Poll: Celtics vs. Heat - Who Will Win Eastern Conference Finals?

Game 2 is on Wednesday night in Miami, with the Heat up 1-0 in the series. Let's go Celtics!

 

 

The underdog Boston Celtics square off against the Miami Heat tonight at 8:30 p.m. in Game 2 of the NBA Eastern Confernce Finals.

The Heat took Game 1 after pulling away in the fourth quarter.

Both teams are beaten up with injuries, with the Heat's power forward Chris Bosh being out for several games; and the Celtics are without upstart shooting guard Avery Bradley, whose shoulders were both operated on last week. 

Kevin Garnett has looked like he drank a fountain of youth potion during much of this postseason, and Rajon Rondo has notched several triple-doubles.

But do the #4-seeded Celtics have enough to beat the heavily favored #2-seeded Miami Heat?

The Miami Heat were handed that game to them by the refs last night. No, the NBA is not rigged but the refs definitely want to see the Heat win. No doubt about that. It's a shame how Rajon Rondo played his heart out, Paul Pierce had to leave the game because the refs were scared of him being more clutch than LeChoke, Ray Allen playing through the pain and still knocking down big shot after big shot, and finally watching Kevin Garnett go for his final shot at a championship and have it being ruined because the refs LOVE the Heat. Yes, I still feel for Rondo, but he will have many chances at winning championships throughout his career, but for guys like Pierce, Garnett, and Allen it's just a shame. No, I'm not a biased Celtics fan. I really don't care about either team. I'm just a Pistons fan who happens to be watching these games closely and having to feel like I'm ready to cry because the refs are absolutely ruining the legacy of the ONLY Big 3. As far as my prediction for the rest of the series goes is, the Celtics will return home and play their hearts out in Games 3 and 4 to tie up the series. But then the old legs will finally give out, and will have more of an impact than their heart of a champion and LeBum will go to the Finals only to lose again to the red-hot Spurs. Predictions: Heat over Celtics in 6, Spurs over Thunder in 6, and finally Spurs over heat in 6.

Yeah, Austin! I totally think Game 2 was affected by the refs calling it for the Heat. Some of those calls, like in Game 1 were phantom, or just because the NBA wants Lebron and Wade to win. Good predictions.
