Heat

See, the Celtics had just closed out their series with the Heat (a game later than they should have, I know...) but as I said in my last post...ever since the very first night of the 2010 season, when the C's win, the Sox win.

hen Dwayne Wade had the game of his career against the Celtics in an elimination game 4 on the Heat's home court. 46 points, and it was an agressive 46. And yet, despite that super-heroic effort from The Flash, let's not forget that the Celtics came back from an 18 point deficit. They led 77-71 at the end of the third quarter.

Apparently the Miami Heat and the Phoenix Suns have agreed on a trade that would send Shaquille O'Neal to Phoenix in exchange for Shawn Marion and Marcus Banks. I believe this is simply a knee-jerk reaction to the Los Angeles Lakers' acquisition of Pau Gasol (a brilliant move by L.A., by the way) and do not see how this trade can make sense from the Suns' vantage point.
