    Neal coming up big, Bobcats do not have enough offensive firepower, ability to get Al Jefferson involved and no offensive rebounders.

    Kemba Walker really needs to work on his J. He's so good at everything else, and he can get his J off at any time v. anybody. So if he can make it consistently, he'll be so much more lethal.

    I don't think rebounding is a huge strength of Miami's, either, so at least the Bobcats don't have to worry too much about that.

    But the Bobcats just don't have anyone with the body size to contain LeBron / Wade, even a little bit. I could see this series being more competitive if the Bobcats had someone like Chandler Parsons, who gives you offense and the length to bother opposing superstars.

    CDR is just too skinny - he gets pushed around by Wade and LeBron too easily.

    From Derrick Rose's injury, to the Pacers collapse, and now the Jefferson's injury, you might as well roll a red carpet to finals for the Heat. Brooklyn is the only team that can maybe give the Heat a sweat. F*** the east man!

    No real test until Finals is not good for a team.... They're gonna get swept in the Finals by whoever they play from the West. Might get one game..

    Walker!! Al Jefferson is just not the same, let's hope he can come back to his old form today or in game 2.

    Uh, a team with LeBron / Wade / Bosh isn't getting swept unless all three of them don't play for the first four games.

    No kidding. I truly believe the top 4 teams in the west can beat the Heat. Yes that includes us too. Just got to make the Finals though :)

    Oddly as many posters are forgetting, the Heat had one of the best records in the league against teams over .500 and they have better winning percentage against the West than most of Western teams. I don't think posters realize that it would take LeBron having another awful series for the Heat to be swept or lose five games.

    Why do I feel like this game will be competitive until about 6 minutes left in the 4th, in which Miami will just turn it on and win?
