i mean rondo and wade cancel each other out, rondo plays excellent d, is improving his jumper, he's clutch, he's a really good athlete compared to wade who is good himself.....pierce will go mr clutch on lebron......kg and bosh will cancel each other or jo can d him....the heat have no big man for jo....no sg to d ray allen's 3's....pierce is very smart baller, lebron will not completely Sh** on him....they have a good coach.... and then we just end up taking them out again for a best our of 3.... oh yeah and more importantly they will have a much more complete TEAM than miami... orlando looks decent, chicago looks really good, and hawks are athletic enough to match up and probably are tired of getting knocked around and may display some heart these playoffs...

Yeah, I still think we meet up with Boston. They have defense, heart, and a better bench than the Heat. I also like the Bulls and Magic. It's going to be a tough race in the East, not the cake walk that Bron, Wade, and Bosh think it will be.

I hope so, however its going to be tough for them. They are probably going to have the same problems in the regular season and the east is much tougher now. They still could do it, however it won't be easy winning without HCA.

I think Orl will get a big trade before season starts and get there....I know Mia has whole bunch of old arse bigs to use theirs fouls on Dwight but thats what they are just foul machines. Bos bigs didn't even have to foul Howard, they just knew how to defend him but Orl will make a big trade and get back to the finals.

Probably. And we'll whoop that ass sore all over again.

One injury to either Lebron or Wade and they'll be 2nd round fodder for the Celtics.

One injury to the Celtics big 3 and they'll lose in the 2nd round or East finals. Much depends on KG's knee and Rondo's development.

It'll take a hell of a lot to knock off the celtics in a 7 game series if they're close to 100%. So yeah, I'd definitely go with them...

The Heat I think were in too much of a hurry to fill out their roster and were just taking anyone who wanted to be there. Time will tell I guess...

I think we will be seeing the Celtics in the finals again also....I dont think any team in the east can handle there defense in a 7 game series.

I think it will most likely be the celtics since they have a lot of experience unlike the heat

With Boston's ageing 3 only getting older..Miami should be good enough to get by Boston strictly based on their talent. Guys like Ray Allen and Paul Pierce will have a very hard time slowing down James and Wade..The same can be said for K.G and his pegleg trying to defend Bosh.. I like a Lakers Heat final.

Forget the finals. We are in summer. Have fun with the time off and relax. Lakers will be good when the time comes.

Nobody expected Boston this year in the finals. With everyone expecting the Heat next year, I'd expect some random team like Orlando popping up again somehow.

you guys will see the bulls in the finals, the bulls will lead the league in defense and rebounding, and don't forget the bulls have boston's defensive guru as the bulls head coach

The Heat bench doesnt suck. Its of very good VALUE. I mean thats all they can afford. I think Wade will be the one who gets them over the hump. So All Eyes on Wade. I see the MAgic and Celtics as their only threats. If Celtics are healthy I see 7 games. If not Cs are done. Magic- umm yeah Gortat will be traded.

^ This

I think Orlando has a real shot this year strictly based on the fact that Boston is a year older and not a year better. And don;t count out the Bulls as somewhat of a dark horse. The addition of Boozer and Korver is nice for them.

Lakers and Magic in the Finals. I will for the first time in my ENTIRE life, be cheering for the Celtics against the Heat. (the Laker Gods are going to kill me!)
