HEAT Playoff Matchups

[Heat_Fan_87]

Being tested is for teams that have yet to win a championship. This team knows how to win

[GreenHat]

Being tested doesn't help win a championship.

Not like any team is a real test anyway on the road to the finals. We're more than 2-1 against any team in the East.

If one series has a 95% win rate and any other series has anything lower you take the 95% one. Why even give a chance of a fluke upset?

I see a heated battle but a much deserved MVP and NBA Finals Championship!

Heat vs Bucks = Heat
Heat vs Nets = Heat

Eastern Finals = NYC vs Miami = Heat

NBA Finals = Clippers vs Miami = Heat
(Whoever goes doesn't really matter, Heat have big guns and ready)

How the west was won:
OKC vs LAC = Clippers
HOU vs DEN = Denver
Western Champs = Clippers

Scenario 2:
OKC vs LAC = Thunder
GSW vs SAS = Warriors
Western Champs = Warriors

not sure if serious, but the clippers are not beating OKC. it will be thunder-miami rematch and miami will win in 6.

Bulls aren't beating the Nets anyway.

Yeah most likely, but I'd just like the avoid the Bulls. You never know with the whole Rose situation.

bulls arent beating us even if rose came back. it would just be a really frustrating physical series, low scoring games....

[Heat fan06]

yeah true

think we pretty much own NJ so wouldn't be too concerned or upset if they beat Bulls.

I would rather see us play the Bulls in the second round than waste time with the Nets or Hawks. Even though most teams are beat up with injuries in our Conference, I still would like to test the championship mentality of the team before the ECF'S or Finals.

This team has been tested more than enough. First team in history to win it all after trailing in 3 different series. I think i would rather take a cakewalk to the ECF thank you very much.

THIS team hasn't been tested at all. Last year's team was and it made for an easy victory in the Finals. Last years team benefited from being tested early in the 2nd round by Indy, which led to LeBron having something to remind of what he's capable of doing in a must win situation. There is no doubt in my mind that LeBron's game 4 against the Pacers led to his game 6 in Boston ( a place where we hadn't won in a long time.) We had it easy the year before in the playoffs and that led to a let down when they were finally tested in the Finals.

Again I'd rather see them tested well before the ECF's thank you very much.

i disagree. every team wants a part of the heat, weve been tested all season long. you think any team is gonna lay down to the defending champs. hell no, we got almost every teams best all season long. from the magic to the spurs. the one flaw that stands out to me from this team besides a glass eating big man is that we usually play down to our competition.

i think it changes this season, were healthy, hungry and focused. i expect a championship and nothing less no matter who you serve in front of us

I'd prefer if the Nets won and we had an easy run to the ECF. I'm not a fan of playing the Bulls with their physical play. Nate uberscrub Robinson almost injured Lebron James in the last two games. No thanks, man. Hopefully Deron gets hot and they crush Chicago's inept offense. Regardless, we'll win, but I'm all for the easy path. We had tough runs the last two seasons. No need for it this year when we actually won the top seed. PEACE.

[GreenHat]

I disagree that we've had tough runs the last two years. But yeah this year will be even easier.

I agree, screw the Bulls, nobody feels like going 5 games with all that physical play.

Lets get Brooklyn and beat them in 5 lol

Having a tougher road to the Finals and in the playoffs makes your team better along the way in my opinion. Most, if not all championship teams deal with some sort of adversity along the way to the championship.

I'm not sure if the Heat win the Finals last season if they played the 76ers in the ECF opposed to the Celtics. The Celtics series was a hurdle that the Heat team went over and it prepared them for the better against the Thunder in the Finals.

The Nets provide literally no challenge for the Heat. I'm sure Lopez would make things a pain in the ass for the Heat, but the Bulls are a much better team that will make the Heat better.
