The Knicks just got done with a pretty exciting series with Boston and Melo seemed to have gotten a little hurt out there and from what I've heard, they are expected to play sometime this Sunday? As you can see, they aren't getting that much rest. While the Heat have pretty much kicked their feet up for about a week.
If we manage to stay healthy throughout the playoffs, I could see us pretty much bulldozing our way into the Finals. We were pretty much expected to anyway, but still. I pray that everyone on the Heat stay in top condition and are healthy.
The best possible thing that could happen now is for the Bulls to upset the Nets tonight. Heat vs a Bulls team with no Derrick Rose, a banged up Hinrich and Noah, and a sick Deng seems like a sweep waiting to happen (More Rest). Deron, Joe Johnson, Brook Lopez, and that Evans beast on the rebounds seems like they would give us more trouble.
