    Maybe Dallas, as much as I hate to admit. Dallas has a smoother offensive game, as a team. Unlike other teams, have to rely on semi-shutting down Wade and/or LeBron, Dallas can actually win by exchanging points with LeBron and Wade while shutting others down.

    Anyways, I look forward to the rematch.

    My prediction is that Miami will put Bosh at C and LeBron at PF and force Dirk to hold leBron.

    I thought everyone was saying that the bulls would destroy the heat. Has that take now changed and we are all now banking on DALLAS?!? to take out the king?

    i don't think a lot of people thought the bulls could take out the heat. the bulls beat the heat 3 times but in 2 of the games lebron played, the heat had double digit leads in the 2nd half and simply choked; the heat were in their choking phases during that span that they played the bulls.

    the heat would make quick work of the bulls, most likely in 5.

    Was reading the article on Lebron's "Redemption" if the Heat beat the Celtics.

    Quick question; How can it be "LeBron's redemption" if he has a superstar guard and a all-star forward at his side doing just as much work as he is? The Celtics are one year older and one more year of break-down on them. He's not overcoming anything; in fact, the Heat were expected to win.

    Get off his tip, NBA.

    He isn't redeeming himself. He's either clouding his legacy by his decision or gaining a bunch of new bandwagon fans.

    It ain't redemption if he has to join with his other buddy who has never beat them either. Really it tells you that he can't do it himself so he has to team up lol.

    After all the people who said the Heat wouldn't make the playoffs, couldn't beat the Celtics, people still find things to bag Lebron/Heat about.

    I think people need to move on, and realize the Heat will only get better once they start adding more players over the next few years.

    Lebron James, one of the Best Midrange shooters in the NBA.

    http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoopmia...lebrons-evolution-on-display-down-the-stretch

    According to NBA.com's StatsCube, LeBron made 45 percent of his midrange jumpers this season, which is an incredibly efficient mark for a high-usage perimeter player. Paul Pierce made 44 percent of his midrange jumpers. Kobe Bryant made 42 percent. Derrick Rose made 40 percent. Dwyane Wade, 40 percent. Kevin Durant, 42 percent. Carmelo Anthony, 42 percent.

    Are you asking how can it be his redepmtion if he has as much help when he wins as the majority of champions from the last 30 years, besides 3 of them (94, 03, 04)?

    Because all of the writers and most of the people on this particular bbs along with all of the other message boards I'm a part of picked the Celtics to win this series. If he had a superstar guard and the celtics were so "old" as you say then why did you pick the celtics to win this series? That right there is why this is redemption to Lebron.

    This is exactly my point and I'm no big fan of Lebron myself. But when Miami got off to a slow start people said they wouldn't even make the playoffs. Hell there was a time this year when Miami and Cleveland had the same record and people on this very bbs said Cleveland was better WITHOUT Lebron. Then the Heat went on a roll, then they stumbled, lost 3 times to Boston and had trouble with the Bulls and everyone laughed and said they would get their butts kicked in the playoffs by the celtics, bulls, etc....

    Now, look how far they have come and you STILL have people talking mess, just looking for things to criticize. Lebron and Wade have been amazing this year and it hasn't been easy. They have evolved together.

    Get these stats out of here. Reason has no place on clutchfans.

    Kmart is a true super star not lebron. Lebron is a cancer like Tmac he will never win anything.

    It appears that the planets are alligning for the Heat to win it all. If that happens, I will be so disappointed. Dallas looks like a lock to come out of the West and I think the Heat can take the Bulls in seven. Heat beat Mavs, game over. Ugh!

    If Rose can some how shoot better I can see the bulls giving the heat a good fight.

    I'd love to see you quote 3 different posters who said this. I'm sure there's one or two nutballs that went over the top....but really? "All the people who said the Heat wouldn't make the playoffs?"

    This smacks of another round of "make up false claims so you can mock them"
