NBA Playoffs 2011 Eastern Conference: Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat Live - Watch Boston Celtics VS Miami Heat Live via ABC TV Network held at AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL. LeBron James planned to spend a large part of Saturday studying film, looking for any edge that the Miami Heat may use against the Boston Celtics.
The inability to beat Boston is one of the biggest reasons why James is now wearing a Miami Heat uniform. He'll get a third attempt to top the Celtics in a postseason series starting Sunday when the teams collide in Game 1 of what may easily become an epic Eastern Conference semifinal.
Unwittingly or not, the Celtics played a huge role in setting up an offseason unlike any other in NBA history. Boston gave James a big push toward Miami for a strength-in-numbers approach with the Heat that wasn't possible during the two-time MVP's stint with the Cavaliers.
Collectively, Lebron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh figure to rate a better opportunity, and that theory is about to get put to the real test. They left a combined $51 million on the bargaining table last summer, and victory in this best-of-seven game series may make that money seem exceptionally well-spent.
Meanwhile, Heat wins over 76ers 97-91 Wednesday night game. While their rival tonight Boston Celtics also had a victory against New York Knicks Sunday, April 24, 2011.
