Heat vs. Celtics Video: Watch Massive Difference Between Each Big Three Exposed
The battle of the Big Three will take place once again in Boston on Thursday night. While both the Celtics and Heat pose star-laden rosters, they couldn't be any more different.
That is the impetus behind a video posted over at CSNNE. The report that follows the video gives you insight into what you are about to watch, and they are spot on in their assessment:
"This is everything you need to know about the Celtics and the Heat, wrapped up in a nice, neatly packaged, 4-minute, 17-second video.
"
It's all in the first impressions.
This is a video about first impressions, followed by a gigantic wave of expectations. The Celtics' trio of Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen formed with great aplomb, but with a self-awareness that they had some things to prove to fans and themselves.
The Heat, including Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and LeBron James, were packaged as a plethora of titles. The only thing needed was the time to accomplish them.
The video shows two realities that occur when you bring some of the best in the game onto one team. For Boston, the stars measured expectations while the Heat exacerbated them.
The "Not One, Not Two..." speech is included, but more importantly, so is a long-forgotten press conference that seems muted by comparison.
Seriously, look at the room of reporters with Celtics staff and then look at the reception in Miami. Those, my friends, are polar opposites on how to welcome superstars to town.
The best part in the video—and one that may make Heat fans cringe—is James saying the Heat could run with Pat Riley and they would be fine.
Who needs role players?
The Heat are far from done, even if they lose this season, and this may just be two roads ending in the same place.
The only thing is, we know for sure that one way of doing things has already delivered a title.
