gpikeBoston on the ropes vs Miami on Wednesday
May 11th 2011 01:36
Paul Pierce had a chance to win the game for the Celtics in regulation with the score tied up at 86. Instead the shot went off, as did the Celtics chances in this series with Miami. What a marathon game we were treated too after the opener went overtime. It took Oklahoma City three overtimes to beat Memphis and tie the series up at two games apiece. Now the series shifts back to Oklahoma City in a series when teams with the home court advantage doesn't matter much.
Boston had their chance to tie this series up, couldn't do it and now Miami will end it tomorrow. The big three did what they were supposed to do with scoring 83 of Miami's 98 points. Chris Bosh had his first good game of the series while Lebron James filled up the stat sheet. James scored 35 points, 14 rebounds and three assists. Dwayne Wade chipped in 28 points and nine rebounds.
Rajon Rondo with his bum elbow isn't the same. Neither are the hurting Celtics who are falling left and right and nobody is there to step up. Pierce did most of the scoring with 27 points in game four's loss. Kevin Garnett who had been outplaying Bosh, went 1-10 from the field. If the forward continues this trend, Boston will end up on the outside looking in for sure. Miami puts the Celtics out of their misery with the win here.
Game four was Memphis's big chance to gain a huge advantage in the series. Just when you thought they were going to get the win, something bad would happen and Russell Westbrook or Kevin Durant would score on the other side of the court. This Thunder team has great persistance. They are a very difficult team to keep down for long with their two great players. James Harden came up as a key contributor, adding 19 points, seven rebounds and seven assists.
Mike Conley made a bad blunder in the first overtime when instead of driving to the hoop, he decided to pull the ball back out and shoot a three pointer. The shot went off, and he fouled out a few moments later. Zach Randolph for all the good he did, still looked tired down the stretch of the game. Marc Gasol kept his motor going for the whole game, and O.J. Mayo was a great contributor once again for the Grizzlies. Oklahoma City grabs the win with the home fans at their back in game five. Once again this series looks like a seven game showcase.

James Harden and Oklahoma City will fight fatigue as they hope for a one game advantage in a war with Memphis
