Falling behind by almost 40 in an elimination game; the boat will be rocked.
They are not a versatile team.

Probably would have to trade some major pieces/players off. Then you have the issue of chemistry, which will take a bit to gel to get to the Finals.

I agree they aren't going anywhere.

If the Bulls ever get healthy they won't be getting free passes to the ECF anymore.

Then you have the potential development of some of the other squads in the east and Indy better get their head back in the game if they don't want to backslide.

Any person with a brain cell in their head will see that the Heat won last years finals in game 6 against the Spurs due to a lucky 3 pointer by LeBron and one by Ray Allen during the last minute of play. Of course, the refs where paid off last year (in Miami's favor) but this year, they won't be.

I' am willing to bet all of my money (currently $30,000) that the Spurs rout the Heat this year to a 5th Championship ring, no matter how much the game is rigged in favor of Miami and the LBJ ba** suckers, the Spurs will win.
Anyone willing to bet 30k on a "rigged game" has been up all night with their friends jack and Daniel.

I can't go against Lebron in the Finals until he gives me a reason so I see Heat splitting in Texas and winning 2 or 3 at home and winning 1 more in Texas

You do know it's not 2-3-2 anymore right?
So you have the heat winning 2 on the road and 3 at home?
Hmmmm

Well tonight's game should be fun. Looking for an OKC win for two reasons. 1. I prefer a matchup agaisnt OKC that is for sure. 2nd more games they play the better.

I was at the game last night and it was great. So happy it was not even close. Sure if you have no rooting interest that sucks but that was pretty much the most fun I have ever had at a Heat game for a 1st half and by far the best crowd I have ever seen at the AAA for a first half. It was just a 3qtr long celebration. A slow start but no one was worried, they locked in and played Heat basketball.

Excited to watch the game tonight.

last year wade was hobbled and the Heat still won. Not only will Miami win this year, they will win next year too. Lebron wins four rings in a row. Then I'd like to see him leave Miami and sign with the Spurs after Duncan retires

Have no idea what to expect tonight. Weirdest series ever. I'm glad to see the Spurs proved me wrong in game 5. I really thought it was going to be a 2004 vs. Lakers .4 shot type of loss. Hope we can win tonight. The more days of rest Miami has than us the worse. Either way, I just hope the winner of this series puts a stop to the evil empire of douchebaggery on south beach.
