                                       Mitten State Sports Report's Series Notes:





-  The Celtics '86' would have a big advantage over the Heat '13' in the frontcourt.  Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish would both have a huge impact in a 7 game series.


-  LeBron James vs. Larry Bird would be epic.   Both players would score, and potentially cancel each other out.


-  The Celtics '86' would struggle with the speed, and quickness of Dwyane Wade, and the rest of the Heat.


-  The Heat '13' have a solid bench with players like Ray Allen, and Shane Battier.  Rashard Lewis, Chris "Bird Man" Anderson, and Norris Cole would all be x-factors in a 7 game series.


-  The Celtics were 15-3 during the 1986 NBA Playoffs! They won the 1986 NBA Championship!


-   The Heat were 16-7 during the 2013 NBA Playoffs!  They won the 2013 NBA Championship!
