Heat in 4-5.

This series won't be close. Miami is way superior to Brooklyn.

Heat should win( in 6 IMO), but people really need to stop saying the Nets will lose because Toronto took them to 7. Different opponent and a different matchup.

They were swept by Rose's Bulls in the regular season and lost to the Bulls in game 1 by 20 points.

Then they won the next 4 games.

Yeah but that was 3-0. I was wondering about 4-0 sweeps.

Yeah but that was 3-0. I was wondering about 4-0 sweeps.

At one point during the season they were 0-4 against the Bulls, though.

Does that count :lol:

ok this will be fun

but i am sure all those who proclaim "the beat the Heat 4-0 in the RS" are going to be pretty shocked that it wont matter

look... 4 games all close... more than close... could have easily been 4/0 for the heat a few plays and it would look totaly different... and 2 of those Games Wade was out

so..

BKN tired of a 7 Game Series against a well Rested Heat Team

Wade available every game

finally the Heat have found a rotation

and Lebron is in playoff 2012 mode...

so..

Deron is gonna be Deron.. Heat are neither good nor horrible against good PGs they usually get theirs

JJ and PP are going to have a much harder time

offensivly the will be defended by Lebron and Wade... both very good strong defenders

and defensivly.. well thats where it could get ugly.. so one of them has too guard Lebron for alot of time.. and the other one gets Wade... so none of them will be especially fresh for the offense

and yeah the have no one who can really bother Lebron

i have respect for them.. but i still think the Heat take this in 5 or 6 max

the Heat are simply a different Team come Playoff Time.. and the Nets did not really impress me.. they barely got by played pretty mediocre for most of the series against Tor...

Dwyane Wade does just fine against JJ. If Kidd decides to play a SF at the 4 again, Nets are in trouble.

Holy hell the Mavs are getting shot out back.

exactly the Raps problem was that Joe is one of the strongest SGs in the Leauge

but Wade is probably the only one even stronger... he is "shorter" than Joe but is strong like a Bear

so Wade will do just fine.. Lebron will hold PP in Check and if needed they can always switch^^

Regular season doesn't mean anything really

Wizards-Bulls & Blazers-Houston supports my statement

Heat in 5.

That series was mainly tough close games that went 7 with a bunch of old players...MIA is going to run up and down and just wear out the Nets every game.
