Majority of Miami's losses were decided by 3 points or less. I still think they have a decent chance to get to the Finals. Or at least ECF.

P.S. Im a Lakers fan.

what do you think the playoffs are? most wins are going to come within 5 pts; if Miami can't do it now, how do you think they'll be able to do it in pressure situations?

you make it sound like losing by a basket is some epic failure.

when you lose to the Knicks w/o a bench AND they're coming off a loss to the Cavs? w/ the Heat at home? yea...that's pretty bad homie (now epic failure would be Bosh's 1-18 last Thursday)

Are you for real? How was that an offensive foul? IMO, it's a total injustice that Bosh didn't get a double technical for that.

The Lakers are also a veteran team aiming for a threepeat

Jesus. Lol. So much hate towards Miami. Though I can't blame the haters because of the Jeff Van Gundys.

Dudeeee! Chill. The Lakers also have a horrendous record against winning teams this season. I was just saying that Miami is getting more hate than the Lakers because of the hype from the media.

And also, -2.5 pt differencial against elite teams in 7 games. Could've gone either way if you ask me.

I'm allowed to hate on Miami when I'm a Bulls fan, and I watch TNT when the two teams are playing, and have to sit through all the bs the commentators are spouting.

"The bulls are just so sloppy."
"The heat is just so awesome."

Hearing that for the WHOLE duration of the game, even when the bulls are only trailing by 5 points, then take the lead at the end at win...

What? I couldn't give a crap if that's not the teams fault. Most overrated team imo. And everyone else has to deal with it.

As I said, can't blame you guys. Lol.

Jeff Van Gundy is the most biased commentator when it comes to the Heat.

all good over here homie...just stating facts. not once have i've been scared of the Heat this season. really, Boston scares me more because they had (well until the Perk trade) size and could match up w/ the Bulls bigs very well. Miami has no bench; Erik Dampier against Omer Asik? nah...Heat don't want any parts of that (dude had 11 re's on Thursday). also, when 2 people on your squad score 95% of your points in a quarter, you have a problem getting other players involved that need their touches (Mike Miller, Eddie House, etc). so in essence, Heat can't afford for any of the big 3 to have a shitty game because if it happens, they're catchin' an L. Whereas Bulls can afford D-Rose a bad game or 2 because of Booz, Deng, and the bench's presence (he had 17 against the Bucks and Bulls won by 8).

can't really measure against elite teams because...well...he snaps on all of them. but, with Noah back, I'll safely assume the other players would pick up the slack if he has an off night.
