The Miami Heat have won 22 straight games and are going for 23 tonight against the Boston Celtics. The Heat will have to play this one in Boston so you can guarantee the stadium will be packed. When one team is on a major win streak, like the Heat are right now, they are going to get the other teams best night in and night out. If you get Boston's best on their home court it is very unlikely you will win.
Boston has the players to match up with the Heat. Lebron will do his thing, but Chris Bosh has to deal with Kevin Garnett which is no easy task and Wade will have to deal with underrated defender Avery Bradley. I do not know if Bosh will be able to handle Garnett because he brings too much intensity for Bosh to deal with. I also think that will be the deciding factor in the game.
The crowd will be rowdy. They will not let the Heat win this one easily. This may be the loudest crowd of the year for Boston. Boston is also on a mission to move up from the 6th seed and try to snag home court advantage. They are only 2.5 games behind the Knicks which is scary for the Knicks since they are only a little over .500 since their great start.
I predict Boston will win this 98-90 in a tough grind it out type of game. I also have Garnett getting a double double while he basically shuts down Bosh.
Even if the Heat lose ESPN wont stop talking about their streak even though the Nuggets would then have the longest streak in the NBA at 12.
