Heat have already won a title without home court. They don't need the #1 seed. They never stated it's their main goal of the season like the Pacers have. Pacers aren't even going to make the ECF no matter which seed they get anyway so I don't even give a shit about them. The only thing the Heat should be worried about is the Spurs coming out of the West.
Probably helps that he has played about 1500 minutes less this season. I really don't give a fuck about Wade. LeBron should be resting for the playoffs but of course he can't because the rest of the Heat can't stay healthy.
I'm not sure why, but this strikes me as the saddest thing that I have ever read.
Stop rationalizing. Atlanta is a walkover. That's a sweep for either team. Bobcats might actually take a game. And when Toronto chokes against the Knicks on Wednesday, Bulls are jumping to 3rd, so you'd get them in the 2nd round. Even if you don't, Toronto is better than you realize...they're just as dangerous as the Bulls or Nets. In either case, I guess I can understand if you're scared of the Nets since they swept the Heat.
If they both go '01 Lakers and can just turn it on in the playoffs. They've both inexplicably been terrible lately, so losing focus over a long season is definitely possible. I don't think I could see either of them over the West in the finals, though
