Heat win 23rd straight, own second-best streak

LeBron James made the go-ahead jumper with 10.5 seconds left to lead Miami to its 23rd consecutive victory, 105-103 over the Boston Celtics on Monday night. Five years to the day after the Celtics snapped Houston's winning streak at 22 games, James scored 37 points and made the go-ahead basket with 10.5 seconds left in Miami's 105-103 victory on Monday night.

Doc, Celtics Focused On Heat - NBA.com (blog)

No one can accuse Doc Rivers of being anything other than a pragmatist. It makes no sense for the coach of the Boston Celtics to worry himself with the Los Angeles Lakers and what goes on in the Western Conference when Rivers and his crew have to contend with the reigning NBA champion Miami Heat in their own conference.

Allen chooses to sign with Miami Heat

Ray Allen will take less money for a chance at anotherNBA championship. Allen told the Miami Heat on Friday night that he intends to accept their contractoffer and leave Boston after five seasons, even though the Celtics could pay him about twice as much as the reigning NBA champions will be able to next season. Miami could only offer Allen the mini mid-level, worth about $3 million a year.

Senh: I'm surprised. He's taking less money to go for another championship ring. The Heat are stacked. If they get Marcus Camby too, it's over for everyone.

NBA Finals: I Was Rooting for Old Fart vs. Old Fart

Sun, 06/10/2012 - 12:29am — senh

I know it would probably be the most boring NBA Finals ever, but I was kinda rooting for the old farts - San Antonio Spurs and Boston Celtics. I wouldn’t mind if either wins another title, especially the Boston Celtics. I like these teams because there aren’t anyone with a super-huge ego, except for maybe Paul Pierce - but compared to Lebron James, it’s pretty small.

In Celtics-Heat Series, Refs Favoring Heat So Far

Mon, 06/04/2012 - 10:29am — senh

I’ve been watching the Boston Celtics battle the Miami Heat in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, and so far the referees seem to favor Miami. I’ve written about the obvious late non-call on Dwyane Wade when he slapped Rajon Rondo’s face during a layup in game two. That non-call lead to a fast-break and two extra points for the Heat. It’s a four point swing that decided that game.
