Celtics dominated the first three meetings between the teams during the regular season, but lost big in Miami in their last match. During the playoffs this year Celtics have flashed their dominant defense and Rajon Rondo proved to be a game changer when he is aggressive. Miami rotation of starters on many occasions against the 76ers, trying to find someone not named Bosh, Wade and Bron involved. Whatever the bench played Miami to count on their Big 3 of everything.
Celtics have managed to sweep the Knicks injury riddled, but the heat will go so easily.
Here are some questions we have for the series.
1. How to defend Miami Rondo?
Mario Chalmers and Mike Bibby can not defend Rondo at break and Dwyane Wade put on Rondo could limit its rating so badly needs. If Rondo attack, God forbid, his rider falls, the heat will be in big trouble.
2. Which bank will be shown?
Bank of Boston is still trying to figure out exactly what she wants, Doc Rivers. Jermaine O'Neal played years younger in the first round, and Jeff Green has shown the potential that led the Celtics to trade for him at midseason. Miami has turned many times in the list of the first round, and no doubt will have to increase some of the pressure of Big Heat
3. Does Shaq play?
Celtics did not need Shaq against the Knicks, but his presence within it will be necessary to Dwyane Wade and LeBron James running several times in the basket.
