Over the last 48 hours, Miami Heat fans have been through a roller coaster of emotions that often hit South Florida sports fans.
After a phenomenal performance from LeBron James and the rest of the Miami Heat resulted in a Game 6 victory, the series will return to Miami for an all-out battle for a ticket to the NBA Finals and Heat fans can be there to witness it.
Miami Heat superstar LeBron James went over, around, and through the Boston Celtics during an epic performance in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Apparently, Boston fans couldn't take getting thumped by the Heat.
LeBron James had 45 points and 15 rebounds, overwhelming the Boston Celtics and leading the Miami Heat to a 98-79 victory Thursday night that forced a Game 7 in the Eastern Conference finals.
It was just two years ago when Miami Heat superstar LeBron James walked off the court in Boston and removed his Cleveland Cavaliers jersey for the final time after suffering an ugly series ending loss at the hands of the Celtics. So a game that is for all the marbles for the Miami Heat is not without a large degree of irony.
The Miami Heat have their proverbial back against the wall as the team makes final preparations for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Boston Celtics.
Miami Heat fans are preparing for the worst as the team heads back to Boston to try and stave off elimination in the Eastern Conference Finals.
It's a spot that not many believed they would be in, but the Boston Celtics are just one win away from the NBA Finals.
The Miami Heat head back to Boston trying to stave off elimination in an arena that has proven to be kryptonite to the Heat's supermen.
As the Miami Heat stand on the verge of elimination from the Eastern Conference Finals, many are starting to ask is this the swan song for the Big Three if a championship can't be won this year?
As the Miami Heat walked off the court after Game 5, the reality began to set in for the players and the fans; it looks like another season full of promise is going to come up short of even the NBA Finals this year.
Kevin Garnett finished with 26 points and 11 rebounds, Paul Pierce hit a 3-pointer over LeBron James with just under a minute left and the Boston Celtics moved one win away from an Eastern Conference title by beating the Miami Heat 94-90 on Tuesday night.
Chris Bosh has gone through his auditions. The Boston Celtics say they're ready either way. It's now up to Heat coach Erik Spoelstra to decide if Bosh will play in Tuesday's Game 5 of the Eastern Conference finals.
Everyone knows that Miami Heat superstar LeBron James is the single most important star the team has to have on the floor. But it might surprise you who the second most important player the team needs on the floor to be successful.
It's sometimes hard to pin down just how important one player is for a team, but that's far from the case in the Eastern Conference Finals for Chris Bosh and Kevin Garnett.
The Boston Celtics nearly let Game 4 slip away, but held on to tie the Eastern Conference Finals at 2-2 as they head back to Miami for Tuesday night's Game 5.
Before the Celtics took Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals Sunday night, evening the series at two games apiece, point guard Rajon Rondo took a shot at the Miami Heat.
The Boston Celtics and Miami Heat needed overtime to decide Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals, but each of the teams had star players watching the deciding minutes from the bench.
It is looking like Miami Heat Big 3 will be intact for Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals Tuesday night.
The Celtics' big lead gone and leading scorer along with it, Rajon Rondo had a message for Kevin Garnett. "It's time," Rondo said. "We have to take the game over."
Everywhere Dwyane Wade turned, two Boston Celtics seemed to be waiting. And as long as Chris Bosh is out, he understands it's probably going to stay that way. The Celtics can double-team him without fear, knowing LeBron James is the only other Miami player who can consistently hurt them.
Kevin Garnett had 24 points and 11 rebounds and Rajon Rondo scored 21 points with 10 assists to lead the Boston Celtics to a 101-91 victory over the Heat in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals on Friday night, cutting Miami's lead in the series to 2-1.
It's not a Game 7, but for the Boston Celtics, Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals against the Miami Heat may be just as big. The Celtics know they need to leave it all on the floor and pull out a win Friday or else the series is likely over.
A duo of players helped power the Miami Heat in Game 2 Wednesday night; but it was someone besides the Big Two of LeBron James and Dwyane Wade.
