The Miami Heat and the Boston Celtics face off tonight in a battle that will bring back memories, but probably not live up to any hype built before the game. Check out the TV schedule with channel info and time as the Celtics and Heat battle.
TV Channel- Where to Watch: SunSpM, CSN-NE
Time: 7:30 p.m. ET
When the whistle blows, the Celtics will be without Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce, their two leaders. However, the Heat will see a lot of familiar faces as almost the entire 2012-2013 Brooklyn Nets roster was transferred over to Boston. The Celtics have yielded little results with their new team, but they are picking things up as they take a mini winning streak to Miami.
The Celtics beat up the Utah Jazz, picking up their first victory of the season. It took a dynamic Brandon Bass, who finished with a team-high 20 points against the Jazz. Gerald Wallace might be in the latter stages of his career, but he went 3-5 from teh floor, grabbing nine rebounds and scoring nine points in the evening. The Celtics are not depending on any single person as Rajon Rondo has been missing in action. In their following meeting, the Celtics defeated the Orland Magic in a slim 91-89 victory. It took another team effort as the Celtics saw six of their players finish in double figures scoring. Bass once again led the way with 16 points scored.
The Heat are not trying to playing games, but they have looked sloppy early on. There is a team that is undefeated in the NBA and it is not Miami. The Heat are 4-2 in 2013, but they are coming off three consecutive wins after losing two straight to the aforementioned Nets and the Philadelphia 76ers. However, a perfect season basketball is almost impossible, so the Heat were expected to lose at some point. However, they will have to play better than they did last year and the year before since there are plenty of teams out their gunning for them and capable of stripping them of the NBA title.
LeBron James is always in tip-top shape and will need Dwyane Wade to continue playing through pain the way he has done throughout his career.
Do not forget, this game will be available locally for both radio and TV.
