The Heat really aren't as good this year. Role players are worse, Wade is hurting, and Allen is older. But that's not the point.
Wade isn't hurt, he rested all season. Role players are the same? How are they worse lol. Spoelstra always uses the regular season to test line ups because the Heat are a veteran team and they come together and do their jobs when it matters. Allen is still Allen.

Guess what? Duncan is older too. So is Manu. So is Parker. So is Fisher.

What really matters is that the Heat have LeBron. As long as they have LeBron they'll be the favorite in every series they play. Just like Jordan's Bulls were favored every year he played.

Also the Heat being an excellent team doesn't change the fact that the bottom half the West playoffs is far better than the east.
No one is fucking arguing that. Are you telling me the Spurs and Thunder need 7 games just to get out of the first round? This game right now shows the Spurs have been sucking because they are running the Mavs out of the gym. The Thunder I think maybe are just bad because of Brooks because they got gifted the Z-Bo suspension or they probably would've lost.

Rockets are overrated garbage of course.

Here is the thing though, the Heat already beat these Spurs last year. They destroyed the Thunder in the Finals the year before. Acting like the Heat would struggle in the West is ridiculous because they've already beaten these teams in seven game series.

The Mavs are the last team to beat the Heat in a series and they did it during LeBron's first year with a team looking totally different than it is now (Hi2U Mike Bibby) before LeBron broke through his mental roadblock.

No one since has beaten them, though the Spurs came as close as you can come, I'll admit.

After a careful poll of the constituents of my bedroom, we've decided to not give your request serious consideration. We're here to stay. Or until the Heat lose.

Last season the Nets lost all their matches against Miami. This season they won them all. They won 3 of their 4 regular season matches by the smallest of margins, but still, it means that should be competitive, unless you subscribe to the theory that Miami has an extra gear they only use in the playoffs that will allow them to sweep Brooklyn with 20+ margins.

The regular season is meaningless. Wade was on a sit every other game program, Battier and Allen were playing limited minutes, etc. Who gives a shit about regular season W-L record? It's the playoffs and the Heat play different in the playoffs anyway.

A careful poll isn't serious consideration?

Reading your posts literally makes my brain hurt, Gaige.

I don't hate you cause you're stupid. You're stupid cause I hate you.

Does Lebron's jizz taste like his lemonade gum?

Warriors have beaten the Heat in Miami every time the past two years (only twice). The West playoff teams are all really good. I bet the Suns would have made it an entertaining series against the Spurs too.

Tell the truth. Do you look at pictures of LeBron when he was 16 and jerk off to them?

Hibbert with a beast game and the Pacers showing why they're the #1 seed yet again.

They just love giving away home court advantage lol.

They're gonna fuck around and get swept. The wizards aren't the Hawks.

I can safely say, if Chris Paul shoots 100% from behind the arc, clippers are going to pull the brooms out.
