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.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
