Well on the bright side of things the 7th seed might not be as bad of a thing as some of you are thinking. Just thought maybe were tanking....
While I agree that playing CHI is better than MIA... CHI's coach will run circles around ours, and that the majority of that team has been in the playoff trenches together before...
MAKE NO MISTAKE about it... The Miami Heat will be a feral beast to tame... no doubt.
Our only luck will be to hang on Game 1 or 2, hope for a close one, and hope they make mistakes down the stretch and miss a shot... COme home from MIA 1-1 split.
BUT, home court hasn't helped this year against CLE/INDY, and we all know Lebron and Wade cherish the MSG atmosphere... SO, we're at the mercy of 2 things: our bench and our 3-point shooting.
MAYBE the planets align though and we get hot.. Maybe we get it to 2-2 and somehow force another split and wind up in Game 7.
THEN, maybe LJ is cold, or Carmelo is hot. Anything goes.
STILL... see what just happened to LA & SA... MIAMI will not go quietly into the night...
