Miami Heat vs. Brooklyn Nets Playoff Series Thread

The Miami Heat led by LeBron James will face the Brooklyn Nets led by former celtics rival Paul Pierce. I expect a tough series with a lot of animosity but I just don't think Miami will lose to the Nets who could barely escape the raptors, a team Miami probably would've swept or taken in 5.

Starters

Heat:

Mario Chalmers

Dwyane Wade

LeBron James

Shane Battier

Chris Bosh

Nets:

Deron Williams

Shaun Livingston

Joe Johnson

Paul Pierce

Kevin Garnett

With them barely escaping toronto, i really think brooklyn would be lucky to see a game 6

 

Well seeing as how Toronto was a better team, we didn't escape them. We survived and kept fighting.

 

We play the Heat very well. Lots of teams do (except for one team I know of), because they play up because they're playing the champs. We swept them 4-0 in the regular season. But without home court, it'll be very hard.

 

The week-long rest for the Heat should be interesting. Rest your bones, yes. Get out of your zone? Perhaps.

Toronto wasn't a better team. Lol. The Nets have all veterans with playoff experience they were the heavy favorites in that series.

Sure they were. Better record, better seed, home court advantage, split the season series. Big deal, we have a bunch of old men playing for us. Why does that mean we're better?

I'm looking forward to this series.  Pierce and Garnett always bring the blood and guts for Lebron. 

 

I want the Heat to win though.  Would be exciting to see a Wizards v. Heat ECF.  

 

Heat in 6.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
