Gresh & Zo: Celtics Carrying Major Momentum Into Game 5

Gresh and Zo opened Monday's show talking about the Celtics big win over the Heat in Game 4 of the Eastern Conference Finals to knot the series at 2-2.

The Celtics had an 18-point lead in the first half, but needed overtime to beat the Heat 93-91.

'That was as entertaining a game to watch that, we haven't only seen in this series, but seen all year," Gresh said of the overtime thriller.

"You're now down to best of three, and this literally is the coin flip," Gresh said of Tuesday's Game 5 in Miami. "I didn't think we'd be sitting here at 2-2, under any circumstances... The Celtics are carrying major momentum into Game 5."

"This is a must-win for the Miami Heat; from their perspective and their mind when you talk about the psychological advantage," said Zolak. "Let's face it, youth, athleticism, everything favored Miami. But it's back to the intangibles; the beliefs, and lack of hesitation. At the end of the games, when something is on the line, the Celtics don't whizz down their legs and there is something to be said for that."

Gresh and Zo also discussed Rajon Rondo's halftime thoughts on the Heat, who he said were crying to the refs every trip down the floor.

"That's directed specifically at Dwyane Wade. LeBron, Paul, KG, they do it when they get into the game. But the guy that is doing it right away is Dwyane Wade, and it's hurting his game," said Gresh. "If he would shut up and shoot and go to the rack, or shut up and work off LeBron's drive... LeBron has been able to get to the hole pretty easily this series. One on one he has been  nearly unstoppable getting to the rim. Dwayne Wade, you can't say the same thing."
