Game 5 - Heat at Celtics - Tues 7PM EST

[Tim_Hardawayy]

Guys, we should be optimistic about this game. The bottom line is this, through 4 games in the playoffs so far, the only guys who have really shown up in the postseason are Wade and Q, and maybe Dorell the past couple of games. Everyone else has underperformed compared to the regular season.

Something's gotta give. I have faith. We will turn this around.

why do miami fans want the heat to win anyways?!?! so both teams can head back down to south beach and play infront of a half empty arena........?
c's close this thing out tonight.

Why do people keep saying it was half empty???

That is how it seen on TV. The problem I think is that the steps/walkway coming down the aisles and the seats are of the same color (red) .. so all the steps look like empty seats from afar.

If we were to win this series, we would have had to win a game in Boston. Just because we lost one at home, doesn't change the fact that we need to win there .. nor does it make our situation any more dismal .. since we are talking of 1 game only - this one. \

So lets just win this,

Go Heat!

I hope Spo has prepared for the inevitable trapping of Wade, which I wouldn't be surprised they do to start the game with. Hopefully we run him off some screens and make Allen's job harder.

I would love to see Beasley, JO and Haslem get KG and Perkins in foul trouble. Same with Wade and Chalmers driving the paint and get to the foul line.

Also, let's speed up the game a bit for these old legs. If we can attack Boston's hard defense before it sets itself with hard drives and kicks instead of using too much of the clock allowing them to suffocate our offense, then we will have a shot.

I want to see more Wade/Wright/Q out on the floor at the same time with JoEL and either Beasley or Haslem. I wish Cook would've been a factor. IMO his athleticism, defense and shooting (if he had it) would've been key in playing Rondo and/or Ray Allen..... damn Cookie!!!

[The Heats fire]

This is a very important game for Miami, maybe one of the most important ones in franchise history. If we're going to turn this series around I'd say this will be the hardest game, because it's in Boston and they will look to close out the series, on the otherside the Heat should be drived to stay in the series, at least Wade will. But if we win this it would be very very very very very very huge because we'd be behind just 2-3 and with the series shifting back to Miami again. Then we'd probably win at home and get with very much selfconfidence in a game 7 where the Heat should be hypermotivated because of the fact they could write history by winning that game. But for all this to happen we need to win this one first. In the words of Rocky Balboa: "It ain't over until it's over". SO LET'S GO MIAMI HEAT, GIVE YOUR BEST EFFORT TONIGHT AND PULL OUT AN UNBELIEVABLE WIN, ALL TOGHETER NOW : WE BELIEVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TrueRain]

I'm not getting excited. I think we'll find a way to lose this game despite Wade playing well. I just hope to see these guys come out with some drive in them.

but its been that way for a reason.. gotta give credit to the Celtics defense, our role players are completely outmatched trying to score on that team. Hope youre right.

Well If we win this game and eventually wi the series, it would go down as one of the most important games.. Big IF though.

I rather not see KG in foul trouble. Glen can get going when given time. HIs movement around the rim was a huge mismatch for us in Game 2. I think Joel just needs to see more minutes and try his best to shut KG down.

Miami fans cheering for the Heat to win? That's insane!

I'll give'em some credit, but a lot of our guys have missed open shots and made silly turnovers. Haslem has flat out missed his jumper so far this series, JO we all know about, Dorell looked scared the first couple games, and Beasley, we all know the potential he has if he just plays with fire.

I don't think we have played a great game as a team yet, and I know we have the capability to do so.

If we were to win this series, we would have had to win a game in Boston. Just because we lost one at home, doesn't change the fact that we need to win there .. nor does it make our situation any more dismal .. since we are talking of 1 game only - this one. \

So lets just win this,

Go Heat!

No. You would only have to win one in Boston had you not lost 1 at home. Now you need to win 2 at the Garden..tonight and game 7. Or maybe I just totally misunderstood what you were trying to say?? lol..

Let's not suck. Oh and,

Mamasita..can't get enough of this chick..

yeah, I was talking about just this 1 game not the remaining 2 games/series. We had to win a game in Bos anyway, so why not this one
