Celtics beat Miami...again...Lebron still can't hack it with the C's

Rondo showing the Heat what's up

   Celtics took down the Heat for the third time this year, for a record on the season of 3-0. For me, this was the most meaningful game between the two, since the two teams have changed over the course of the season from the last time they met. KG and Pierce went 5 for 24...pierce himself was held to 0 and 10 for 1 point on the game (he was being covered by Lebron). After all, the Miami Heat are the #1 defense in the league. I'll give them credit where credit is due.

The Celtics were down going into the second half, but absolutely shredded the Miami D in the third quarter. The story of the third quarter was Rondo. Apparently he gave a halftime speech to the locker room, and came out swinging. He also decided HE was going to cover Lebron James for some of the second half, proving that you can get in his head and take him out of the game by simply digging into his ribcage and keeping his back turned to the basket. He is notoriously bad when it comes to playing with his back to the hoop.

Von Wafer came out of nowhere with the C's bench decimated by non-serious injuries right now (both O'Neals are out, Robinson has a sore knee, Marquise Daniels is Marquise Daniels, and Delonte West still has a broken wrist, Semih Erden was...in a sport coat...), putting up 10 points and going 2 for 3 on 3 pointers. Meanwhile, Miami was God awful all day shooting 3 pointers up to the last shot with Bosh blowing a wide-open 3 pointer to tie the game.

Rondo really stepped it up for this matchup. He covered Lebron well even though he's the smallest guy on the court and Lebron outweighs and can outplay him any day. Rondo has proven once again why he is a Boston Celtic.I loved when Rondo marched right over into the Miami huddle too. Good stuff.

The Celtics snapped the 8-game winning streak of the heat, their 3-game losing streak to Dallas, Lakers, and Bobcats, seized the #1 spot in the Eastern Conference, and showed Miami once again who's boss. It's like Miami wins a few games, starts calling themselves the Fucking Heatles, then we break em down and bring em back to Earth once more when they start getting uppity and arrogant, That's how we do.

Did the Heat lose this game or did Boston win? I think the answer is obvious, Boston won. Talk about turnovers the first half, and Boston dominates. We have Lebron figured out, he's not a problem. He is damn good defensively though (see Paul Pierce stats). But he just couldn't hack it when it came time to make those two critical foul shots to tie the game. Meanwhile, Big Baby Davis drilled down BOTH of his foul shots, to up the C's lead to three points. Also, KG made his critical jump shot...Chris Bosh couldn't. That's why we're the Big Three, and they're the 'Heatles'.

Anytime someone wants to say "Miami is the best team going right now" just think back to how the Celtics have their number, and beat their brains in whether they're up north or down south. Yeah the Heat are good but the Celtics are better. And we're slightly bruised and banged up and they're not. We would have smoked them by 10 or 15 if Shaq was healthy and we had some sort of inside game against them. So yeah, we'll see you in april, then in the playoffs. Meanwhile, enjoy the weather down in Miami Lebron...we'll be up here winning.
