The Celtics just ran the Heat a week ago 91-72 at home and it was fueled by a triple double from Rajon Rondo. Tonight is surely going to be a tougher match up, the Heat haven't been so great the past couple weeks and have gone 6-4 in the past 10.

Like last match up the Celtics have one serious match up problem for the heat in Rajon Rondo. He makes Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole look like a bunch of scrubs out there and his penetration makes the whole Heat team collapse freeing up shots for Ray Allen, Paul Pierce, KG and Brandon Bass.

I am excited to see how Avery Bradley does on Dwayne Wade again. Last time he made Wade's life miserable and if he shuts him down again, it would make the game a lot easier. If the Heat were smart, they would use LeBron and Wade on the post a lot more. Lebron and Wade could use their size on the smaller Pierce and Bradley.

I expect a lot of wholes in the Heat defense which means open shots for Bass and KG and if they are hitting this game should go the way of the C's.

Celtics 99-92
Tommy Award: Rajon Rondo
