Giddy up.

LET'S GO PHILLY!

[krikor]

popcorn ready, going to enjoy this. I hope it goes to triple overtime lol

[Slot Machine]

Hope Philly wins tonight and the OKC-SA series goes a gritty seven games. We need them to be as tired as possible and we need as much time for Bosh to heal as possible.

Cut down on snacks, but going to get that buy 1 get 1 lays chip special for the game tonight and tomorrow night.

How sure are u guys that Philly are an easier matchup then the Celtics? considering health, age and all.

Philly's offense is horrendous. Boston is bad right now but Rondo kills us.... I don't care what anyone else says.

I don't know what it is, but Boston plays well against us man. They know our defense too well.

They are vulnerable though, but meh... I guess for this team to be more battle tested I'd want them to take Boston.

Boston is banged up aswell. Bradley out (wouldn't have made a difference against us, playoff Wade would eat him alive).

Boston's bench looks really thin right now though... if our bench out duels there's, we could even sweep them. KG is who I am worried about though, he is playing great.

Ray ALlen being hurt also benefits us, Wade won't have to chase him around as much.

EVerytime Boston has an extra day of rest, they win.... so we'll see how tonights game is. But again I love that they play on Monday, barely any rest, AGAINST A WELL RESTED HEAT TEAM!

i agree
don't care how boston looks right now
they'll look like a completely diff team should they play MIA

Rondo will Super Saiyan up and KG/Bass will be dead eye shooters

KG is already playing lights out. He's putting up 20/10 on 52% before this game 7.

Bass might show up.

Rondo will def. show up. But as long as Ray Allen and Paul Pierce don't go off, the Heat should be fine. Let KG/Rondo explode. They need everyone to contribute to win, not just those 2 guys.

[Vertical Limit]

I don't care about the "easiest" match up, we'll beat any of these in 5 maximum. But seeing the Celtics lose to the 7th seed Sixers is just funny to me and will be their demise as a future threat since that will force Ainge to have a firesale.

[Miamis3rdRing]

I'm sitting here on my couch drooling.

Drooling at the thought of the Heat going up against either of these two teams. Right now they are basically fighting for the honor, the privilege, of getting destroyed by the Heatles.

The winner of this game has no idea what's in store for them. These teams stink.

Pretty much.

I only listened to the first quarter on the radio. What's been the story with Philly's terrible shooting percentage? Are they missing easy buckets, or is Boston forcing them into tough shots? PEACE.

[FlashKing]

I don't care how well the Celtics play us in the regular season, Miami better mop the floor with them in the conference finals, assuming they get past Philly. 76ers are a dreadful team to watch and they took Boston to 7 games. I don't care how good their defense is, they can't score and you got veterans on your team who can score, still they're struggling to put them away.

28% shooting by the Sixers and Boston is only up 8?

[DefenseWins]

Boston is forcing Philly into tough shots as well as Philly just missing shots. It's mostly Boston I feel.

These types of shots, only Wade or LBJ can pull off. Or another elite player.

KG with 11 rebs or so.

Again their offense does look bad, but Philly's defense is REALLY good, especially around the perimeter. Our defense around the perimeter isn't that great. We allow teams those shots, Philly doesn't.

Ray Allen has been missing shots he usually makes.

Pierce and KG will have to carry this team. Rondo is having an average game, had foul trouble.

I'm not looking too much into this though. But I'd love for Boston to be eliminated, I would find it amusing.

[GetMoney]

it's a trap

Boston/MIA is going 6

KG might avg 25+ in that series

[DefenseWins]

sigh, KG is going to get so wide open against us. Hopefully Bosh is back for this series at some point.

[WD]

IMO - we don't need nor should we count on Bosh, UD plays him(Garnett) tougher, tighter and more physical. Philly is pressing.

[KDS91]

KG's got a sweet stroke.

Still a punk, though

[OtW]

Wow. Brandon Bass and KG o.O we need Bosh if Boston wins.

[WD]

Again, we won't have Bosh and shouldn't think we need him...We'll be ok
