Amare out indefinitely with a bulging disk in his back, i think you guys will be ok. I will say, i think philly would be an easier opening round matchup than the the knicks(for the heat), but i just cant see the knicks winning the atlantic.

yeah melo might be out to he landed awkwardly. I really feel bad for the 7 and 8 seed because they don't stand a chance against the heat or bulls lol

Surprised to see so much love for the heat. For you guys to say you are not worried about chicago is naive at best. Last year was last year, I do not deny that we stepped up.

I'm sick of hearing this talk about sleep walking through the regular season. It doesn't work like that, and it eventually catches up to you...see last year finals.
Seems like we rely on the past a lot to try to predict the future...we lose to chicago without Rose, everybody's response is "wait till the playoffs." The Heat need to right the ship and get their act together, wether it be personel wise or mental wise....if not I am sorry to say we might be looking at another disappointing end to the season.

i am worried about chicago as a matter of fact thats the only team that worries me this season AND last season. i never thought we would loose to the mavs like we did. that being said, there is no team this season that can beat the miami heat on a 7 game series.

the regular season in the nba has become a joke to be honest. while i don't like how some teams don't give a crap about some games and just show up to just play for the hell of it but the truth is a lot of players only play hard in the playoffs. I guess it makes sense for them because its the only thing that really matters besides the finals. the regular season is like warmup for the real thing sad to say. Also the heat have nothing to worry about in the east besides the bulls because the east is way to soft compared to the west

Not worried about chicago at all, we win that sereis in 5 again, maybe 6 if someone other than rose can actually step up at the end of a game.

Bulls give it there all every night, they have no higher gear like the heat do.

yes they do its called "screw everyone its D rose time" while i do agree the heat have more talent but come on give credit to d rose he can flip the switch at any moment and take over the game.

Not with lebron guarding him.

Rose shoots under 15% with lebron guarding him.

[ejazbmw]

but it takes lebron to cover him.....a guy that is taller and bigger then him. you need you're top player to cover rose i think that says something about him. I'm just saying give him props for what he can do

So? Lebron covers him at the end of games, rose is a great player but he cant score on lebron, lebron can lock him down. As long as lebron is shutting down rose i dont see them getting by miami.

Lebron is a DPOY candidate, why wouldnt we put him on rose? Until the bulls show they have a second option that can create and make a shot at the end of games they will not get past the heat.

Lebron is #3 in opp per, behind #2 battier and #1 iggy

[JohnSprm69]

i just can't wait for the playoffs to come around.

[JohnSprm69]

[ejazbmw]

is there any team that can beat OKC? jeez KD is unreal also can someone please pay lebron his million dollars that he wants so he can do the dunk contest next year?

[Kensta335]

yeah we will see cause i just noticed miami will be playing them on a back to back after the hawks game on tuesday so that will be tough for miami. wouldn't doubt it if they sleepwalk the hawks game to come back and make a statement out of okc.

+1 OKC isn't experienced enough... they have tons of talent, but they are too young.
