But maybe the real demon in James' life is Tom Thibodeau, the current head coach of the Chicago Bulls and a former assistant in Boston when the C's gave the former MVP fits. James and his Miami teammates will hope to bounce back from a drubbing at the hands of Thibodeau and top-seeded Chicago when the Eastern Conference finals res |

You can make a strong argument that the Boston Celtics are the reason LeBron James and Dwyane Wade, along with Chris Bosh, joined forces during the offseason in South Beach. After all it was the C's that dispatched Wade's Heat in five games during the 2010 quarterfinals before knocking out James' Cleveland Cavaliers in six during the semis en route to their second Eastern Conference crown in three years. A year later, it's Miami's "Big Three" |
