Boston Celtics vs Miami Heats (Eastern Conference Finals Game 2)

I am a little tired tonight and as there is nothing much to write, I am going to keep this short and simple.

Advantage after what I have seen in Game 1: Miami Heats (isn't it obvious?)

What the Celtics need to do to win this game?

1) Rajon Rondo need to show up! Not like how he did in Game 1 where he had 4 turnovers in the first 4 minutes. But the Rondo that we are accustomed to seeing, the one who makes triple double like a walk in the park needs up show up and get it done.

2) Ray Allen needs to put what he has been experiencing so far behind and remind us once again why he is one of the best shooters of the game. Its good to hear that the Celtics does not intend to sit or "bench" Allen for his dismal performance so far but continue to put faith in him. The thing is they don't really have any other choice, there is no other player in the bench (no disrespect to the Boston bench) who is able to fill Ray Allen shoes at all. There is no decent replacement either.

3) Kevin Garnett needs to exert himself early in the game and take full advantage of the matchup against the Heats which is fully in his favor. Once that is done, things will start to flow for Boston, holes will open up for Allen to shoot and the offense for Boston will flow better. Kevin Garnett started off the game really slowly that is why the Celtics struggled to score in the first quarter. Well not just Garnett but the entire Celtics fell asleep in the first quarter.

4) The Celtics have one simple and main goal in this coming Game 2 and that is to last and finish the game. If they cannot even do that like what we have seen in the third quarter onwards in Game 1, the Heats will bulldoze Boston once again and take Game 2 with ease. Pierce faded away as soon as the game started for Game 1. I guessed it must be the fatigue, but no excuse this time the Celtics have alot to prove after Game 1.


What the Heats need to do to win this game?

Simple. Continue what they did in Game 1 with Lebron James and Dwayne Wade elevating their game. But I guess if the same Boston the one in Game 1 show up for tomorrow, I guess Lebron and Wade don't even have to hit fourth gear to lead the Heats to a victory.


Conclusion

Bosh is likely to miss tomorrow's game. I don't see any reason to risk Bosh at this moment. The Heats in all honesty, is in cruise control.

Alright, that's all for me and see you guys tomorrow!
