Figured I'd get this thread going for what should be one of the more anticipated playoff series in NBA history. The Celtics took the season series 3-1 while the Heat took the most recent contest 100-77. I wouldn't expect that one again, personally. And, if the Heat play like they did in the last couple of games against Philly, I expect a Celtics sweep. However, I think both teams will step their games up for this one.
As a Heat fan, I'd like to see Mario Chalmers start at the point over Mike Bibby who, aside from the Cavs game in the regular season, has been about as useless as tits on a bull. Chalmers has been playing extremely well of late distributing the ball and has shown that he's capable of knocking down the open shots created by double teams to D-Wade and LeBron as well as defending the opposition's PG. For this series, I'd also expect them to go with Ilgauskas moreso than Joel Anthony. I like Anthony's shot blocking ability, but he's 6'9" and will apparently be going against Shaq. We need another 7 footer in there to contend with Shaq.
In all, this series is going to be absolutely riveting television.
