    I agree with this as Nets/Heat is the marquee matchup the NBA really wants to see (even though it's gonna be just like Bulls/Heat in 2010). However, part of me would love to see Kidd get punished for shamelessly tanking.

    This is definitely one of the hardest first round series to predict, this year.

    I think Miami did tank because they rested players in games that still affected their chance to get the top seed. Maybe they felt that rest was more important than seeding but it seemed like an odd decision.

    You should've seen LeBron in the ATL game, the last game he played. He looked tired and pissed off. Immediately after the game, he said his teammates told him he should take a game or two off. After that game, it was unlikely they would get the #1 seed anyway, and they wouldn't have even if they won both games as Indi did as well.

    I didn't say they tanked, I was just saying that all of the NBA analysts were saying that Miami had an easy path to the ECF because they would avoid Brooklyn and Chicago and now might end up playing Brooklyn in the 2nd round.

    Congrats to Toronto for a decent season, but so sorry, this is not the team you wanted to play.

    Between star power (however diminished), referee favoritism, maybe even an appearance or two from the reanimated corpse of Kevin Garnett....Brooklyn in 7.

    Wish these polls were public. No me gusta, Orange. No me gusta.

    Brooklyn in 6 or less.
