miami needed yet another great performance from James and Wade to win game 4. Both of these guys combined for 23 rebounds, the celtics as a team had only 28 rebounds. Bosh kicked in 20 with 12 boards too. Boston will live with Bosh taking that many shots though.
I look for Miami to close out the series tonight, but Boston is Boston, and they are not going to get blown out in an elimination game. A big part of the reason why Boston wasn't ever going to win game 4 was because Rondo was not healthy. He's incapable of grabbing rebounds, one of his best assets. But
I look for the Celtics to step it up on the glass tonight, especailly BIG BABY DAVIS, who has been invisible off the bench. Look for him to have a good game.
I think the gameplan has to go through Pierce and Garnett tonight. Pierce is really the only guy capable of creating something for himself off the dribble on a consistant basis,
I think Doc relies heavily on him tonight and he comes through big. As for the Heat,
I look for a decent performance from the bench. Its good to see Udonis back and getting ready for the next series. It's going to be tough for Boston to win this game, but
I don't see Lebron duplicating his last performance,
I can see a 25, 8 and 8 kind of performance.
I see Garnett getting the best of Bosh tonight. Wade is able to get his at any time against Ray Allen or Delante West. Wade might drop 30, Lebron with 25, but Bosh is not dropping 20 points tonight. The Celtics have struggled to get into a rhythm offensively, and that's been the story the whole series. The reason why this is, is because Garnett, Allen, and Pierce are exhausted from chasing Wade and Lebron around all game, packing in the paint, that they don't have their legs at the end of games, and are coming up short on jump shots. Does this sound pretty familiar???
Boston needs to start relying more on ball movement and they will be fine.
I see a good shooting night from them,
I don't know if its enough to get the win, because if its a close game,
I think Miami has the two best closers in the world. By the way,
I thought Miami couldn't close out games? Oh that's right, that was during the REGULAR SEASON. Two of the three best closers in the world during playoff time is a different story. $300 on Boston +7.5
