    This is where the Heat get derailed. I dont think the Heat are as good as they appear, they drew the Bobcats who were non competitive. I think Brooklyn will pull this off in 6 game and remove the Heat from the playoffs.

    You said it over and over.

    Heat are better than the Nets. I say Heat will win the series, and do it in less than 7 games.

    My second round predictions:

    Indiana in 7
    Miami in 5
    OKC in 7 (this is a frustrating series, because I think this should be the Western Conference Finals. One gets knocked out a round early due to matchups)
    San Antonio in 7

    Yeah I think the Heat take care of business here. Every year there are doubters but they step up when it matters

    Wizards match up well against Pacers, no? I think they will win. Heat, Spurs and OKC are my other winners.

    I love the Nets as much as anyone, grew up watching them at the Coliseum in the ABA, and I'm always the eternal optimist but I just can't see them beating Miami.

    The only shot is if Wade is at 50% and Deron is near 100%

    Deron has got to step up. I believe Plumlee can have a good series if Kidd plays him.

    Williams is one of the most overrated players in the game, where he got this reputation as a big time NBA player I don't know but he has it and it's not earned. Unless he actually plays like a big time PG the Nets have no shot.

    No

    In Utah, but the last time he played like a top PG was like three years ago.


    Random note, this is what some of Dallas's veteran core did in Game 7:

    Dirk 8/21, -30 plus/minus
    Calderon: 2/8, 4 fouls
    Monta Ellis: 3/11, 2 assists, 2 turnovers, 2 rebounds, 5 fouls, -24 plus/minus
    Vince Carter: 4/12, 5 fouls

    Wow that must have been even more so crazy, and intense for you with that open bet. I forgot about that. I just put a little down on a parlay OKC and Washington series.

    Lebrons career in Miami is going to end the same way it ended in Cleveland...losing to Paul Pierce and Garnett and fans chanting "NY Knicks" or some other random team.

    I dislike the heat so what do you mean "are you worried?"

    I hope the nets beat them but the team Is aw against Toronto is not beating the Heat. They will have to get A LOT better.
