At this point, who can beat Miami 4 times?

[Kurosawa0]

I still have the Celts beating them in 7 in the next round. They've got a weak frontline, questionable defense at the point and a really bad bench.

[YouCallILose]

OKC is a complete mismatch for Miami. Great perimeter defenders, great pg, sf to match LeBron and a great defensive fc

[Nash]

We were saying similar things with Cleveland the past 2 years. And they got exploited. I'm still not completely sold on this Heat team yet.
And so many people are still sleeping on Boston. They might just come back and bite cha.

Stop referring to that. Cleveland was never a super team with the an all star PF and the best and second best player in the league. Its a bad comparison.

The way they play basketball right now. If you've watched them the whole season like a have you'll see what a big difference todays Miami is. Also, the three amigos are gelling really well right now. Also, the impressive display they put up against Boston just almost a week ago. They kicked their asses in a major way.

That doesn't mean Boston CAN'T beat them. WHich banned idiot exactly are u? Purpleshmuck? Assbelly?

[BarberSchool]

In no certain order:

Bulls
Lakers
Thunder
Mavs
Celtics
Spurs


No other teams can realistically beat Miami in a seven game series.

[EnoughSaid]

Wade and LeBron have a lot of experience going down the stretch. As long as the Heat play defense and hopefully don't end up in a close game situation. The Bulls have the best chance IMO.

The Heat 2-0 on the Lakers with the better regular season record and is actually their first round matchup.

... sounds like a better team to me

You should know by now that you can't really judge who's better than who based on the regular season most of the time. According to the regular season last year the Hawks were a much better team than the Celtics, with the better record (53-29 to 50-32) and a 4-0 sweep of the season series. I could give you more examples but you get the point.

Anyway to the OP, I think a series between the Heat and any other of the contending teams are toss-ups, but I think they are capable of losing a 7 series. I'm eager to see how far they can go and what team will be the first one(s) to give them a hard time.

[PowerGlove]

Boston, Chicago, NY, Orlando, LA, Den and SA could all beat them. Dal, OKCnare possible. WTF have we seen so far to make you think Miami is unbeatable? Beating up on a crappy philly team at home?

[Alonzo Magic]

The Bulls have no chance, none.

[Kurosawa0]

Listen, Miami can beat any team. They can. Wade & LeBron are going to be the two best players on the floor every night except maybe against the Lakers and maybe even then.

It's everyone else that's going to make or break them. Can Joel Anthony keep playing strong? Can Haslem and Mike Miller give them anything? Will Mike Bibby, James Jones and Mario Chalmers hit the open shots? Will Bosh stay aggressive against good defense?

They have a lot of questions that'll have to be answered first.

Miami can win a title because they do have two really great players, but they're not unbeatable. Not remotely.

[PowerGlove]

Miami has three great players.

[Nash]

That doesn't mean Boston CAN'T beat them. WHich banned idiot exactly are u? Purpleshmuck? Assbelly?

Why do you assume that I was banned? Also, I never said Boston can't beat them, just that they can't beat them 4 times in a series.

[ChandlerParsons]

The Bulls have no chance, none.

Yes, they do, 3-0 this season and Derrick Rose.
Do not say they have no chance, cause they do.
While I still think Miami will win if Lebron/Wade heat up, Bulls are excelllent

[bdreason]

Honestly?

Celtics
Bulls
Lakers

Stop saying that. You do realize that the previous Cleveland team was actually much more deeper than the current Miami Heat team? This Heat team has absolutely no bench. Rather have one Superstar with a very deep team, than 2 superstars with barely any depth.
