    I agree with the first poster. Heat wins big or loses outright in game 1.

    Close, low scoring game. Boston +5.5 for me.

    Celts plus the 5 - I'm sure they haven't forgotten that beatdown they got last time in South Beach.

    The heat have won very few close games against playoff teams this season is what he is saying. Anytime the game is close the heat choke. Hence, if they game is close at the end of the 4th qtr chances are Boston comes up with the win. If you don't believe in statistics/math then it is understandable you don't understand the OP's point and should take the +5.

    This is like round 1 for the Celtics, New York wasn't even a playoff team. Given how much they fed off home support/Allen 3 to win game 1 vs NY you wonder what they'll need this time.

    The best chance a road team has to steal a game is the first gm of a series.

    Its funny you post this. I think the opposite.

    That Boston +5 is a great number. IO cant imagine this Heat team beating a rested boston team by more than 5.

    The OP is exactly right, Miami has a terrible record in games decided by five points or less, they have won ONE game all year on a winning shot in the last 10 seconds and they generally suck in late game execution. Thus, if its a close game, Boston will most likely win and when Miami has won this year, it has almost always been handily.

    Until a game is played in this series, how can you not like Boston and the points? The Celtics have proven golden in the playoffs as a winner or close loser.

    Pierce was a non factor, Heatles already blew their doors off when Pierce started with the cheap shots

    Boston is a trainwreck....monkeys chest pounding with only 1 NBA title in 5 years

    if I were Pat Riley I'd petition to have Pierce suspended for that hit on D-Wade

    Lol you're such a joke. The hit on Wade? You mean the legal screen, which Wade tried to run through, and then decided to get in Pierce's face? Watch the replay again, Wade steps to Pierce, not the other way around. Pierce shouldn't have been T'd up
