Wow…
…just when we all wrote off the Heat as finished (admit it – you did too), they come back with a monster game and demolish the Celtics to send the series to Game 7. LeBron quieted all the critics with a beastly, essential 45 points. I was hardly exaggerating when I told my dad earlier in the day that LBJ needed 50 for the Heat to win. You just have to wonder about a team that is so inconsistent – a tale of two teams, really. The Heat can look unstoppable or completely confused and out of sync. Also, the Celtics were completely “brick” all night long. KG couldn’t even put in shots from point blank range. Because of Miami’s inconsistency and the Celtics’ surprisingly terrible shooting night, we can’t rule out the Celtics for a Game 7 win in Miami like we ruled out the Heat for a win tonight. The Celtics have too much on the line (a potential breakup of the big 3) and too much heart to come out with a dud in Game 7. Meanwhile, the Thunder are smiling to themselves as they get another day to rest and watch their future opponent…
