Miami looks to send a message to Boston : We're not scared of you

Round two of the battle between east coast heavyweights 
As you can tell by my previous posts, this is a very big game. There are many rivalries in this game, and these teams do not like each other by any means. This game is going to be intense, and deserves the national spotlight that it is receiving tonight on TNT. Lets break this game down to see what the Heat have to do in order to pull away with the big win tonight

Contain Rondo- This guy can not be allowed to get into the lane. He needs to be given different looks at all times and not aloud to create off the dribble and in transition. If he gets going, the Heat are going to have a lot of problems.

Hit the boards, HARD- No rebound can go uncontested. Every single shot that goes up Miami needs mean crashing the boards and grabbing that basketball. The Heat can not allow Davis, Garnett, and Shaq to dominate the boards.

Watch Allen on the fast break- Ray Allen has the quickest release in the game and likes to fan out to the 3 point line in transition. Make sure their are eyes on him at all times.

Stay calm- This is a huge game, but everyone has to be calm, cool, and collected. If their is any sign of panic the Celtics will strike. The Heat have to make sure Boston knows they are not holding anything back this game.

Keep the fans in the game- I have mentioned this many times before, but the Miami crowd can get wild. Keep them on their feet.

Here is what I would like form Miami's big 3 this game...

Bosh has been playing well. I want to see him take the open shot, and hit the boards hard. Also, taking the ball to the cup and getting one of the bigs in foul trouble would be a huge boost. I want to see 18 points from this guy tonight.

Wade needs to be the pure scorer we know he can be. We saw in against Utah that Wade gets hot quick. I want to see him start to get going early, and never stop. He needs to be a relentless attacker and let the Celts know their defense cannot rest for one second. Lets see Wade get some points tonight.

Last, but not least, LeBron. I have been hyping him up in previous posts, and for good reason. He does not like Boston, and wants to rip their heart out and step on it. I look for LeBron to be the Jack-of-all-trades this game. I want to see him hit the lane, play solid defense, shoot lights out, and find the open man. For any other player this is probably a lot to ask, but we have seen this before from LeBron so many times. I need him to set the pace of the game and speed the ball up when its appropriate. Finally, I want to see him crash the boards and scoop up and rebounds the bigs cant get to. I have a very good feeling about King James in this game.

Overall, this game will be intense. Theres going to be trash talk, hard fouls, big dunks, everything you can imagine in a great game. I think its going to be close, but I have think Miami is going to get it done tonight. Look for a solid game from Bosh, high scoring for Wade, and a great overall game from LeBron.

Hey Celtics, remember this guy?
Lets shut KG and the Celtics up.
Get em.
