    It Rose is healthy Bulls beat Heat. If he shoots like he has lately Heat win. Let's see how he progresses first two rounds, which Bulls should win even while he gets back in game shape.

    It's not necessarily about who is the best team. Consider the paths to the championship.

    The Heat get the Knicks in round 1 and Pacers in round 2. They will finish off the Pacers in 5 games and will be fresh and well rested for the ECFinals. Meanwhile the Bulls are going to get stuck in a 7 game battle with the Celtics. The winner of that series will be physically and mentally exhausted heading into the Miami series. The Heat really lucked out with the #2 seed this year. While the Bulls will be rewarded for their regular season excellence by facing a championship caliber Celtics team in the 2nd Round.

    Thinking their is going to be a big upset for East, the team most likely to do that is Celtics. West is either spurs or lakers.

    Bulls, Thunder, Spurs and Lakers all have a better shot then the Heat. The books are trying to get all the squares that think Miami is invincible to bet them. I think the Pacers and Knicks will give them at the very least 6 game series. If they make it back to the ECF, the Bulls will be waiting to teach them that only men can win titles, not little girls.

    How soon we forget how easily the Heat dismantled the Bulls in the playoffs last year. That and the fact that Lebron is playing better than he ever has (53.1% from the field is fukin sick for a guard/forward) and I think the Heat should be a clear cut favorite to win the title. Bulls, OKC and Spurs have a chance if the Heat don't play their best but if Heat play to their potential everyone else is playing for runner up.

    Heat from the East no doubt....from the West, its very likely OKC but I feel if they meet with Spurs in the WCF, Spurs will beat them.

    Heat will beat Spurs in the finals - I think OKC is more of a threat to Heat than Spurs.

    They should be favorites regardless becuase they have easiest road to finals. All they have to do is beat bulls which bulls cant match up. West there are a few teams that can make the finals. Also heat is a large public teams so it is a no brainer for them to be favs I won't take em but I understand it.

    Yeah call me skeptical but they'll have a hard time doing that unless Indiana hand them the game

    Spurs for me as well. And a small bet on the Knicks at +3000. All they have to do is get past Miami to have a shot lol.

    i also think knicks could knock them out. heat mostly take jump shots from 11-15 feet, right? of course they make a lot of them, but if knicks can scoop up the rebounds they have a shot. heat have poor plays, not a clever team like spurs or celtics.

    definitely like spurs in the west. parker has his shot absolutely wired, and they pass the ball and tire defenses out and find an open shooter.
