Yeah. I wonder why. Probably because they are saving some things come playoff time? They better use that play, especially in closing minutes, because it's unstoppable. It causes mismatch. It makes sure that either Lebron or Wade scores the basket.

Chandler is a big advantage on the defensive end, but I agree. Despite all the hype on here, I don't see this going past 5.

Feel free to bump if I'm wrong.

Heat Avi's should be pink in honor of their fanbase. Knicks about to whop your ass.

They have Amaré who can score in the paint, along with Chandler who is a shot blocker and can get a lot of rebounds for second chance points. They have athletic wings in Smith and Melo.

They have outside shooters in Smith, Novak, Melo, etc. They have a lot of weapons and Miami doesn't have the half court offense while NYK does. This series can easily go 6-7 games.

I think Philly will also give you a tough series. I can see that series easily going 6-7 (minutes before Philly runs away crying).

Overrated scorer. His defense gonna get exposed.

Wade shitted on Chandler in the Finals. He was all over the paint.

Against Wade, Lebron, Battier, and Miller?

Will throw bricks against the Heat

Moron. The Heat are one of the best half court offenses in the league. Just watch the Heat in playoff form and you'll be awed.

i think a lot of people are still hung up on last year's half-court ineptness of the Heat. This year they improved and although they didn't show much post all-star break, I'm sure they've got some nice sets for the playoffs.

[The Ownage]

I have a glimmer of hope for an upset.

One thing for sure though, this is going to.be a great series.

[Optimus Prime]

I got Knicks in 7! First and probably only time I will cheer for Melodrama.

Hoping for a great series at least.

[TheBigVeto]

Without Lin, Knicks don't stand a chance unless LBJ chokes worse than he has before.

[Rose]

Knicks in 7.

[blablabla]

ny in 7

[CHi1PriDe]

Heat in 1, heats defense and rebounding is just too good for the knicks but I'm rooting for the Knicks on this one, gotta back up all the hype.

[Clutch]

Heat in 5.

I think the games will be pretty entertaining though.
