The guy who is the key for the Heat tonight doesn't have his ppicture above. It is Udonis Haslem, one of the best 6th men in the league. He has very good success against the Celtics. He gets almost 15 Pts. against us, and only 10 against the league.

He is the best Rebounder on the Heat, at 8.1 a game. The best "O" Rebounder at 2 a game. He shoots 49%, and is a good foul shooter. He doesn't turn the ball over, only 1 a game.

Best we have a body on him all night long, or he can make life tough for the Celtics.

Dick Bavetta eh? So far I'm kind of feeling like there was a note from the league office to the refs that just read "Celtics vs Cavs in round two, make it happen."

[ThroughThatDoor]

I hate Sheed so effing much. What a useless piece of crap. Just get swept so I don't have to see your useless face for the rest of the offseason and can forget you exist.

Perkins is pissing me off with his Blountian hands tonight.

Tony Allen is the player of the game,IMO .


And I never thought I'd ever post those words.........LOL

Great hustle and defense that saved the day.

[CaptChris]

Tony Allen played the game of his life. He worked his butt off. Glen Davis had a fantastic 4th quarter -- 8 Pts. & 8 Rebs. and some strong "D".

The TEAM "D" pressure was the biggest thing in the game. We frustrated them totally. It wasn't just Tony Allen, it was everyone on the floor.

I just hope that the "Drama Queen" Paul Pierce didn't wnd up getting KG suspended for the next game. PP is a total phony with the acting jobs.

Pierce isn't a drama queen. He had a stinger and it wasn't the first time that has happened this season. The drama queen plays in Cleveland.

I'm sure Richardson came over and called him a drama queen and KG didn't take to kindly to it. It will probably end up costing KG a game but I like it. Shows this team hasn't lost their toughness.

"I was trying to get over there to take the ball out of bounds," Richardson said. "I said to Jermaine, 'He [Pierce] is OK,' because I knew nobody touched him. Is he taking a break like he does so many times?" Quentin Richardson. that's why you got the taste slapped out your mouth.

[Spleen]

The problem with Pierce rolling around on the floor screaming for mama was that Kevin should have been smarter in that situation, even though it appeared he was protecting his teammate. Better to let some of the Heat guys kick Paul around a little before the refs got in there and have them tossed and suspended. What should have happened is that KG should have gone to a neutral corner when Richardson came over to bait him and heckle Paul, and Scal should have been racing down there to smack Richardson into next week. Sure he'd get suspended or something, but he isn't going to play any way, and he won't be here next year, and Richardson would hopefully have been knocked silly and Scal would have gotten more satisfaction punching Richardson than sitting around watching the game,a win-win situation.
