The Heat are lucky to play in the East. The Clippers, Grizzlies and Spurs would all dominate them in a 7 game series in the playoffs. Hell even the Mavs might take them in 7.
The Thunder are better than all of them, and the Heat mopped the floor with the Thunder.
F outta here.

Re: Let's Be Honest, the Heat are Lucky to Play in the East
Lockout seasons over. "Contenders" have used the full offseason to get the teams they truly want into place...there's some injuries like Rose, Bynum and Amare, but the idea that the Heat have a clear path to the finals are over.
Last year I think they kinda did. The Celtics were the only team capable of upsetting them, and that's what it would've been. The Pacers are a joke if you consider them as anything more than a 50 win 2nd round speed bump. This year, I feel differently. We'll see if the Bulls can put it together when they get healthy, but I feel the 2 New York teams are built quite well to give the Heat all the trouble they can ask for....Philadelphia too. More than enough talent on the perimeter to play with the Heat's smalls on both ends, but big men and point guard play to exploit their weaknesses.
I don't like the idea for the Heat to go small. I don't see the move they could make to fix that decision. Do I think they could win the title again? Yes, but it would be far more impressive run to the finals this year over last.
They've become a team that struggles on the boards, very reliant on turnovers, transition buckets, and 3s, and have regressed defensively.

Unfortunately that's not how basketball works wise guy. Clippers, Grizzlies, Spurs and Mavs all have significant advantages and matchup problems for the Heat.

Heat would still beat any team in the west in a 7 game series.

Who are u to call someone a bandwagoner when you are a rocket fan turned okc fan.

"Matchup problems" were the same thing Boston and Chicago fans said they had over Miami and look at what happened to that.
And if the Spurs and Grizzlies weren't good enough to get to the Finals last year, that is their own problem and not Miami's.

not really the point. They only had to go through one decent team last year. All the teams that match up with them are in the West. They don't have to go through talented teams with different playstyles like the WCF. Playing in the West you have to go through at least two of OKC/LAL/LAC/SAS/Memphis. That is a lot different from playing the old Celtics or Roseless Bulls.
