    Wow, Mike Miller has gone from being a guy who could have made a difference for the Heat to being pretty much out of the playoff rotation.

    now take the big 3 out spoelstra. 20+ points with 4:41 should be good.

    Philly should have drafted Demarcus Cousins over Evan Turner

    This is why I didn't want to make Iggy our franchise player. All those ridiculous posts about Iggy being the missing piece for the Rockets to be a playoff contender were a joke.

    He's a defensive specialist. You need your franchise player to do more than defense.

    The way the playoffs are set up is such BS. Ooooh the Heat are blowing out the crappy 76ers. Big f'in deal. The Eastern conference is weak as hell. Put them up against a Western Conference team in the first round like the Thunder or the Mavs and it'd be a different story.

    You think the Heat would significantly struggle against the Hornets or Grizzlies?

    But why would they play the Thunder or the Mavs in the first round with their seeding? How would you set up the playoffs to make them face the Thunder or Mavs in the first round?

    he's a good player, but he's nowhere near a franchise player. LBJ has toyed with him so far.

    bosh is doing extremely well right now.

    Heat are the only team so far, that has looked like a true finals contender.
    They must be loving watching the Celtics and Bulls fight for there wins.

    This comment makes no sense at all.

    See the way the NBA playoffs work hog, is that the teams with better records play the team with worse records, typically 7th and 8th seeds are cannon fodder unless u happen to be those Dallas mavericks you mentioned.

    The days of the east being far inferior are over, the 8th seed pacers are 2 deep at almost every position, and giving the top overall seed all they can handle.

    No one is surprised by how the heat are crushing the 76ers. The heat will play the 3rd seed in the east next round, the celtics which will be a much tougher out than the mavs or thunder.

    they look like a contender because of their opponent.

    i would say its worse to have it easy in the first round. by the second round the heat will show up thinking they can go through the motions and win. the bulls and celtics are already in fight mode.

    Yeah I know, if Miami played LA in the 1st round they'd also have a bunch of trouble. East is weak!

    They might be able to grab a bone and win 1. Overall- Heat in 4games. Atlanta needs more team chemistry to put these super trooper/friends down.

    oh shut up. Past Lebron led teams have destroyed teams in round 1, and then choked in the next round.

    Just wait for Boston buddy. The entire game will be different.

    i'm pretty sure most teams that win the title have it easy in the first round.
