Miami in 5

You should add polls to the thread. And I legit think if Collins and Capela come back that the Hawks can win this series.

Heat in 6

Heat in 5, I like Trae Young and the Hawks have been a good home team to close the season. This is a favorable matchup though and there’s a less than 36 hour turnaround for game 1. Should be a fun series hopefully

Heat in 6. I know Hawks fans love to play the "keep doubting us" card but I'm not doubting that the Hawks can upset. Just going with the better team.

Heat get way more discredited among media than anyone, especially for being the #1 seed

Heat in 6. There might be upset potential here, but I think the Heat's tough defense would limit the Hawks enough.

Hawks in 7

Hawks are already in do or die playoff mode with Trae hitting clutch logo 3's. The Heat haven't played in a week. That will give the Hawks a great shot to steal game 1 and if they do, Miami could be in some real trouble.

That said, If I had to bet my actual money, I would say Heat in 6.

Heat in 5, Hawks can steal 1 game. No Collins or Capela gonna make this a tough series for the Hawks.

Heat in 5/6 depends on Capela avalability and Trae big games

Would love to see either team in the finals. May the best win

Heat should make quick work of these young hawks squad. 4-5 games tops.

Cleveland had no one who could guard Trae so they shot themselves in the foot with their bizzare “double him with two bigs” strategy. Miami has Lowry and Jimmy who can both stay with Trae one-on-one. So I’m going to say it’s a sweep, I just don’t see a way for Trae to do it, and the rest of his team doesn’t look like they’ll step up.

Who wins the series?
