No. The Miami Heat will stink in the playoffs. Their 2nd round opponent is the Boston Celtics. Ask Lebron and D-Wade how their teams got dismantled last year. The Miami Heat will get exposed in a seven game series. It's too early for them to make it to the finals this year.

I agree with you my friend. I know miami will win rings in this decade but i don't see it coming this year. The only thing that i disagree with you is about boston might dismantle the miami heat this year. I will not be surprised if boston wins against miami in this series. I will also not be surprised if miami wins the series against boston. This is largely because we have yet proven how the two o'neals can fill the shoes that perkins once filled. The miami trio is also still at their peak, creating multiple threats over boston's brick wall defense.

The Perkins trade cost the Celtics a fortune. Testimony to that when they went 10-11 after the trade. I don't know what Danny Ainge was thinking but I don't buy his crap. He traded the Center of a starting 5 that has never lost a single playoff series when complete. After the trade, Miami went on party mode, as if it was the Decision all over again. They know without Perk that they have a chance against the Celtics. They can penetrate and go to the paint like walking in the park.

Ok, let me start by saying, I am a huge Chicago fan. Do I think Miami will advance? Not this year. The "new-fangled Big-3" will need to gel before they can make a true finals run. So, maybe next year and that's a big maybe, but I'm not counting them out for the future. This year's match-up seems to be leading toward a Bulls and Celtic showdown. The Bulls just beat Boston but the question is, "Can they beat them in a playoff, 7-game challenge? That is the million dollar question. Boston has been there and done that before; they have what seems like a gazillion years of experience (including playoff and championship) and they are a force to be reckoned with. They have earned that much respect. This trio plus Rondo has quieted many hopeful and ambitious teams but this Chicago team is not going to go quietly into the night. Bring it on! Let's see what the playoffs will bring! Go Bulls!

Hello there. I am also a bulls fan. However, i am also a huge celtics and heat fan. In this case, i will have to be objective as much as i can. Well,the chicago bulls really made a terrific job especially nearing the end of the regular season, defeating contenders after contenders. But they have yet won any playoff series since the arrival of derrick rose in 2008. Playoff experience could play a huge factor in the playoff. But who knows, the bulls right now are the number 1 defensive team in the league. Plus, rose has bloomed so much as a leader of the team.

It is too early to say that the finals match will be between the lakers and bulls. The bulls have yet to win a playoff series since derrick rose was drafted last 2008. If they could get past miami and boston,im sure they could win this year's championship ring. Miami,on the other hand, should also not be counted out.
