and you were our sons this season series
If that makes you feel better. Sure we were your sons. Lets see who's the father after this series.

Bulls were thinking the same thing before the play in game..

In the last 3 seasons Miami has played in 2 ECF's & NBA finals. Heat coach & players are playoff battle tested. Spo does his best work in the post season. Thibs ain't no slouch & is also defensive minded but his working w/ young, inexperienced players who haven't been tested. Miami's experience showed vs Bucks, dismantling the 1st seed who owned the best record in the league, only winning ONE gm.
The version of Miami ain't an 8th seed but more the same team who was #1 last season. The thing that will hurt Miami is the absence of Herro & lesser point Dipo. Heat can over come what Dipo provides but Herro was close to 2nd leading scorer. Heat seem to be playing quite well without him though.
Bam had a tough time offensively vs the twin towers, which he tends to do vs taller players. In spite of that averaged 17.4 pts, 8.6 rebs & 5 assists. After tough match ups vs Lopez & Giannis he may have an easier time vs NY's bigs which he averages 18.5pts & 8rebs. He'll be key in this series.
I have Miami taking it in 6 games based on the above. Hopefully all will be healthy & i look forward to an exciting series.
Best Of Luck NY Fans. You'll need it

Deuce has hit 58 of the 203 3s he's taken in the NBA. I love the kid, but he's just not going to get significant PT shooting 28.5% from 3.
He was a rookie u can't count his numbers when he barely got minutes even now he's barely getting any minutes but he's improved his shot and his whole all around game. The kids a professional he stays ready
Look up his numbers this season
Ok let's ignore his rookie year. This season he hit 40 of 134 3s; 29.9% isn't good enough either. Again I love the kid and do hope he gets some burn because his energy is just infectuous even if teams can ignore him as a shooter...but for him to get more PT he's going to need to shoot better.
Just for comparison, RJ shot 31.0% from 3 this year. Hartenstein & Keels were the only knicks to shoot worse from 3 this season.

Tough to say with Julius. He seemed to be getting back to form in game 5, but then he re-injured the ankle. So even if he's back in time to start this series, you'd have to imagine he won't be close to 100% again.
Luckily the heat don't have a Mobley next to Bam and if they stick Bam on Julius, then Mitch will be able to dominate...but I'm not expecting Julius to start getting to 80-90% until the back half of this series at the earliest.

Opposing fans underestimating the Knicks once again. I actually prefer it at this point. This team has made people eat their words time and time again.

Time and time again
last 5 seasons :
21/22 - missed playoffs
20/21 - lost to Atlanta in the first round 1-4
19/20 - missed playoffs
18/19 - missed playoffs
17/18 - missed playoffs
Time and time again you made people eat their words.
Congratulations on beating a bad Cavs team that was not suited at all for the playoffs.

If you want to be more specific , Giannis missed 2 games and a half.
That half a game they were already down double digits with Giannis playing.
And they won one of the 2 full games without Giannis. You could argue they played better without Giannis.
Next.

He played 11 mins out of 48
Thats actually more than 2.75 cause math
