Why Rajon Rondo Wasn’t Enough to Lift the Celtics Over the Heat
Rajon Rondo pulled off an historic night – Not getting a second’s rest, playing 53 minutes, scoring 44 points while adding 10 assists and 8 rebounds. He was shooting like crazy from beyond the arc (at a garbage time finish) and from long range. And it was nearly enough. But it takes more to beat the Miami Heat with LeBron James and Dwayne Wade.

Boston Celtics Lost the Game – Referees Didn’t Give it to Miami Heat
Instead of trying to convince everyone of how the non-call on Rajon Rondo being fouled by Dwyane Wade ruined the game, the Boston Celtics need to figure out how to win Game 3 and stay alive in this series. In a Conference Finals of adjustments, having James and Wade isn’t enough for the Heat. They’re simply making better adaptations to the situations.

Big Plays From LeBron James & Dwyane Wade Overcome Career Night from Rajon Rondo
Rajon Rondo didn’t rest for a second, playing 53 minutes and scoring a career high of 44 points. It was only enough to get the Celtics into overtime against the Miami Heat, losing 111-115 to go down 0-2 as they head back to Boston.

Rajon Rondo, the Boston Celtics’ Only Chance
When Rajon Rondo finally managed to pull off his usual pump-fake and spin to get himself an open look in the Heat’s pain, he got rejected by LeBron James and landed straight on his face. Typical for the way the Celtics performed during their bad stretches in Game 1, and an ominous sign for the rest of the series.

Why the Heat – Celtics Series Makes the Best Finals in the Eastern Conference
I’ll tell you a little secret – I was rooting for the Philadelphia 76ers to make it out. Not that they were such underdogs against a flawed, old and inconsistent Boston Celtics team. But they were the inferior of the two contestants. Eventually, the lack of a go-to-guy on offense was too much for the little 8th seed that almost could.

Dwyane Wade Brings His Best to Cap Off Comeback Trilogy
What a difference a week makes. Dwyane Wade scored only 5 points in Miami’s first game in Indiana, en route to a 75-94 defeat. Chris Bosh out; LeBron James without any help. The Pacers actually looked like the better team and sudden favorites to win the series.

Nothing Wrong With Some Dirtiness in the NBA Playoffs
It’s hard to speak in favor of violence without coming out as a complete villain or douche, but it’s hard to argue about the fact that people love seeing athletes go at each other. Udonis Haslem hit Tyler Hansbrough instead of blocking him for what the Pacers Forward did to Dwyane Wade earlier on. Retaliation, in the right kind of limits, isn’t something to be frowned upon.

With LeBron James and Dwyane Wade Playing Like This, The Pacers Have No Chance
The Indiana Pacers lost their focus; They lost their respect for the Miami Heat. On the way they lost Danny Granger, who’s trash talking and behavior only infuriated the Heat in the last two games, pushing LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to play like the best duo in the NBA and on the planet.

Heat Need LeBron James & Dwyane Wade to Play Like This All the Time
This is what people people expect LeBron James and Dwyane Wade to do every game. To tell you to the truth? This is what they’ll have to do to make it out of this series and for the Miami Heat to get through the Indiana Pacers and anyone else they might come across in the postseason.
