Team Heat!

Today was an exciting day. My team, the Miami Heat went up against the Boston Celtics for the forth time this season. Each time a heartach, except today! It was a tense game for sure. I'm not quite sure what it is, but the Celtics have a way of getting into other team's skin. And today's game was just like any other game vs. the Celtics... they were getting into the Heat's skin.
Midway through the second, as James was going up for a layup, O'Neal (not Shaq, but Jermaine O'Neal) threw his sholder into James. James being the player he is, in return threw the ball and hit O'Neal's back. Some people might not like this type of play, but this is how I see it. It was clear O'Neal was trying to hurt James in some way, and anytime James sinces himself or a teammate in danger, he reacts. I saw him do this during a game a few months ago. Someone was trying to injure Wade, and James reacted. He's not a hot head. He's just protecting his "family".
Well, refs called a T on James, and a flagrant on O'Neal. During this comotion, Pierce pushed Wade aside, and Wade pushed back. Causing a double T.
Just over 2 minutes later, the ball was lose and Wade went after it. Rondo then pushed Wade back and dived after the ball. Rondo not really having the ball even after the dive, Bosh then went down to grab it. Refs called it Celtics ball (which it was clearly a jump ball). At Bosh's surprise, he got really mad, getting himself a T as well. Like I said, it was a tense game... and this was still all in the first half.
Second half came around and it wasn't as bad as the first, but it was still pretty heated. I was holding my breath for most of it. And my dad was getting a little irritated.
At the end Heat sealed it with a 23 point lead, 100-77. The clock was still going when Celtics left for their locker room.... Can we say sweet victory?
But I am still amazed that my favorite player in the NBA, Lebron James, would have ever gone to the Miami Heat! My team since 2002! I can remember how I found out. I almost passed out... really! What a day to remember!
Him and Wade, along with Bosh, make the Dream Team!
I am proud to be a Heat Fan!
GO HEAT!!!!!
