who knows what'll happen come playoff time... but yeah, I never saw it with this current knicks team. Their D is awful and they have no chemistry at all.

If the Celtics lose to the Wizards today they may as well just have a fire sale. Their season is going south really fast.

The Celtics should've done a fire sale last year. That team is done. Zero depth, past-their-prime former superstars who're still getting paid like superstars. I guarantee that a team would take on each one of them individually. Ainge really screwed up in that regard.

The bulls would win this team in UC without Rose,Noah and Deng.

28/80 FG
5/30 3pt
48 boards
and they won!

So where are all these "Heat supporters" now?

I agree.Like heat-philly upset last night.

Let's throw a poll if Miami's record this year can be included in all time best records besides the only 66 game season.

I saw that poll in many sites at the beginning of the season.Why not here?

I dont know if it was a poll, but Prope made a thread about it.

That said, Miami is the team to beat in the playoffs until they are indeed beat. They don't need the best regular season record to be declared contenders. Until the Heat lose in the playoffs, the Heat are the defending Eastern Conference Champions.

For now, the Bulls are just a good regular season team. Even looking at last year before the Miami series, the Bulls had their struggles. They struggled for much of the Indiana series except Game 5. Were the Bulls not more talented than the Pacers they could have easily lost those first three games against Indy. Against Atlanta had Josh Smith not kept taking stupid shots constantly, the series could have flipped there. Derrick Rose of course went off a few games and no game was ever in doubt for either team in the 6 games series.

The Heat are a good regular season team as well. They didn't win the Championship, in fact they went out on a three game losing streak. Yes they won the east, but they still got to prove that they are championship worthy as do the Bulls.

The Bulls are a defensive minded team and defensive minded teams are always good playoff teams. Offensive minded teams are the teams that are generally good regular season teams. In the playoff the games slow down and offense is often hard to come by from the preparation time. If you rely on offense to win games, u will struggle. You will have to hope that you either miraculously play better defense or that the opponent misses shots. While defensive minded teams can rely on their defense to keep them in games when their shot isn't falling until they finally get shots to start falling.

The Bulls are more than just a good regular season team. They rely on defense and that alone makes them a good team regular season and playoff team. If they were an offensive team and struggled offensively and was average to below average on defense, Indiana would have eliminated them in the first round. The fact that their defense kept them in games was enough for them to win. Same thing with the Heat, their defense kept them in against Chicago until they finally hit a hot streak and put the game away.

I could write a lot about why Miami sucks and they will never win the championship the way they play but as I see it's better keeping it for the end of the NBA season.

Just some things they don't have:
Fundamentals
Defense
Good ball movement
Team play
Strong mentality except Wade
Coach

And some things they have:
2 of the most skilled players of the NBA
1 of the best PF in the NBA
big bodies
lot of individual talent
