The Heat’s Dwyane Wade promised retaliation if the Celtics follow through on their threats to have Wade and LeBron James “hit the deck” in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals on Wednesday night. “Obviously, you’ve got to protect yourself,” Wade said Tuesday after practice. “We’re men, just like they’re men. We’re not going to let nobody just come in and punk us.” Shortly after the Heat routed the Celtics in Game 1 on Monday night, Boston’s Rajon Rondo talked about the need to send Miami’s top players to the court when they drive to the basket.
