HEAT in 6

Sportsbetting123 · 04-12-11, 05:16 PM

Heat will not go all the way. Would hate to see Lebron win it all.

I could see the Heat getting to the finals before the Spurs. Don't like the way SA is heading into the playoffs.

Heat and Thunder. Book it

The east is between the Heat and Bulls. The Heat are a matchup nightmare for the Bulls in the playoffs.

The west is a crap shoot. LAL, SAS, OKC all have legit shots.

LOL, what?

the Bulls are a match up night mare for the Heat, considering the Bulls have 3 capable centers and the Heat don't even have 1. And the Bulls have a great PG and the heat don't.

Bulls have beaten the Heat 3 times out of 3 tries this year mate. I know you said "in the playoffs" but the Heat are not beating the Bulls in the United Centre. Bulls win this series if it comes down to it in 6.

The regular season is a marathon. Things change in the post season. You don't have to worry about managing minutes and wearing them down. You better believe LeBron or Wade will be on Wade the entire game. The Bulls rely on Rose to do everything for them offensively. When Rose struggles with 2 of the best on ball defenders in the league, the Bulls will struggle to score. They are the Cavs of the past 2 years. Nobody likes to hear it, but it's true.

Heat have too many flaws and they will be exposed in a 7 game series. There frontcourt will be exposed. Bosh is a stud, but he isn't by any means a defensive force in the paint. No way can they contend with LA's frontcourt of Bynum and Gasol. In all honesty, I think Orlando could take them to 7 games and possibly beat them just because they would have no answer for Dwight Howard.

My other problem with the Heat is that the Bulls and Boston both play great team defense. The Heat really like to iso, and that plays right into the Bulls and Celtics game plan.

Wade guards Rose and Bibby or Chalmers guard whatever shitty 2 guard is out there. Problem solved.

Or LeBron guards Rose. Problem solved. The Bulls don't run plays for Noah, he isn't a threat like that. He'll get his off offensive boards and high pick and rolls (which could be a problem).

The Heat can easily go small and play LeBron at the 4 and Bosh at the 5 to take care of and high pick and rolls. With Wade on Rose.

Spurs

The Heat have had a really mediocre record against the great teams this year, don't see how they are just gonna make the finals out of the blue.

oh it's justthat easy, huh? put one guy on Rose and expect that he'll be able to guard him?

You sound like rssnh right now before that celtics game. "Rondo can guard Rose".

LOL how'd that work out for him? Rose blew past rondo, past 2 or 3 help defenders and finished at the rim. Thats what he does, thats what hes been doing all season

Keep it real. Noone is going beat this team in a 7 game series when it counts.

Just like no one could beat the Cavs with Lebron.

What evidence do you have that one is going to beat them in a series when it counts? Based on what? Your feeling? I wanna know how the Bulls are gonna lose in a 7 game series, 51-12 close to the season. Almost unbeatable at home with homecourt.

hothandsmgee · 04-12-11, 11:19 PM

not too sure theyre winning the east

BigDeem5 · 04-12-11, 11:21 PM

Heat/Thunder, I agree. LeBron played with choke artists on the Cavs and led to Conf Finals. WTF do you think he's gunna do with Wade/Bosh?

d2bets · 04-12-11, 11:21 PM

Bibby, Wade, Lebron, Bosh, Dampier

OK so if Lebron guards Rose, then who the **** are Bibby and Wade gonna guard? You gonna put Wade on Deng? Come on now. Lebron may try to jump on Rose here and there, but he will not and cannot guard Rose.

Nookx · 04-12-11, 11:27 PM

Its gonna be heat vs bulls in eastern conference finals.

Way to pick an arbitrary 5 and point out the flaw. With that matchup Wade would probably be on Rose.

LeBron guarded Rose late in the game and had him on lock in their last matchup in the 4th. Wade went full retard and helped off his shooter for no reason.

You can play LeBron at the point and bring in Mike Miller or James Jones and you matchup just fine.

Bron/Wade/Miller/Bosh/Dampier. You are just fine.
