    For the first time ever, I'm rooting for the Heat in the East. Would love to see them match up against Cleveland and take the Cavs out. Riles has done a tremendous job rebuilding after Lebron's abandonment.

    Goran
    Wade
    Deng
    Whiteside
    Bosh

    with

    Walker
    Johnson
    Beasley
    Andersen
    James Ennis
    Chalmers

    off the bench.

    And a roster spot still open to add 1 more guy.

    This is who I'm watching out East. I think if Bosh comes back healthy and Wade stays relatively healthy that they are going to be hell for their first round opponent.

    You know Bosh is out for the season, right?

    No I didn't. Thought he was going to get back late in the season.

    Since when has the obvious prevented jopatmc from making outlandish predictions?

    You know we have to beat 3 teams in the West before we face the East right?

    Still rooting for Miami. Would love even more for them to punk Cleveland without Bosh.

    was gonna say the exact opposite. that bench is disgusting and he leveraged so much to get a middle of the pack eastern conference team. Very bad management. They will be bad for years to come

    I thought after putting 2 dozen possible trade targets in his signature and being wrong on every single one of them that bballholic would get a life.

    I thought that too until he added Goran and Walker and Johnson and now Beasley. They're tied up in cap space next season. But 2016-17 they're gonna be in good shape. Enough cap to sign Whiteside (if he continues to play well through next season) plus possibly even another superstar.

    I don't think he's even talking about a potential matchup for the Rockets in the finals...

    They sucked too much for Dragic to make a difference

    Nate Silver just posted on his website that it's time to bet against the Heat. What strange timing. :confused:

    Glad to agree to disagree on this one again. Never liked Dragic.

    Only guy that is interesting is ex Viper Hassan Whiteside.

    And the teams to beat in the East should be teams like Atlanta, Toronto and the Bulls.

    yep. disagree. I love Dragic. Even now. One moxy dude. And he's going to get his. Like the way he played all this out frankly. He deserves his money and a lead role on a good team.

    With due respect. Wade is continue to regress next seasson.

    Bosh's body is not built to withstand so much responsibility.

    If Dragic is clever he will join another contending ball club.

    At best I give them No.4 or No.5 in the East next year if Dragic is still there
