Let's Be Honest, the Heat are Lucky to Play in the East

[Balla_Status]

Has any team actually fared better than Miami against elite competition(55+ wins) the last 2 postseasons? They defeated 2 terrific teams in Boston and Chicago in the 2011 playoffs, took Dallas further than anyone in the West did(despite LeBron not competing), and last season, they took care of OKC in 5 after OKC kicked everybody's ass in the West.

lol...seriously?

And the only reason miami lost against Dallas because they choked. If not, it'd have been another 5 game series or sweep.

I hope you would say the same thing about 2006 but vice versa. Or because of the refs.

Wait until playoff time when Philly has Bynum, Boston has figured it out, Chicago has Rose. NYK has Amare off the bench, and BK has a good D-Will and Joe Johnson. I'll throw Atlanta here too. The East is going to be the most difficult it has ever been in the last decade. It's going to be os much fun and I can't wait.

You make it like the Heat went 12-0 in back to back years in the East the last 2 years.

The Heat would run ammuck on most of those teams defenses. The East is where real defense is played, and the West is where the best offenses are. Has been that way for years, and likely will be for plenty more.

true story

true story

Yet all the top 10 defenses are pretty much teams in the west so far .

Absolutely, Heat benefited in the playoffs due to the lack of great teams in the east. Just look at last season's playoffs.
Who were in the east?

Knicks of last season
Pacers with no superstar
Bulls with no Rose
Celtics with injuries and old team
Magic with no Dwight
who else, Sixers?

if they were in the west they'd had to fight through every playoff series, not just cake walk into the conference finals.

well lookie here
Nuggets of last season
Jazz with no superstar
Clippers with no Billups
Spurs and Lakers were team
who else, Mavs?

u are one of the worst troll ever. U bitch about the Heat being too good and now u think they dodged a bullet not playing against team that they would destroy.

2 - 3 less championships?
East won only 4 titles after jordan era.
2 Miami
1 Detroit
1 Boston

OKC played incredibly bad, had some of the worst defensive rotations I've ever seen and still almost won... tbh there are 4-5 teams better than Miami in the West.

Losing in 5 = almost winning

Almost won? it was a back door sweep...just because most of the games were close doesn't mean OKC almost won.

[BallsOut]

Lettuce be honest, the Heat are just cruising through the weak East.
