Nothing sums up the differences between the Heat and the Celtics than this video posted on CSNNE.com.

By ⋅ June 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Is Boston Mayor Tom Menino watching the same team we are? Did Danny Ainge make a last ditch effort to sure up his bench by securing mystery players named KJ and Hondo? No, that’s right, he was talking about KG and Rondo. I suppose we should be used to it. Remember when Menino openly mocked [...]
