I think our defense this time against the Bucks will have to be different from last season... spo has got to know that this Bucks team is a better shooting team... id let Giannis get his... obviously put a body on him like dedmon.. but we cant let their others get hot... i wouldnt waste Bam’s defensive effort on Giannis.. id want him focused on brook, pj tucker and/or portis

First priority must be to shut Giannis down. Middleton & Holiday without a good Giannis are still a match, but Giannis is the x, y, & z factor. Beat Giannis, you beat the Bucks most of the time.

I think Spo is insane to have tanked to get the Bucks in the playoffs. What was he thinking? This is not the same Bucks team, we are not the same Heat team, and Giannis is not at all the same Giannis he was last year

Its not just about their better offense either. They are leap and bounds better defensively too. I would not be at all surprised if Jimmy struggles mightily in this series, especially if they put Jrue on him. And even if they don't put him on Jimmy, they can put him on Duncan and completely take him out the series for sure, while abusing him on the other end. And they still have PJ Tucker they can throwaway and let foul out to frustrate Jimmy.

I still have faith in my Heat, but I'm still puzzled as to why we made it harder on ourselves for no reason.

I have paid for a very deep scientific study that clearly shows my not watching, clearly out weighs the thread being started by jinx boy mod.
What could possibly go wrong?

Stranger things have happened. It’d be hilarious to beat the Bucks in back-to-back years. Might as well start off our weekend with plenty of cocky Heat fan energy!

anything can happen, but to be honest i do not see the Heat beating them this year, from what i have seen their addition of Jrue will be enormous and will be the deciding factor to tip the scale in their favor this year.

Making predictions in this environment, under these circumstances, just isn't very smart. Bet on what you can rely on but know anything can happen.

The game tonight is Lakers vs Warriors for 7th place and a chance to play the Suns. This is crazy. Playoffs are a gift. Yum.

It feels like we're better equipped to beat the Bucks while the Bucks would put up a better fight against the Nets in the next round.

But we can't worry about that. one game one series at a time.
