Boston<\/strong><\/p>\n

They squared off with the Heat a little more than a week ago in Boston and handled them easily winning by 19 points. \u00a0That victory got the attention of the league that this team is still one to be reckoned with. \u00a0The problem is that when they are away from the new Garden this team isn\u2019t nearly as good.<\/p>\n

In that beatdown against Miami the Celtics were all over the Heat defensively. \u00a0Since the team has found roles for young players Avery Bradley and Brandon Bass this team has a new found energy. \u00a0The duo scored 18 points each in their recent win against Philadelphia and if they don\u2019t shrink in the spotlight they could be the reason this team exceeds expectations from here on out. \u00a0Lets also not forget this team has stars in Ray Allen, Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Rajon Rondo too.\u00a0\u00a0[soliloquy id=”82219″]<\/p>\n

Miami<\/strong><\/p>\n

For a team that is supposed to be good why do the Miami Heat get blown out so much. \u00a0This team has only 15 total losses on the season but nearly half of them (7) have been by 10 more points. \u00a0Sometimes it appears that they just give up in certain games and I just don\u2019t like seeing that in a supposed championship contender. \u00a0Four of those losses have been in the last 10 games and they are looking to avenge the one against Boston Tuesday night at home where they are 24-3.<\/p>\n

In the loss to the Celtics the Heat shot absolutely horribly. \u00a0Chris Bosh, Norris Cole and Mario Chalmers were a combined 5 for 26 and even Dwayne Wade was a less than stellar 6 for 17. \u00a0Uglier stlll this team shot 7 for 17 from the free throw line. \u00a0NBA teams are not supposed to do that. \u00a0They are sure to come with a more respectable effort against Boston this time around. \u00a0The Wade and Lebron James love to have their manhead tested and will most likely respond.<\/p>\n

Spread Pick: \u00a0Boston +8.5
\nO\/U Pick: \u00a0Under
\nScore Prediction: \u00a0Miami 89 – Boston 84<\/strong><\/p>\n
