Miami sweep wizards....

[indianspur]

wow...........without shaq

[1Parker1]

This is crazy. Miami will now have 9 days off...at least!

Are they really this good? Or is it that they haven't really had much compe ion these first two rounds? Wiz are a young team after all.

It's amazing, you have Shaq playing injured in the first round, Shaq missing TWO games in the second round, yet here they are, undefeated in the postseason. I'd like to see how they hold up once they get some serious compe ion from Indy/Pistons.

There is no other team in the NBA who I would hate to see win the championship more than the Heat.

[Horry For 3!]

Yeah they did and I already knew they were. I predicted Heat would sweep the first and second rounds.


Heat vs Pistons/Pacers in Eastern Conference Finals

[1Parker1]

no, Nets played like a #16 seed and the Wizards...well could of made the Hawks look good

That's the thing though. Nets played like crap--with Jason Kidd and Vince Carter having shooting at horrible FG%. Against the Wiz, their trio of Arenas, Hughes, Jaimson didn't have much success either. Is it their Defense or just that the opposing players choked under pressure.

It just seems that aside from that ONE game in round 1 against the Nets that went to OT, Heat have been simply cruising through the playoffs.

[mookie2001]

wow
they sure look impressive beating the nets and the wizards

[spurster]

The Wiz did not play decent defense, and their offense heaved up bad 3-point shots under pressure.

[bigzak25]

i'll guess heat will lose next game that shaq plays in.

[atlfan25]

Wizards= . i expected nothing less from the heat. with or w/o shaq.

[Vashner]

A Spurs Heat matchup would be sweet in the Finals...

[johnny00]

Botttom line Wizards,Nets,Celtics wouldv'e wilted just as quickly in the Western Conference brackets.

Why does the media hype the Heat as some unstoppable juggernaut???

I mean it was the Nets and the Wizards

[Leetonidas]

lol, if it was the Nets and Wizards in the West, they wouldn't be in the playoffs.

[boutons]

reality check:

The Nets were 8th seen in the ing EC, which is just horrible. VC was their entire offense.

The Wizards don't play defense. Over the season, Wiz PPG diff was NEGATIVE! Their offense is dribble, shoot a 3. Etan Thomas was hurt (yeah, I know, not a big loss).

Heat had the 2 weakest teams in the playoffs. 8-0 is meaningless against such weak compe ion.

The Spurs would have not gone 8-0 against the same compe ion because the Spurs pull playoff like miss 17 straight FGs in 4th qtrs, and shoot under 60% FTs to give games away. Heat don't have those playoff problems. The Heat are tougher mentally than the Spurs, but the Spurs are still the better team.

I agree with that totally...even with Memphis and Sacto in it
