thought the C's would give the Heat that much trouble.

They're old, slow, and injured.

Yet pushed the Heat to 7 games.

Honestly didn't see it coming. Wasn't sure with Bosh out but after Game 1, I was like alright Heat in 5, but damn was I wrong. Tough tough series. Never thought it would be easy though.

Word.

I did think we would have had an easier time with the Celtics than we did. We were fortunate to pull it out and with a few bounces they could have bounced us in 5 games.

Philly just took the Celtics to 7 games so I wasn't expecting us to need 7 games against them.

I didn't expect it. My original breakdown was with Bosh in the lineup, but even when he went down with injury, I didn't think we'd have a problem. We didn't need Bosh either, we just needed to play with greater energy in Games 3 and 4. I'm glad we did it though. PEACE.

I think this just means OKC will give us less trouble...this team won't get pushed to Game 7 twice...right??

We needed Bosh, because of Kevin Garnett. You are kidding yourselves saying we didn't need Bosh.

Wade being doubled like hell and his knee issues, I didn't see.

We kept letting ourselves go into holes, then the defense as terrible. This whole "give Rondo space", losing Ray on screens, FRONTING KG... ugh.

Thank god for the Big 3.

But I'm glad the Heat were pushed. Can't have it easy then when things get hard they get frazzled. I don't see that happening now.

Bosh going down extended both series... but Bosh is fresh. Dude was on FIRREEEE tonight. If he hits more 3's... WE WINNING IT ALL LOL.

nope fully expected this
said BOS would like nothing like they did 1st 2RDs

I never thought it would be an easy series. in fact, I wouldn't have been shocked if Boston won the series. I don't know what it is about our team, but they always bring out the best in the Celtics, the exception being Game 6.

I expected Heat in 5, maximum 6 without Chris Bosh. I don't know if we would have won the series without him, he was a center piece for the Heat in the last game. Kevin Garnett obviously hadn't any match-up with CB on the bench.

Dude your cool and all, but honestly in all of your posts you keep saying we didn't need Bosh, yet he was the MVP of a GAME dam 7. So stop with the "WE DIDN'T NEED BOSH" Yes we did, we honestly had game 5 if spo didn't take him out.

Bosh is the most important player out of the Big 3.

actually, with no Bosh I was worried about the Pacers.

With the Celtics Rondo was always a nightmare. Add no Bosh, and that makes KG a matchup nightmare. 2 matchup nightmares on two stars is not good, and a team like the Celts took advantage.

So yea, during the year Boston did not look great and I didnt expect them to do great, but they had the guys there to give us issues in this series. It was a tough hard fought series win.

They are ALL important in every role they face.

no he is just 3rd most important, beacuse he is 3rd option
but still when you lose 3rd option, you are in trouble, because basketball is team sport

I agree with everyone but we definitely could've finished this series in 5. Game 4 we had our chances and if Bosh played more minutes for us in Game 5. In a positive note, I'm glad we got pushed to Game 7 and the original have now a second chance to claim what belongs to them and to prove to the world.

I think we extended the series to seven games as a sign of respect to the careers of the Celtics' Big 3. Probably could have swept them, but didn't want them going down like that to end their season. I applaud the Heat.
