We're the only team that got swept. :(

Miami must be laughing their hearts out with the extended rest they're getting.

Extended rest can work against you the first game of a series though. Wouldn't be surprised if they lost game 1. That being said giving Wade all this rest only enhances their chances.

Wade got to rest through our entire series against us anyway. He didn't even have to defend Hendo and he scored on him like practice.

Probably because hes a flat out stud. When he decides to turn it on hes almost unguardable.

Let's just say Wade scored on Hendo a whole lot easier than Lebron scored on MKG.

Watching western conference playoff ball is so much different than eastern conference basketball. All 8 of the western conference playoff teams, including the team that didn't make it in Phoenix would make the eastern conference finals against Miami, easily.

Lol. Poor Kemba. I still hope he becomes a top-tier PG in the near future.

In hindsight, how can we not reach Dame at #2 back in 2012?!

Hendo even did better on LeBron himself than he did on Wade.

**** Gerald, man... I swear he's way better when he's pissed off or challenged.

LeBron was probably lesser of a challenge for Henderson to defend because Wade is much more craftier than LeBron. With LeBron, it's mostly brute strength than changes of direction like Wade
