Game 1 Eastern Conference Semi Finals: Celtics at Heat

The series that seemed predestined since LeBron James counted up his hypothetical Championships.  Thinking back now after looking at the picture above we should have known that Chris Bosh would have been the outcast in this superstar trio.  I mean, he couldn’t even get the uniform color scheme right.
