    Series thread coming tommorow, but for now I want to know how you guys feel about facing them. I don't have the exact stats with us, but they beat us atleast twice this season, and we beat them in one game on a last second block by Wade. Plus, Carter has also owned us. If anyone remembers last years series, Carter struggled early, eventually turning it around, however, Eddie Jones and Dooling hassled Carter forcing him into hard shots. This year, Posey and Wade will have the task to guard Carter, which concerns me, considering what happened this year. Posey didn't play in all the games vs NJ, but if the Heat can't shut down Carter AND Krstic, it's going to be hard for the Heat to win the series.

    I think it will come down to the matchup of Kidd vs. not Wade, but Shaq. Whoever dominates the tempo of the game which is what each likes to do, will come out on top. I think the Heat win in six though. A playoff Shaq is just too much for Krstic.

    i wouldnt be surprised if nets take it
    i think if the heat play the nets like they did early on against the bulls, then the nets could take it no probs
    however miami did finish it well against chicago, so who knows

    I was suprised when Miami had some trouble with Chicago so I expect this series to go 7 games. However, Miami is better than the NJ and I see Wade and Shaq coming through at the very end to take Heat to the conference finals.

    The nets are like a more powered and experienced bulls because they both can run but the difference is the talent on the nets thats why im scared that the heat will get beat but i think they can win it if everyone steps ups and plays good ball.

    I think the Heat will win this series in six games. The Nets destroyed us in the regular season, but in those games we had players injured, and were playing games carelessly. This is the playoffs and we are determined to get back at the Pistons , We just need to stop Vince Carter, and Shaq needs to play well and we got this. The Nets have one of the worst halfcourt set up offenses so we just need to feed Shaq and don't let the Nets get on the break.

    All I know, we always LOST to the KNICKS back then.

    Just like the DOLPHHINS always lost to the JETS.

    No matter how much those up North teams sucked, and how good we we're, we always made it to the playoffs and lost to these two.

    Things have changed, we are really good now.
    The Dolphins always beat the Jets now, even when we suck, like now.
    I don't see how NJ KNICKS could beat us.

    GO HEAT. We on FIRE>.............

    Going to go out and watch the game now.
    MIAMI YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHh

    I might go to Gulfstream for my first time.

    Peace
