The most anticpated game of the season, The Old Big 3 vs. The New Big 3. The story lines of Celtics vs. Lebron. A rematch of last years playoff series vs D-Wade and the Heat. Shaq vs. his old teammates. This has the potential to be the Superbowl of football or the World Series of baseball, when in fact it is only the first game of the new season. Let's be honest here, does it mean a little more then your average first game? Sure. For the Celtics it would be an additional mental win. For the Heat, they'd sure be happy getting their first W, and starting the season.
But in an 82 game season, 1 game doesn't mean a whole lot. We can expect to see both of these teams playing in the post-season, and we already know neither team honestly expects to go 82-0.
I will fully support the Celtics, and will laugh in Miami's face if that huge decision led to an 0-1 start. Nonetheless, I expect a great game, and a good start to the 2010-2011 NBA season.
Go Celtics... 97-92 Green!
Awesome game! Ray Allen was a beast.
