Key stat 5.4 percent -  NBA teams that climbed out of an 2-0 hole to rally to win the series. Only 11 times in 202 attempts has a team that dropped the first two games of a series rallied to advance. The Celtics are in a 2-0 deficit for the first time in the Big Three Era after falling in consecutive games in Miami to start their series against the Heat.Injury that shouldn’t be overlookedSteve Sullivan, Nashville Predators: Sullivan was likely lost for the series against Vancouver when he suffered an undisclosed injury late in a Game 3 loss in Nashville. The forward has only two goals and an assist this postseason, but has been a Vancouver killer in his career, netting 15 goals – four game winners – and 15 assists in 37 career games against the Canucks. Game of the dayMiami Heat at Boston Celtics (-3, 183)Notable quotable “While we respect Mr. Mendenhall’s right to express sincere thoughts regarding potentially controversial topics, we no longer believe that Mr. Mendenhall can appropriately represent Champion and we have notified Mr. Mendenhall that we are ending our business relationship.” Email from Champion Athletic Apparel to ESPN on firing Rashard Mendenhall as a spokesperson for his tweets this week.Notes and tipsShaq is back. The Celtics expect to start Shaquille O’Neal in a must-win Game 3 against the Miami Heat. The Diesel has yet to play this season as he continues to recover from a myriad of injuries that have kept him on the bench for the second half of the season. He is desperately needed by the Celtics, as the Heat dominated the offensive glass in Game 2 and snagged 12 offensive boards.It’s no coincidence that Sami Salo returned for the Vancouver Canucks and they logged their most impressive playoff win in nearly two weeks in Game 4. Salo, a defenseman who was injured on April 24, didn’t register a point, but recorded two hits and two blocked shots and helped provide depth and maintain a physical presence in the tight-checking series. He will continue supply a boost to the blue line as the Predators should start to make early tee times for next week.Looks like Memphis forward Zach Randolph shouldn’t have walked up to Oklahoma City forward Kendrick Perkins during Game 1 and told him he had no chance of guarding him as he dropped 34 points. Perkins responded by having star Kevin Durant hold a team dinner and meeting at his house to watch film. As a result, the Thunder were more disciplined in disguising double and triple-teams they threw at Randolph, who finished just 2-for-13 from the field in a Game 2 loss. Oklahoma City has a template and new found toughness to use in the low post. If you have any feedback or suggestions for our Editorial Team, please contact us at Editorial
