Playoffs: Which team is the best match up for the Heat?

[contract]

It's obvious that we're going to make the playoffs, and it's obvious that we're going to be one of the bottom seeds ... so which team is our best match up?

[contract]

The Cavs appear to be looking for a place to lay down and die, but I think I like our match up with the Celtics better. Aside from Kyrie, no one on that team scares me at all, and Kyrie's knee is acting up. I'd give us a 40% chance to pull an upset against them.

Are we officially a lock for the playoffs? It sorta feels like this could be a jinks, Dragic goes down etc and we are a lottery team.

Technically not a lock, but the way the Pistons are playing, we could sit our starters the rest of the way and they wouldn't catch us.

I agree about the Celtics.

Cavs is the worst match up out of this group

[goodboy]

I feel Raps would be the most fun match up also we usually are good against compared to Celts/Cavs.

Kyrie/James have that post-season gear that we wouldnt sustain.

It feels like this year's Raptors are a little different. but it also feels like we say that about the Raptors every year and they disappear in the playoffs lol

Is this now a message board where Raptors fans root for the Heat? I’m fine with that if that’s the case, but I just wanna make sure I’m posting on the right message board. I’m definitely not a raptors fan after what I saw in Jurassic Park.

Aren't you this massive Alpha? You want to run with the big dogs you have to piss on the big trees.

The only way this team ever comes to know what they've got is simple. Play LeBron. Let's truly see what Riley bought!!!!!!!!!!

[Zasterror]

Playing against the Raps would be great because it will be finishing unfinished business back in '16 with essentially the same key players going against each other again but older and better (Wade, Whiteside, JRich, Winslow, etc vs DeRozan, Lowry, Jonas, etc.)

[somerandomdude]

I like the Raps only because we'd probably be the 8th seed if we were to face them, which means if we win, we'd avoid Cleveland in the 2nd round (assuming they're still the #3 seed or #2 seed).

However, I voted for the Celtics because I think they'd be easier to beat.

[DoItALL9]

I think the Heat can make it to the ECF. They should upset Boston.

Boston is a good matchup for you guys. Whiteside's length would be a problem inside since Boston isn't a very big team.

Went with Celtics, but please give us the Pacers, 76ers, or Wizards and our OP. We sweep them.
