Celtics in Trouble?

The Celtics have been on a winning streak downing the Miami Heat the last two games.  This has been attributed to the performances by KG, Rondo and Ray Allen making his comeback after a persisting ankle injury.  Rondo has been spectacular in the last three games, especially game 2 in Miami when he dropped 44 points, 8 rebounds and 10 assists only to be out done in overtime the overtime lost to the Heat.  Game 3 and 4 the Celtics got out to huge leads, but only to have the Heat storm back but ultimatley fall short in the end. Pierce has been hamppered by foul problems fouling out in 2 of the last 3 games, and fouls have been a huge problem overall for the Celtics.  The Celtics bench has been playing better, which has helped them get their last two wins.  The magic carpet ride could be over for them in game 5 however, with the possible return of Chris Bosh.
 
Bosh could return as early as Tuesday's game 5 in Miami, but if he does he is not expected to start.  But, the Celtics have evened up the series at 2-2 without Bosh playing a single minute in this series as of yet, and they have had their struggles without him in the line-up.  Bosh is the missing piece of Miami's Big 3 and accounted for about 20 ppg before the injury to his abdominal muscle.  Although he will not be at 100% when he returns, his presence alone on the floor could put a damper on the Celtics parade.  Bosh would still be a force on the floor rebounding and annoying Garnett under the hoop. Also, Bosh on the floor would allow Lebron to play the small forward position the majority of the time, where he has dominated throughout his career, rather than playing as an undersized power forward.  Bosh's return could ultimately lead to the Celtics last shot at a championship to fade away like the youth and vigor that their roster has lost in recent years.  Only time will tell if Bosh's return could be the deterrent of the Celtics dreams to go up in smoke, or will they group together like the seasoned playoff team they are and pull out the series win.
