Celtics vs. Heat

Tonight we've got the first game in the second series Celtics vs Heat.
    First, I want to say that basketball has become a sport that I've started to watch in the last two years more seriously. I didn't have the same passion about it 8 years ago when I fell in love with football. My favorite team in basketball would have to be the Celtics. I say this first because if you feel that I'm bagging on the Heat more I probably am. There's so much to say where to start.
    The Miami Heat have three star players Lebron, Bosh, Wade. This leads to my first problem with this team. No team should never put three stars on it. I think you're star status downgrades when you leave a team because you the star player couldn't motivate the team to be the best it could be. Michael Jordan worked with what he had. He never asked for other stars to come help him out. The press about it was totally too much. Ugh, I can't go on. Lebron is a really good player, but he lost his Michael Jordan appeal.
    Back to the main reason I wrote this! The Celtics will win this series. I think the Celtics are more experienced with coming back and staying in the lead. They have been here before and they've won here before. Their coach is amazing. Whether it's the coach or the players they always come together as a team and make shots when they need to. Though, this may not be enough if Miami turns up the heat.
     The Heat as I've stated have three stars, but they also have many other members that can score and play well on both sides of the court. Everyone knows that in the regular season the Heat didn't know how to finish a game. This is their weakness. In the last minutes they have to give the ball to someone that knows how to score and knows how to score in pressure. I am not sure they'll be able to pull this one off.
     Key! One key thing that I believe is important  is defense. The Celtics have to play amazing defense against the Heat's big three because they can shot and aren't afraid to. The Heat will also have to do the same against a fast moving Celtics team and most importantly Rajon Rondo.  The second key is to take the shot when you have it and go in the paint when you can.

GO CELTICS!
