This is it!!! This is the Eastern Conference series we've all been waiting for. The Heat's Championship hopes go thru Boston. The only way they can take the crown is proving they are better than the defending Eastern Conference Champs. This series is hard to predict. Boston has owned the Heat, Bron, & Wade separately for the past few years. But the Heat are coming off a HUGE win over them late in the season and all say they have had this one marked on the calendar for quite some time. My gut tells me Celts are too strong and too clutch for the Heat. But I am gonna take the Heat in 7 games to get past the C's. I will say, to beat the Celtics, the Heat WILL HAVE TO win a game in Boston to get by them. Cant wait to watch this one go down.

Ok I am changing my opinion. Going into the playoffs I had Miami going to the NBA Finals but I have switched to Boston in 7.

Just watching the Heat, they look to lack motivation and urgency. Maybe they will turn it on vs. Boston but I am sticking with the C's. Celtics basically have a advantage at every position with washes at SG and SF.

Rondo will be a huge factor in this series because of who they'll put on him. Put Wade on him than Allen will beat you or the same with LeBron, than Pierce will. Man I want the Heat in the finals for excitement alone but it will be tough I am sticking with Heat in 7. Will be a physical series without question will be interesting to see how Bosh shows up to play.

I watched some of the game last night, Heat vs. Sixers... man I was disappointed. It was everything I hate about the NBA... and I really like LeBron and DWade, but it's SO BORING.

That's not basketball, it's stand around and watch someone shoot, then grab the rebound. I doubt I'll watch much more...

I'm still backing the Heat. Heat in 5.

Celtics were really impressive vs the Knicks, but I think that was more about the Knicks missing Amare/Billups and their lack of chemistry then it was about the Celtics.

Could easily see this going 7, but if Miami takes the first two games, pretty decisively, they should roll.

I'm not judging here, but dude you were watching the Heat and SIXERS. What did you expect?

Tune into Heat and Celtics for what is going to be a battle.

Heat in seven.

Heat go up 1-0. 38 points for Wade today, 25 for James Jones off the bench, and 22 points, 6 boards, 5 assists, 2 blocks, and 2 steals for King. Boston looks scared and naturally resorted to the "dirty" stuff when it was clear they're too old. Heat looked like the much better team today.

    • 6 pages of tuka and Seltzer arguing is actually 97 pages long
    • 100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.  
    • "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
