Key Matchup: Paul Pierce vs. LeBron James
No pressure, but for the Heat to win Game 7, LeBron
will need to deliver another otherworldly performance. He is just not
getting enough help from his teammates.
One thing that was largely overlooked in Game 6 is the job he did defensively on Pierce when they were matched up.
Pierce
finished the contest with only nine points on 4-for-18 shooting
(0-for-6 from beyond the arc) and must be at his best for Boston to win
Game 7 on the road.
The word "clutch" is often mentioned with
these two players, but in very different ways. Pierce is considered one
of the more clutch players in the league, while James frequently gets
criticized for his performance in those same situations.
I guess we will see who is really clutch on Saturday night.
Prediction
Common
sense would tell me to pick the Heat, especially considering the fact
that they haven't lost back-to-back games at home all season. But I have
a feeling Boston will make more shots in Game 7 and I'm concerned that
Miami's role players will not come through.
