    No they'll lose at least two games before the finals and maybe two more in the final.

    The East is watered down as ? so that works in their favor Indiana is probably their biggest threat right now, and I don't think they will put up much fight

    My Bulls squad and the Celtics are hurt, so that hurts the chances for either team significantly.

    The Knicks are unproven and I don't think I trust them

    I think their is a chance they could do it, but very highly unlikely.

    A best of seven series gives teams and coaches time to game plan, scheme, and take away things teams likes to do.

    With that being said its hard to dominate a team like that unless you're superior to them in all facets such as talent and chemistry wise.

    Whoever comes out of the West will give them a good series this year.

    I don't think it will be just one team dominating the ? out of the other like they did the Thunder last year.

    I got either the Thunder or the Clippers coming out of the West and either one of those teams could challenge the Heat MAYBE even beat them.

    Y'all maybe sleeping on San Antonio. But I still think Miami is going to dominate the playoffs.

    My bad, I was thinking about the East. If the Spurs get to the Finals and are healthy, they'll take out the Heat in 6. The Heat cant handle that size in the paint.

    Heat would sweep the Spurs

    Jackson on LBJ gtfoh
    Boris on LBJ gtfoh
    Manu on LBJ gtfoh
    Green on LBJ gtfoh
    K.L. on LBJ meh, still would get worked

    Jackson on Wade gtfoh
    Manu in Wade gtfoh
    Green on Wade gtfoh
    K.L. on Wade meh

    K.L. can't guard both them ? at the same time.

    And when Miami goes
    Bosh
    LBJ
    Wade
    Allen
    Battier

    That would be to much for them.

    Wade is healthy. Not only that, he looks like the Wade of old. Wade and James are able to play well while on the floor at the same time now. Miami just looks like a great team now.

    So yes.

    If they play like they are now, I could see them going through perfectly. It's not that I have so much faith in them. I just have so little faith in their competition this year.

    With D Wade and Lebron being as dominant as they are right now, playing Miami would be like stepping in front of a freight train.
    The only squad who could hand them multiple L's would be the Spurs solely based off their inside presense.
    Heat would still beat SA in 6 tho.

    naw i think Indy can win 2....Boston can prolly win 1 if they see em and someone out West can win 2 or 3(maybe 4 if things fall thier way) against em

    but i wouldn't be surprised if they matched it or broke it....they're playing great at the right time while other teams are breaking down

    I feel you, but I put so much faith that there was no reason MIA would make it past whoever came out of the West last year, and wound up looking stupid. I'm not going to make that mistake again.

    Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan would have to play out their mind for that to happen...and that ain't happening

    ok anyone on miami guarding duncan. not happening.
    parker being guarded by chalmers. easy ass whooping.
    spurs offensive sets and bench are better than miamis
    and last but not least, spurs - 4 starters only lost to the heat by 2 pts (or suttin like that)

    You shouldn't weigh that game in a playoff matchup.

    Chalmers wouldn't guard Parker, Lebron will more than likely guard him in the important moments. Lebron will give him the clamps like he did D Rose.

    As for Duncan, he can have his little 17 points because lets be real Duncan is way past him prime and i don't think he can keep up with Miami's pace.

    To me Miami has the perimeter defenders in Lebron and Wade to disrupt Parker and Ginobli.

    I love when dudes who never watch Heat games do these idiotic matchups. I dont think Chalmers has defended a PG for more than 3 minutes at a time in any game. And Bosh will match up well with Duncan, this is a Duncan thats 10 years out his prime.
