David vs Goliath



This is the premier rematch of the century (no offense to the Lakers) but this game may vary well determine who will rule the east.. Tonights match up is The Celtics going against the Heats at the heats home.. Round 1 was won by the Celtics by an eight point lead. 88-80 but make no mistake the Heat weren't playing their best game and wade was rusty that being said the manage to lose by eight to a team where Rondo had four points but a whopping 17 assist this kids amazing. Rondos coming into the game averaging damn near 15 assist 14.8 to be exact with 11 points to boost.

The Celtics 6-2 can not afford to lose this game because if injuries continue to plague them then i'm sorry they will not win the east with their starting five. Their strength is their toughness and never back down attitude so be prepared to be scared when the games over the only finesse player on their team is Rondo and thats saying little because they are deadliest when he is dishing out assists. Paul pierce is averaging a health 19.6 points while Garnett will mostly win the most hated player in the league award is averaging a healthy double 15 and 10 and Ray Ray Allen is averaging 17 points this team is deadly.

The Heat 5-3 are not performing to what was expected of them but this is the beginning of the season and mike miller is not healthy when he becomes healthy he will take some shoulder load off Lebron James at the point. Dwayne wade shook off the horrendous first game on route to averaging a nice 26.0 and has lead the heat in scoring their last four games. Lebron James hasn't missed a beat its as if he never left Cleveland he's averaging 20 points 6 (5.5) rebounds and 9 (8.6) assists. Finally Chris Bosh he's not a bad player but he will look like a role player compared to Lebron and Wade until he finds his niche and rhythm but until then he will continue to get beat on the defensive side as pointed by every power forward the heats have faced. He is averaging a regular 15 points and 6 rebounds.

Weakness: The Celtics only weakness against the Heat should be their age and depth as some of their key players are injured and the only O'neal playing today is Shaq (c'mon son) so the heat's should look to run the ball and play up tempo. The Heats only weakness is in stopping rondo from driving and their post defensive who will guard rondo certainly not arroyo so whichever decides to do so wade or Lebron will leave a heavy scorer open. Pandora box and should they double up Garnett Shaq can still score and so can every other Celtic player.

Strength: the Celtics should spread the ball around and look to the post early. Miami with their length and athleticism should capture both defensive and offensive rebound as well as force turnovers.

Who will guard who? Who will win? Who will rule the east?
