This is a series made in heaven and a match-up to watch for all ages. The tried and tested big three of Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Ray Allen versus the hyped celebrated trio of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh. Beantown vs. South Beach. Anyway you look at it, the Eastern Conference second round series between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat promises to be truly a blockbuster one. This could even rival the excitement of the NBA finals itself. This is the corridor leading to the main entrance towards banner 18 for the Celtics or a second championship for the Heat. The Celtics have won the regular season series with the heat, winning three out of four encounters, but of course this will have no bearing in the coming series. It is all back to square one, “Mano Y Mano”. So lets hear what James and Pierce have to say about the dream series, according to USA Today.
Lebron James: “This is the series everyone wanted.”
Paul Pierce: “We knew before the season that if we were going to get to where we need to be as a championship team, we knew we were going to have to play Miami. It's finally here. There's going to be a lot of hype around it like it's a championship series, but you've got to understand this is still just the second round but a very big second round. Because you have two potential teams that can win it all. I'm excited. This is a great stage for basketball. It's going to be great for fans.”
