Re: Miami's road to the Finals: Charlotte, Toronto and Washington/Atlanta
They need to change this shit, west teams are beating the shit out of each other just to get out of the 1st round. :oldlol:
Meanwhile in the east.. Wizards, Bobcats, Hawks, Bulls without Rose :roll:

[QUOTE=lilgodfather1]The heat will be 12-0 by the time the finals rolls around, if I had to be. We could be seeing an nba record 16-0 playoffs here. The team that comes from the west will be tired and banged up, and the heat will have had a week off before the series.[/QUOTE]
I've said this before but Miami is not even as good as they've been in the past and young upcoming teams in the East can bring a surprise challenge to Miami as the 2012 Pacers did. In fact I think Atlanta, Toronto, and Washington are either at that level already or close, especially Washington and Toronto.
Maybe it is just people not paying attention to the season but those teams actually were playing at a good clip for some time now. I guess they will only get respect after the fact like the 2012 Pacers.

[QUOTE=Rubio2Gasol]Phoenix too,[/QUOTE]
Phoenix had a better regular season but I don't see why it's impossible for the Bullets to win a playoff series vs. The Suns.
I love the young talent on Phoenix but give me Washington vets in a 7 game series. I think Washington would be a tough out for other lower west teams as well.
Just because they have a lower regular season record doesn't reflect on the match ups they can present to lower seeded West teams. I would say the same for Toronto but would not stretch it further in the East

So winning at a 55 win clip for half the Year means nothing right. Keep sleeping on the Raptors but don't boost them after they have a 2012 Pacers run.
Re: Miami's road to the Finals: Charlotte, Toronto and Washington/Atlanta
Suns had such a great year with 48 wins and sadly would likely be a 2nd round team out east. It is what it is.

Suns are a young team I don't think they match up with any of the top 5-6 teams in the East. Indy and Brooklyn would have been Their best shot but I think those teams having experience would give them the edge in a long series.
