Boston Globe reporting that Avery Bradley is likely done for the season.

Great news if Miami and Boston end up advancing. Although Bradley didnt score he was able to slow down Wade. I think with Allens bad ankle, Wade should be able to attack alot.

There's a lot of game to go before Miami or/and Boston can meet in the ECF. Let's not get ahead of ourselves.
I remember when the Dolphins were perennial contenders

Yeah landing 76ers would be dope, but Boston is struggling with injuries to key players.
1. Avery Bradley OUT - shoulder dislocation
2. Ray Allen has bone spurs in his ankles
3. Paul Pierce has a sprained MCL in his left knee

Doesn't mean it will be easy...It'll probably still be a dog fight, but with Bosh back (likely) for the series, The Heat have the advantage with whoever they face between the two.

Boston's offense has been bad, but again, they just seem to know our defense.

But I love that they will play us on Monday right after Saturday if they win. NO REST FOR THEM!

Boston is going to win game 7, when they have an extra day of rest or so, they tend to win. I don't think the league wants to see Philly in the ECF anyway lol.

I think our bench is better too if we get some solid production. We also don't have to worry about rebounding so much this series. Wade doesn't have to chase around Ray that much because Ray is hurt himself.

Garnett will have to abuse our front court, but we'll see how this goes...

Also Rondo has success against us, I don't care how bad the C's look right now, Rondo beasts against us. And it's because of our defense and hedging.

Yep, it's crazy how much easier it is to just watch a game and enjoy the sport of basketball when it doesn't involve the Heat. I'm too nervous during Heat games to fully enjoy them.

I've never wanted to punch someone in the face so badly. Really hoping to run into him at a game one day. I won't hesitate.

Storyline IF Philly wins will be about breaking up the Boston team. No KG, no Ray, and maybe even Pierce next year.
