Doubt it, the playoffs work like games for Lebron
first 3 quarters - 1st round to ECF
4th quarter - Finals
History will repeat itself, if Wade doesn't step up then the Heat won't get this asterisk chip.

Miami is falling apart at the worst time. I figured they were a lock to win the championship up until about two weeks ago. Now I have my doubts. Other teams have emerged and Miami has receded/suffered injury/shown extreme weakness of the bench.

If Heat don't win this year then the big 2.5 are going to be dissolved, tbh. Bosh out, probably another rift between Wade and LBJ will destroy chemistry.
Heat will probably be in the running for D12 :tu

Parker too good of a passer, too fast for Bron, and Spurs have too much shooting and movement for LeBron. Bulls are one dimensional on offense. Bron would get wrecked.

tbh, I always really liked Lebron and I still think he's the top talent in the league... but his pussyfication in the big stage has only gotten worse. I wish him well against every team not named the Spurs though.
BTW, stopping Tony isn't that hard. Make him shoot and hope his shot is off. He's been really good this season because his shot has been falling consistently. When that happens, the Spurs are hard to beat.

Spurs have been impressive this year and can be a dangerous team if healthy. Just not sold on them actually having enough gas for a run all the way, especially if that run happens to involve a WCFs showdown against the Thunder. Last year they weren't just beat up in the paint but looked like they were running on E.

tbh, I haven't seen Tim as springy as this season, and Manu, due to the injuries, has only played 34 games this season...
I'm not 100% sold either that they can beat OKC, but strictly on defensive issues. Considering the huge upgrade from jettisoning RJ and not having to give Blair minutes, this is probably as good a shot as they're going to have with the current big 3 core.

I dont think he has the liberty to play that aggressive. Spurs lack depth inside....he has to remain fresh & out of fouls

Lebron might be a choker offensively but he's proven he can guard anyone playing at the 1, 2 or 3 when he's focused on defense. That's yet another reason why the PG being the best player on the team = playoff failure. That PG always runs into a team that has a SG or SF who can bother the shit out of point guards because of their size advantage.

The west in general also has gotten worse... Memphis just isn't the same team as last year... if you're a Miami fan, you would recognize what Battier brings to the table defensively and with the corner 3s... Memphis lost that... they also now have a chuker taking shots away from their bigs...

Hmmm.. they don't lack depth... they have the big bodies (Splitter, Diaw). They don't have a legit post scoring option outside of him though.

As for Miami what make you think than they are not going to do what they love to do, iso BS O in the fourth, no ball movement, chocking, Lebron deferring like a little pussy he is... Start by taking care of the east you will then have time to be worried by whatever team coming out of the west.
I predicted Dallas in 6 last year and call monostradamus I predict miami won't win shit this year but Lebroun is going a well deserved mvp for a spectacular RS
Yeah, because he proved that in 2007.

the spurs have a shot, if healthy, at something not because TP is playing great bb but because Tim is playing like he is 30 y/o again. Like always this team will go as far as Tim will carry them.

And if anything if Tim gets Bosh in foul trouble then it's the Heat that are going to be in trouble, they need him if they have any chance of winning a title. Tim will just shoot over which ever midget scrub they throw out there, hell I'd bet even soft Splitter would have a field day against garbo Joel Anthony & Turiaf.

I agree with this, I was just speaking in general terms.
When the best player on a team is barely 6 feet tall, and the other team's coach has a 7 game series to figure out the best way to defend the shortest player on the court, you can bet he's going to.

absolutely
The parker recent level of play corresponds also to a great stretch of games from Tim. He is opening up the floor for everybody out there, its not a coincidence this spurs team rely less on the 3 points shooting than last year. This is why I think they are no fluke this year. Now if Tim somehow become again a 38 y/o player we are dead. TP or Manu won't change anything to that.

Lebron could shut down anyone he's guarding. It's the rest of the team that you would have to contend with, and Lebron cannot guard them all.
See 2007 as a reference.

For the most part, yes. His defense on Rose showed he has the lateral quickness to stay in front of almost anyone. He's had mixed results with Parker (especially in 2007) and it has more to do with Parker than lebron. Bron does well when defending players who try to get physical with him when attempting to take him off the dribble. Rose and Westbrook are good examples. Those two are used to having both a strength and quickness advantage on defenders. They are both slightly quicker than Bron but they try to use their bodies against him to get space or turn the corner and Bron shuts the door. They also dance a lot with the ball which gets them no where. Tony doesn't play that shit in ISO. It's one move and then he takes the corner. And if he doesn't think he can get that he'll call for a pick.
Like Nono said, if Tony's shot isn't falling then Bron can just lay off and either force a jumper or wait for Tony to come to him in the paint. If Parker's shot is dropping then he'll blow right past lebron, especially if lebron is asked to carry the offense. For multiple stretches during the '07 series Bron attempted to guard Tony and couldn't manage to stay in front of him because he had to respect the midrange J.

LeBron had scrub teammates in 2007. He will lock Parker up with Wade and Bosh flanking him.
That, and the fact that he is miles better than in 2007.
:lol as it is I don't give a fuck about LeBron guarding Parker at the moment.. I want Parker to prove he won't play like a bitch circa 2011 playoffs style before I start going all out homer style defending him against the best defender in the L..
