    Interesting series, Miami is no push over for a 6th seed but I think the quality of the Bucks should squeak past them in 6 or 7 and hopefully Giannis has a strong series.

    I have Bucks in 7 but it could go either way of course. This is probably the most interesting first round series since these two faced off in the postseason last year.

    Bucks can be chokers. Miami can play over their weight class.

    Would like to say Bucks in 6 as well.

    It's in our best interest to see the Bucks get swept and Giannis requesting a trade... so I predict Heat in 4

    sick of the jimmy butler hype like he can do anything and will his team to anything because he finally made it out of the second round in the east for once. need to see him lose. not that another giannis meltdown wouldn't be hilarious.

    Exactly. If that happens all hell breaks loose. I don’t think it happens but if they were to lose this year and next I think the chances are pretty decent at that point that he is not on the team at the start of 2023 season which is the year the Rockets have the bucks pick.

    The bubble heat about to pop. Bucks are just the better team this time around.

    Consensus prediction right now is 40% Heat, 60% Bucks with both sides expecting a close series.

    Easy to tell that the Heat miss Kelly, having another Big to force their bigs to actually play defense instead of babysit Ariza at the three point line.

    Yeah, no idea why they decided to trade for Oladipo. Even if Victor was 100%, he isn't going to be the missing piece to win a title.

    Especially on offense, Olynyk can at least drag the Embiids, Lopezes and Giannises out of the paint so that Butler can work.

    Always couple of the little things.

    Giannis' elbow shove before he goes up; doesn't get called. His running spin move is a gray area for traveling.
