LeBron James came out with fury and intensity, he was determined to beat Boston and bring the series to a final game 7. When LeBron is in this mode he is the best player in the league. He was 19-26 from the field for 45 points and he also pulled down 15 rebounds. He was so sensational that people, including me, will forget about the 5-9 shooting from the line. LeBron was looking to win this game and he was hitting all of his jump shots which doesn't always happen. The next highest scoring Heat player was D-Wade who only had 17 points. No other player was even in double figures for the Heat. It was a good sign for the Heat that Bosh played 28 minutes and he could possibly start in game 7 which would give a huge edge to the Heat.
The Celtics just played terrible and Rondo was the only player to have a good game. He had 21 points and 10 assists, but was -25. Garnett only had 12 points and 5 rebounds and Pierce suffered from another bad shooting night. The Celtics need to hit their shots to have a chance to win in game 7. We know Rondo will come to play, but this last games hinges on Garnett to dominate inside and Pierce needs to have a good shooting night to make an impact. Ray Allen has come on slowly and the Celtics could use his 3 point shooting in game 7.
I expect the Celtics to win games 7. They had an off night while Lebron played one of the best games of his career. He won't be hitting all of his jump shots again. I expect Kevin Garnett to come to play and have around 25 points and 12 rebounds. Ray Allen will get hot and start hitting his 3's. The Heat need someone to step up and it looks like it will have to be LeBron, but I have my doubts if he can do it twice in a row. Wade needs to step up and they will get a boost of Bosh can start. I have the Celtics winning game 7 94-93 behind Garnett and Pierce.
