Well, Boston. We wanted the Heat and we got the Heat. Miami was too hot for the Celtics to handle yesterday and the result was a 99-90 win in game one of the Eastern Conference semifinals. Dwyane Wade was the decisive player for Miami with a 38-point effort. James Jones added 25 points and five three-pointers.

It's hard to really review a banjo act and a train wreck at the same time, but that isn't stopping everyone from trying.

It's tough to lead with anything except Darnell McDonald this morning, but we're going to give it a try.

His hissy fit on Saturday lit a fire under the C's that nothing else had all year, and they responded - sans Garnett - with an old-school, defensive-minded, utter beatdown of Miami 106-75 (it wasn't, as they say, as close as the final score).
Today, we're not going to talk about YouKnowWhat XLII. Because there's nothing to talk about. Today, we're going to celebrate two big wins from our two local winter teams. (We will remind you, however, that we'll be live-blogging YouKnowWhat XLII starting 7:30ish on Sunday. Get your commentin' fingers in shape.)
Let's say you're going to the Celtics-Timberwolves game tonight. If you're like most of the people at Celtics games these days, chances are you weren't there last year. Which is perfectly legal on your part. But there's something you should know. Most of the Timberwolves played here last year, during that long, miserable 06-07 campaign, and several of them - promising, hardworking youngsters for the most part - were sent away to make room for the Celtics team you proudly cheer today.
