Indy. They're headed for six seed and PG coming back...and he's put on some weight. They can beat 3 seed Chicago. But if they're stuck at 7th seed, they're facing CLE. IDK about CLE.

Milwaukee lost too many pieces to sustain their success over a series no matter the opponent. That applies to us as well IMO. Charlotte isn't good enough to beat ATL or CLE over a series.

I like our chances against anyone not named the Hawks.

The Heat will pull off a first round upset,but I'm just being biased of course.

Our destiny is to get Cleveland in the first round and beat them in 7 epic games.

if wade plays at an mvp leavel, anything can happen. if wade plays at anything less than an MVP level, then we will be lucky to win a game from a top 4 seed.

Let's make the damn play offs first

With Bosh I thought we could upset Raps but they won't get a top 2 seed.

But the Pacers can upset someone for sure, the Raps too.

There's no option for 'none of the above' in that poll
If u don't want 2b here, the way things work, u don't like it, then don't b here. U have 2 stand on something. If Miami ain't standing on something, they become alot of these organizations trying 2 find their identity. This is the culture, bro -Wade

Pacers are pulling a Chicago , playing great with backups and really defying expectations. I voted Pacers
1. Herro 2. Bol Bol 3. Seko 4. Bruno
unless we trade up for Barrett or trade down for PJ Washington

Pacers, no doubt. If PG comes back playing well, they're a serious Conference Finals candidate.

With their recent on-court success, Boston is pushing for a seat on this poll. They are now tied for 7th in the Conference with us and Indiana. Charlotte relegated to 10th.
