Game may hinge on Shaq....or Jermaine....or Semih......

Im confident of PP on James....not so on RA on Wade.....if Ray can get support and run Wade into the ground...he may get some good scoring chances.....

im a lil nervous!

With the injuries to our centers it will be tough. I expect the heat to be extra motivated for this one.

For us to win Rondo will have to be aggressive the whole game. They have no shot blocking, so he needs to attack the basket and finish or find the open man. We shouldn`t double team Wade or Lebron, I don`t want to see Eddie or Jones kill us with open threes.

I expect the Heat to bounce back from their embarrassing loss to the Jazz, as well as get their revenge for the loss in the opener.

However, I believe the C's will still prevail.

Rondo should destroy them again

What's the over/under on how many Heat fans will be in the stands once the 4th quarter starts?

10,000?

With both teams coming in off losses, I think we can expect an intense, well-played basketball game.

On the injury front, I'd be shocked if Shaq doesn't start. He came on the trip with the sole purpose of playing in Miami, and he'll be needed tonight. I expect he'll only be able to give us 10-15 minutes, but it'll be appreciated.

JO should probably be shut down for a couple weeks to make his swelling go down, but I wouldn't be surprised if he tries to play tonight. JO is a terrible player when he's injured, however, so I expect to see a lot of one-legged, half-effort if he does get in the game. I wouldn't expect he'd be able to go more than 10 minutes.

I hope Semih smells a couple minute here or there, but knowing Doc's aversion to playing rookies in big games early in the season, he probably won't unless JO or Shaq are ruled out. I think Semih could have a big game, but the key for him will be finishing around the rim. He's gotta watch for Lebron on the weak side.

I'm glad Baby can play major minutes against MIA and their bigs won't take advantage of it. I hope Shaq can hold up for some reasonable minutes tonight. I expect Baby to be our Center for the majority of the game. And I guess Erden will get some minutes.

Wish we had West for this game. One of Pierce or Ray will probably get some foul trouble and I wouldn't mind having West and Marquis there to fill in the extra minutes.

Consider me a Celtics fan for a day.

Should be a fun game. I just wish both teams were healthy.

Heat will be looking for revenge. I am sure they are upset after that home loss on Tuesday as well against the Jazz. We will see if the C's are up to the challenge tonight.

Just win.

Should be a good game.

Wouldn't be surprised to see a blow out, either direction. Or a double overtime. I really have no expectations for this game. Miami is extremely talented, Boston is extremely experienced and balanced. It all depends on what kind of game Rondo has tonight.

It's going to be a great game and Rondo is going to demolish Arroyo.

Here's to a good game Celtics fans.

Should be a great game. Expecting a close one tonight. Miami needs this game more than the Celtics. I'll still say Celtics pull out a victory 92-90.

If Miami loses tonight Celtics fans be careful not to get trampled on by everyone jumping off the Heat bandwagon. :lol:

Funny how I was super excited for that first game, and this game is just 'blahh'. Wish we would have won the game in Dallas so we didn't have to go all out in this game. But oh well. Smash them in the paint, protect the paint, let Rondo and Kevin win their match ups, and we have a great chance at the W.
