I don't understand all the Knicks fans who claim the Nets are irrelevant, there's no rivalry there, but cheer their hearts out for whoever goes up against them. The Heat and the Knicks had a legit rivalry in the 90's and there's still a number of Knicks fan who hate them. Yet they're now on the Heat bandwagon smh

Also people sleep on the fact that 2 of our games came off back-2-backs vs the Nets & Wade sat out in 2 meetings. No excuses in this series & i'm glad we're playing the Nets

Raptor fans and other NBA fans in general are giving our own unbiased and realistic prediction. Heat in 4 is not so crazy.

No man, Nets will expose the Heats main issues by playing Paul Pierce at the 4

Yeah I didn't think Knicks fans hatred for the Nets ran deeper than for the Heat.

Nets in 6! We matched up so well with the heat during the regular season. Shaun Livingston is a problem for the heat guards and it created so much havoc with double teams and switches.

As someone whose been watching the Nets all season. I agree the season sweep doesn't mean much in the playoffs. However, that's not why this series is going to be close.. The Nets are a team that looks to exploit match ups on the floor. Between JJ, Pierce, Dwill, and KG they are usually going to be able to find one on the floor. However Miami have the best player in this series by far.. and they are still the champs. To be the best you got to beat the best. That's a lesson LeBron learned from KG and Pierce and I hope this time they can return the favor.. This should be a fun series.

This is going to be a very fun series. But I'll say Heat in 6 games.

I don't know for sure but up until 2011 heat-bulls series, teams were undefeated whenever they play a team they swept in the regular season.

Nets in 7, though it could also be Heat in 7.

These Nets are not the Bulls of 2011, the team that swept the Heat in the reg. season. That Bulls team played hard, played defense, and had one scorer in Derrick Rose.

The Nets have many options on offense, strong vet leadership, and presents a match up problem for Miami. D-Wade needs to play out of this world good for the Heat to move on.
