Earlier this evening, the Boston Celtics beat the Miami Heat in Miami in game 5 of the NBA eastern conference finals, 94-90. The Celtics rode the double-double of Kevin Garnett as well as good play from Rajon Rondo, Mikael Pietrus, and Paul Pierce, who had 19 points, including a late three-pointer to put the game out of reach. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade of the Heat combined for 57 points in the loss, while injured forward Chris Bosh (abdominal strain) came off the bench to play for the first time since his injury during game 2 of the conference semifinals against the Indiana Pacers. The next game will be played Thursday night in Boston, where Miami must win or go home. A Celtics victory there would mark a significant upset and send Boston to the the championship against either the San Antonio Spurs or the Oklahoma City Thunder. That series is 3-2 in favor of OKC.
I am a big fan of the NBA, and have been paying close attention to the playoffs. I'm hoping for a Celtics-Spurs championship match up, but as of right now, I predict a Celtics-Thunder series instead, which should never the less be interesting and exciting.
