Knicks will have to concede outside jump shots to Miami just like they are doing with Boston but I think Miami will actually make those shots

Chris Bosh will probably have a big series, dude gets no credit like he is more important to the Heat then the average viewer realizes

stretches the floor for Lebron and Dwade to get to the rim and either get fouled or kick it out to someone like Ray Allen for a 3

bottom line

Lebron can guard Melo I think but can Melo guard Lebron?

because he's noted for his defense right?

but I do want to see that Conf finals
 
I actually like them a lot. They play really good as a team.. and you have to give them credit for the way they played this season without Rose.

Rose is also one of my favorite players. By far the most humble player in the league. He doesn't like having a bunch of media attention like some guys. It's never just about him, it's always about the team.

You really couldn't ask for a better leader
Every star player should look up to him and act like he does on/off the court.
 
that's because he has zero personality arci

he got caught using a stand-in on his SATs

his brother is an idiot

he def took money from Coach Cal

wtf are you talking about?
 
only player on the Bulls I didnt hate was Omer Asik but he's on the Rockets now.

They are my most hated team in the NBA by far. sure they played great this year for being without Rose but no way they could beat the Heat, Pacers, or Knicks.
 
Spoelstra deserves to be named coach of the year. Watching superstar collages falter this year (Lakers, Nets) makes me appreciate what he's done in Miami even more. He makes some really stupid in-game decisions, like not doing defensive substitutions, or giving Udonis Haslem 16 charity minutes a game, but this team refuses to lose, and it's because he's fused them into a machine. Even when he benched our 6 top players at the end of the season, they won.

Plus, Birdman was a Spoelstra initiative. Riley didn't want him, but Spo bugged the shit out of Riley until they got Birdman--who has been huge.

edit: maybe I'm being a little harsh on the Nets. This series with the Bulls is very competitive. But with the squad they have, it seems they should be sweeping the court with Chicago.

this nets / bulls game is brutal to watch

I dont even want to say its been good defense mostly just poor offense
 
Joe johnson is andre iguodala but slightly less quick. Thinks he has a better jumpshot than he really does and would be a lot better of a player if he attacked the net more often.

granted he was hurt with the same injury Noah had but still, thats when Deron Williams needs to step up and he was shooting bricks all throughout the overtimes, and that 4th quarter collapse as well.

CJ Watson is a walking liability and the nets have no bench at all

The Bulls would be right there with the Heat if Derrick Rose was there IMO but for a team that is basically the same and couldnt beat the 76ers last year, come on man

both these teams are slop compared to the upper echelon teams I'm just waiting for the conference finals and was kind of pissed I couldn't watch the Grizzlies / Clippers game

plus Nate Robinson is not going to give you 23 points in the 4th quarter every game, that's his MO. shows up big randomly, then disappears for a couple quarters
 
Rose may return for round 2 against Miami:

I hope he does. Round one for Miami was a dog, but round two can be a classic.

Best case scenario for the NBA: Round 2 vs. Bulls with Rose, then conference finals vs. a healthy Knicks team.

I'm not sure who would make the most interesting opponent in the NBA Finals. Anything after Heat v. Knicks seems anticlimactic.

Maybe Miami vs. Golden State would be great. Curry is playing unbelievable basketball right now.
 
I want to see Heat / Spurs

that whole "Spurs are boring to watch" opinion is kind of weak when you look at other teams around the league. They might not be "Lob City" but that kind of stuff doesnt win championships anyway.

I really wouldnt mind seeing the Spurs "Big 3" of Duncan, Ginobili, and Parker get another ring, because at that point I don't see how you can argue they weren't a dynasty.
