re: Potential Pacers vs. Heat matchup...

Boston is giving the ball to Paul Pierce way too much. Sure, he was awesome in Game 2; but Rondo was out.
Rondo and Garnett are the two best players on the Celtics. They should pick and pop nearly every possession. It's impossible to guard with how well Garnett is shooting from 15-20 feet.
Garnett is also really solid right now in one-on-one situations in the post. You don't double, he can get any shot he wants, whether it's shooting over you or fading away. You double, and he's one of the best passing big man in the game to go along with smart guys who cut well to the basket like Rondo, Bradley, Allen, etc.
However, Miami can turn it on defensively like almost no other team. Boston would have to shoot the ball really well in order to win the series. I love their chances at home against Miami, especially with the Heat's struggles on the road. However, with Miami having home-court, I don't think Boston can beat them. But if they can get it to a 7th game, things would be interesting. Lots of pressure on both teams, with Boston having more experience in that situation, if that's worth anything.

What difference does that make? They've been in front of loud crowds before.
Seriously? Home court in NBA is more important than in any other sport. You've seen what playing on the road does to the Saints in the playoffs. It's even more tilted in basketball with an insane home crowd.

Crowds can get taken out of the game easier in basketball. Harder to do that in football unless you just completely blow the other team out.

That's the thing the Hawks have going for them, not much difference in playing in Atlanta or in Boston when it comes to the crowd 
If Atlanta steals Game 6 and makes Boston play another I think it really will start showing on Boston if they get to the ECF

Heat 4-1 is more likely than Heat 4-0.
