feel about the Celtic legacy. While they have been through a decade plus with losing campaigns in Minny and Seattle, they haven’t had to muscle out sub-.500 seasons with those banners looming above them. Pierce has earned this chip on his shoulder, but two of the big 4 were no different in their goals than LeBron and Bosh only 4 years ago. Remember, Garnett couldn’t get any jewelry on his own, neither could Allen. It was only by forming the 2007 Celtic triumvirate that they were able to feel that weight on their fingers. As a fan of the game, I would love to see this veteran group show up the South Florida crew (I can smell the Laker jerseys in my closet burning from here) I can’t help but feel a little like a hypocrite.
