Official ECF Thread: Miami Heat vs Boston Celtics

[Constellations]

the celtics also dont have there best defender on the team and are one of the worse rebounding teams in the nba.


the heat have a chance with bosh but if he dosent come back i cant see them winning, he is the only person who could somewhat contain duncan.

Who are they missing?

lose to a starting 5 with boris diaw and danny green, get the fukk outta here....fukk the bench too, soon youll understand

Didnt the Mavs start Deshawn Stevenson and have Brian Cardinal & Ian Mahinmi in the rotation last season?

Heat beat the Spurs in 7 without Bosh.

 

[Long Live The Kane]

Yes...I still have Miami winning the title, regretfully

 

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Only way the Spurs are losing is if the refs get on their 2006 shyt for the Heat. I don't know if my heart could take that.

 

[Brock Landers]

Pierce fouled out, Pietrus out, Dooling out, no Heat player above 4 fouls?

 

[MikelArteta]

Pop has never lost in the finals

LBJ averaged 1.5 fouls in the regular season. Him averaging 1.8 in the playoffs isn't an anomaly. That's part of what him such a great defender. He's so gifted athletically (and such a smart player) he can stay in front of the ballhandler and not foul to keep the player in front of him. It's not just him; most great perimeter defenders don't draw many fouls. Iggy and Luol Deng both averaged 1.5 fouls in the regular season as well. Tayshaun Prince averaged 1.2 fouls. All four players played at least 33 minutes a game.

It's possible but you gotta have a healthy Bosh. If it's the Bron and Wade show they have no chance because they would have to do too much night in and night out on both ends and the role players are too streaky and more importantly the Spurs are too good.

The Heat are a great defensive team and when they get in swarm mode with all those athletic guys they can really be stiffling. Spurs aren't the greatest defensive team anymore and pretty much just outscore you with great execution. Heat can win if they keep the scores low and prevent those 3pt shooters from going wild.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

discussed this today at work. I don't think anyone can beat the Spurs. Their ball movement is too crisp. The heat is all ISO/Lebron and DWade throwing themselves into people to get calls.
