The East was weak, but that doesn't mean the Heat are weaker. They went with a different strategy this year, instead of playing for every game (remember how exhausted they were after their streak), they followed the Spurs map and rested guys particularly Wade. They're healthier and better rested than last year. Wade is in much better shape, and Bosh has expanded his game. Our hopes (should we make the finals) rest on the fact that our team has improved and some of Miami's role-players have declined. We'd better take the first two at home while Miami adjusts to the level of compe ion it hasn't faced in the playoffs so far.
