The heat are fresh. This was lbj 2nd lowest mpg in his career, this was the lowest mpg of bosh career, and wade was on maintenance program all year long. In other words miami big 3 is as fresh as they ever been during the playoffs

They are...idk if Wade can still do it, he's showing he still can turn it on at times. He's missed enough time this season to be fresher than all of them...If I'm Kidd...I go hard @ Dwade...make him work on D. Same with Bosh as might not be as effective on OFC if he has to work hard on Lopez.

The role players have to step up for the heat in this series.

Lopez? Is he making some sort of miraculous early comeback from his injury?

What you wish to be. Some one free of the burden of rooting for a team that will never win it all.

Not even close on MEM vs CHA

And I do not think the LAC vs BK is either.

Never is a long time. Don't be such a fat gurl. Besides, you are still my favorite poster in this forum. Even if you ARE a Meat fan.

I assume the point of this post is to point out that the Thunder face a more difficult path to the conf Finals than the Heat? I don't think anyone has or would refute that point.

The only purpose in making this point is either to show that the Thunder would arrive in the Finals more battle tested, or to lay the foundation for an excuse when they don't get there.

Can't wait for this series....you can pretty much toss out the fact Nets owned Heat in regular season beating them all four times. But the other storylines are KG, Pierce, Allen to see how much they have left in tank and affect a W as Pierce showed in final play vs. Raps.

To me the key will be how aggressive DWill is and JJ's shooting as Clayton illustrated. No doubt Lebron will seek his revenge on Plumlee after the kid snuffed his shot...lol

Wade is actually one of the better defenders on Miami. The heat numbers with wade compared to the numbers without him are day and night.


I love the butthurt okc fans. You play in the western conference deal with it. If your coach had a better offensive philosophy instead of letting kd and Westbrook take turns with each other then maybe you guys wouldn't struggle as much.

Tom Haberstroh:

Guess how many minutes the Nets' starting lineup has played against the Heat this season? Try zero. The picture gets even cloudier. According to NBA.com, the Heat's most-used lineup against the Nets this season featured Norris Cole and Rashard Lewis. If you didn't already know that this particular regular-season series has little predictive power, then that fact hammers it home like a James breakaway.
