I'm excited for this series but Heat in 6. I think the games'll look closer than that tho. Lebron is likely going to get clobbered driving into the paint throughout this series so officiating may make a difference and I expect Kidd to exploit Miami's overhelping defense. I'd just be really shocked if it ends up being a sweep

As a Wizards' fan, I'm glad that it'll be the Nets. I think the Nets will put-up a fight, and I could mean literally. So, the Heat might come out of that series bruised or with a suspension hanging over them. I don't think the Heat will sweep anyone the rest of the way.

Are the Nets/Heat going to wear their NICKNAME Jerseys?

Nets aren't particularly good. Regular season is just regular season. Nets grab game 3 or 4, but Heat in 5.

Heat in 4 or 5 tops. Does not help Miami has been resting for a week while the nets had a tough series against an average raptors team.

This is the truth. Livingston was a huge issue for the Heat and they will have a tough time with him again. Not that it means Nets in 6 tho

I could see the Nets giving Heat trouble. Wade was getting lit up by the Bobcats, Heat have no bigs and Pierce always shows up against the Heat.

Heat haven't looked impressive since 2013.

It will be interesting to see how the Heat handle all that time off.. will the be rusty? The Nets may be a little tired, but they also played their best ball in games 6 and 7 (and the 4th Q of game 5), so they're riding a high

Lit up? By who?

And actually Pierce was pretty bad the last time we met him in the postseason when he was playing for Boston. Minus that 3 pointer he hit over LeBron in Game 5, he was subpar. He fouled out for 2 games in that series because he couldn't guard LeBron & Battier did a nice job on him too

Joe Johnson won't be able to dominate D. Wade like how he did DeRozan...I like DeRozan and all but him on Joe Johnson was a mismatch

Bosh always plays bad against KG but at the same time Bosh gets respect from the Nets defenders enough to get their bigs out of the paint

Livingston is a pest because he's able to post up on our smaller guards Rio & Cole but if relying on Livingston to win 4 games against us, then I feel great about our chances

Oh I'm sure Miami will win. I just remember watching Bobcats perimeter players getting past Wade time and time again but then they'd stop attacking him after the first quarter. JJ, Deron, and Livingston are all better than Bobcats perimeter players.
