Nets Will Rape The Heat In The Playoffs This Year

[BBallZen83]

none of those teams were as good as the current Nets. The Nets are basically an Eastern Conference All Star Team.

weren't the Lakers supposed to be a Western conference All Star team last year before the season started. why don't we go ahead and watch the first game before we start making predictions on how good they will be.

KG
Lopez
Evans
Blatche

I fear the Heat will be outrebounded by at least 20 each game and MAYBE even lose the series (think: Indiana's big men raping the Heat and causing them to almost lose).

Holly shit, you're right. KG and Lopez are rebounding machines, Evans is the fastest PF, he can defend Lebron and Blatche, holly shit, he had 2 double double games in a row when they played the Bobcats in 2k13, so it must be pretty accurate. Miller is gone now so the Heat cant score or defend anymore, they're ****ed.

Lebron to the Lakers is just a matter of time .

Heat are gonna rape the Nets in 5. That's even in the Nets make it to the Heat.

The Heat can run small ball and run circles around the Nets starting 5.

The Heat can run small ball

This. They'll have to go small extensively, though (especially against Nets' bench, which is clearly weak).

Nobody can deny that they look great on paper but they have to prove themselves on the court(e.g lakers this year).On the other hand the heat are back to back champions and given the fact that their stars are still in their prime and they will keep their core players i just don't see how any team will "rape" them.Can the nets beat them? i would say yes but it would take at least six games,so technically this is not a rape

[Goldrush25]

I don't know why people set themselves up for disappointment like this.

I knew from the very first game that the 2012 Lakers wouldn't live up to the hype. Let's watch the Nets play a game before we crown them. I've seen too many teams that acquire star players in the twilight of their careers and think they're going to run roughshod on the league.

KG and Pierce on crutches and life support won't make Nets contenders all of a sudden Another overrated overpaid team, which is gonna crash and burn.

Heat also had no answer for Gasol and Howard.

Deron is not even top 5 pg.

AK and Pierce are old and Lebron will own them like he always has.

How is the bench a joke, plz explain

Don't understand the comparison

Deron is a top 5 PG, easily the most versatile player at the position

AK is still a lock down defender

Heat bench only has one player that would even get playing time on the Nets

[The JKidd Kid]

This. They'll have to go small extensively, though (especially against Nets' bench, which is clearly weak).

How on earth is te nets bench clearly weak. Livingston, Terry, Kirilenko, Evans, Blatche would beat the Bobcats/Magic/Bucks/6ers/Suns easily.

You haters are really grasping at straws.

They should mesh somewhat quickly and play well together (I don't see one player who would be upset about having to sacrifice his stats) but that doesn't mean they will be able to stay healthy, and even then it might not be enough to beat the other elite teams in the East.

[VCDrivesAPorscheToWork]

If Bosh continues to be a 14/5 player, Wade a 15PPG player on sub 40% shooting... and without a bench upgrade for size...

then a cold streak by Battier or Chalmers will doom the Heat regardless of Bulls, Knicks, Pacers, Nets.

It makes for hilarious future bumps

If you sincerely believe this, place whatever money you can afford to on the Nets winning the East, and post confirmation of your bet (with your info blocked out).

Stop making asinine claims, it's embarrassing to see a Lakers fan spew that kind of garbage. At least make the same claim about Indiana, or a healthy Bulls squad. Nets are probably next in line after those two and the Heat, but I just don't see it happening.

They only thing they're "raping" is their local Costco's supply of Ensure.
