You guys should be nervous. You have NO Excuse for not getting to NBA Finals this year. The path has been paved for you with Rose and Noah going down for Bulls. I think they were the only thing standing in the way. I don't see the Knicks winning three in a row. It would of been hard enough at full strenth to beat Miami 4 times. Indiana, Boston, atlanta, pose no threat to you.
In the finals who knows. SA, LAC, OKC any of them could give u a run.
This is win a championship bust type playoffs for u. Not good circumstances to have to play under IMO
And I agree with just about almost everything you've just stated. Even with Rose and Noah I believed Miami would still beat Chicago. Would it take 5 games like last year? Nope more like 7. But I still don't trust the one man show with Rose and the Bulls. I actually had you guys beating Chicago if that was a first round series between the 2 teams.
Indiana, eh they beat a depleted Dwight-less Magic team. So they've just "looked" really good. They don't pose that much of a threat as you stated. Atltanta, don't take them serious...at all. Boston do raise some alarms. They're hella tough and can still defend at a pretty high level even with the grandpas on the team. As much as I hate Paul and Rondo, they can still do
some damage. But if Miami-Boston is the ECF, Miami in 5 like last year.
As for the Finals, i honestly don't know. Those teams you named may get eliminated next round lol. West is very hard to judge right now. I'm fine with the pressure Miami is under. It is win or bust and the team will get blown up if they don't win thats why i think they will win.
