Let me lay this out so that we are all clear !!! The Heat will not sweep the series. They'll win one in Boston.. Then they'll wrap the series up at home, in front of all their fans.. So don't get to excited..

Look, MIA and BOS are arguably the best 2 teams in the Eastern Conference. BOS lost on the road to a team that's just as good as they are. Yes, built differently, but on paper the defenses stack-up comparable. They lost 2 road games to the Miami Heat! The team people have been calling to win it all this YR since last summer. & I must admit, MIA is playing great basktball as of late. So, people need to lay off the BOS panic meter, as if BOS blew 2 games to IND or PHI or somethin'. BOS would have liked to have @ least split the 1st 2 games in MIA & come back to BOS tied 1-1, but it's not the end of the world. BOS can hold their home court.
Shaq is expected to play SAT. Let me remind every1 what an asset Shaq is when he's on the floor. BOS only needs 20min. from him, tops each game. If the Celtics win a Championship this YR, it could certainly have everything to do with Shaquille O'Neal.
The Boston Celtics led the NBA in scoring efficiency; meaning, 'points per possession' w/Shaq in the line-up this season*. BOS had the most efficient offense in the league until Shaq's injury. Shaq averaged 67% from the field this YR. BOS has plenty of scoring w/Pierce, KG, Ray-Ray, Big Baby, Green, D. West, Rondo, etc. BOS does not need Shaq for points; they need his big body to clog up the paint & close lanes. Shaq demands a double team most of the time (which opens up 3-point shooting for Paul & Ray-Ray), & when teams don't, they usually pay. Shaq gets you easy points when he’s close to the basket. You have to foul him, which gets teams into the penalty quicker. Shaq also provides BOS w/6 more fouls to use down low banging bodies. But most of all, BOS held the best record in the Eastern Conference & had the #1 offense in the NBA when Shaq was starting. This is what led to D. Ainge trading K. Perkins (which I disagree with, but they weren't going to be able to re-sign him), because BOS' offense was more efficient w/Shaq in the line-up than any of their other big men. Every1 needs to realize that this is not the team that D. Ainge envisioned to be on the floor. Shaq was the main piece to this starting 5 down low. If Shaq wasn't there this YR, Perk would still be in BOS (& probably walk in the off-season). So, through the 1st round vs. NY & the 1st two games vs. MIA, you have not seen the REAL Boston Celtix. The only thing hurting BOS is Shaq not being available. Like any other player, he's useless if he's not on the floor.
Even despite the Perkins trade, BOS could have easily finished w/the best record in the East (possibly the league) w/o Shaq's injury. But instead he was out & J.O. was out also. BOS held their own throughout the season, but towards the end of the season the injuries finally caught up w/them, which led to CHI & MIA overtaking the top 2 spots in the East.
The Celtix best chance to win this series will be to win the next 4 games. Yes, 4 in a row. The next 2 @ home to tie the series @ 2-2. Then go back to MIA & steal 1 on the road (stealing game 5 will be easier then having to steal game 7) to go up 3-2, & come back to BOS & finish MIA off to advance to the Eastern Conf Finals. If BOS pulls this out, which I believe they can do, it will be because of the man w/the biggest body in the NBA:

There's only two teams this season that haven't lost three games in a row so that means that it will be 2-1 and Boston will win tonight!!!!!!!!!!!
