HEAT at Celtics opening day game thread

[dbestpro]

A 15 point lead should be nothing for the Heat. They need to push the ball more. The coach they need, unfortunately was hired by Cleveland.

i don't know. how is Pierce going to score on Lebron. Lebron is faster, stronger, taller.

He was the same when Pierce lit him up in the ECF ...his defense has gotten better and pierce 3 seasons older ...but the major difference is, then posey took Lebron some of the time ...now PP has to defend Lebron all game, Who is as you say bigger stronger and faster. That affect pierce's offense. Or maybe Pierce just sucks all of a suddden? I hate the prick but i think he could score ...

Still concerned about me I see. You need a hobby.

Bandwagon gots are always a concern of mine. So as long as your here I will continue to remind you of that. this is great to watch, these got riding Heat fans deserve it. Lakaluva we need ur azz in here

If Spoelstra keeps playing Arroyo with James and Wade, Riley really should convince him he needs more time with his family. As bad as the players look individually, the coaching has been abysmal. Instead of 1 iso offense of last year, its just 3 iso offense now.

Either go House, Wade, James, or Wade, James, Jones/Miller.

we need cully, kool, and luva send this dude to the tree of woe.

lol just keep making it worse for yourself. so when is your bandwagon ass gonna be gone?

He'll be gone soon enough

And Pierce is absolutely getting shut down by Lebron, per usual. He had a summers worth of energy this game, getting worn down on D is no excuse.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Boston hurting on the defensive glass

[Venti Quattro]

he's missed about 10 shots at the rim.

And so are the Heat. You got to keep him on the floor so he gets into that midseason-form, if he even still has that

[dbestpro]

Imagine when Perkins come back. That's a lot of beef inside for Boston.

i think PP can score on most SFs. On Lebron, ??

[Killakobe81]

LOL Lebron post game is sooo fluid. I want Lebron slashing and dunking until he gets better foot-work his wack post-game. I want him to dunk on shaq not post up Pierce ...

[DeadlyDynasty]

here we go...starting to get interesting...

[peskypesky]

Boston getting sloppy and letting Miami back in.

[TinTin]

nooooooooooooooooooooooo eddie house's beard is gone

[HarlemHeat37]

The Perkins-Shaq dilemma will be interesting..Perkins is obviously a much better defender, but he gives them no advantage inside offensively at all..Shaq is still a pretty decent offensive player..

[ElNono]

lol the Pierce flop

[The Franchise]

That was a bull call!!!

You guys mayybe right ...but guarding Lebron maybe the hrdest task in the NBA from a physical stand-point.

[peskypesky]

refs

[Killakobe81]

LOL Lebron getting calls get over it will happen quite a bit ...

[Quit Hatin']

yup bad call. the refs just working their magic

[HarlemHeat37]

Bad call there, one of the few that has gone against Boston tonight..

[DeadlyDynasty]

paul pierce has the most punchable face

Two things:

1) If the Heat go on a little run and cut it to 5-6 going into the 4th, watch out.

2) I actually like the fact that you are not seeing complaints from the players. I am glad you are not seeing a lot of T's because the players have learned. Worked out better than I thought.
