First of all, they are in the Garden... Secondly, they have the experience that Miami lacks in big games. LeBron is a choker, plain and simple. In addition to that, Miami's free throw shooting has been horendous, most notably from LeBron, Wade, and Chalmers. You can't expect to win a big game when your best offensive options can't hit their free throws. Another huge factor is Boston's bench, who is much, much better than the Heats. Boston should out rebound them with their bigs, since I can't imagine anyone outside of LeBron and Haslem even getting close to 10 rebounds. Once Miami tries to prevent Boston from pounding them in the middle, Boston is going to start lighting it up from 3 point range. Everything points to a Boston win in the Garden here. You're looking at a group of veterans that realize this may be their last shot at another championship. In addition to that, Rondo is hungry and will not allow them to lose this game. Different story if the game is in Miami, but Boston should pull this one off tonight. Take BOSTON ML and be happy!

As weird as it sounds, Pietrus, Dooling, and Daniels are underrated as far as this game goes. Pietrus and Dooling can hit 3s, as far as their bench goes. Daniels is a good defender. If they decide to play, Stiemsma more, he will be able to contribute on the defensive end, but not sure if he will see more than 10 minutes lol. You know Pierce, Allen, and even Rondo at times are capable of hitting 3s. Granted Celtics don't depend on their bench that much, but I believe they will a little more this game and be pleasantly surprised. Fade me if you want, but Celtics are winning this game. I don't post my records here, but have been right in every game in the SA/OKC series and this series, and don't expect to break my streak now. GL to everyone!

I'm so sick of people who think LeBron is the best player in the NBA... some even say he is better than Jordan. Sure LeBron has the stats, but what does that amount to if you can't make that clutch shot, hit your free throws (elementary school stuff), or ever win a ring.

Durant is better than LeBron, hands down. I would say LeBron is close to Kobe, but Kobe is a winner and LeBron is still not and what is he... 27?
You are starting team and you want Durant? If you dont like LeBron that is one thing but it isnt close as to who is the all round better player. Durant is great offensive player but isnt close in rebounding or defense.

Or passing or basketball IQ.

Yes, Durant is not as good as an all around player. He is still a lot younger and will have time to improve in all aspects. I have already seen an improvement in his passing, but he definitely needs to work on his off the ball movement. This will all come with time. He DOESN'T MISS FTs and already has a clutch gene that Lebron will never have. I know this may be a matter of opinion, but I'll take the more clutch guy, who never misses a free throw, and has a better shot that is nearly impossible to alter or block. Keep in mind, he is still improving, while Lebron is in his prime.

I've never seen Lebron shoot his team out of games like Kobe Bryant. All Lebron does is keep his team in the game or create a comfortable lead. You're a media baby, because Lebron has some of the best stats in the league regarding a game where there is no team ahead by a wide margin in the last 5 minutes of a game/OT. But you're right, ignorance is bliss. Take Boston and "be happy". Best of luck to you, this game could go either way.

GL to you too. I expect a good game, but think Boston takes this in the end. They need to. I really think this series is going 7. As far as LeBron goes, I was lucky enough to see more than a hundred games live when Jordan was playing and watched him most of his career. There is a factor that doesn't show up in the stats. I saw that factor in Durant before, and it really came out yesterday. LeBron, for how dominate he can be at times, just doesn't have it. Sorry to tell you LeBron fans that, but it just isn't there. Kobe is the closest to Jordan there ever will be, and believe me, I am not a Kobe fan. With Durant, you are seeing something out of a player that there has really never been. You can't compare him to anybody because he is such a hybrid. Durant doesn't really have any weaknesses, except for his off the ball movement, which he will be able to improve. Just watching this past series, I would question what he is doing standing around at times, or why he is positioned where he is. LeBron is not all of a sudden going to become close to a 90% free throw shooter like Durant is. You should understand how bad it is that you have to pray that LeBron, being in his prime, shoots better than 75% on any given night from the free throw line. That goes along with clutchness I guess though.
