The Heat now have a .800 winning percentage against the Western conference.
20-5
No Western Conference team can beat Miami in a 7 game series. I think the only team that has a legitimate chance against the Heat in a series is Indiana, and even that would be a stretch.
because he didn't average 30 points, 50% fg 9.7 rebounds 5.6 assist last post season to win it all.
His finals numbers dragged the rest of his playoff numbers down... just a smidge. You might say they didn't need him that much, because the role players all stepped up... but I need to see him shoot 60%. Because that is what the media is telling me, that he can do this every game.

And the Knicks
Oh, we're gonna act like 2 blowout losses mean nothing. I love double standards baby
One downer for Miami tonight was Wade, who continues to struggle this season against teams who have athletic wings and big men that can contest shots well. He has to find a way to get his jumper going against such teams, because Miami will be facing plenty of them in the playoffs.

Plus, it wasn't an 82 game season.
What the hell does not being a 82 game season have to do with how he played in the playoffs, all teams in the NBA played the same amount of games and had the same amount of rest.

Knicks have been playing like absolute shit lately. And the Heat are playing much better ball than they were earlier in the season, and Lebron has been on a blistering pace.

Dude stop quoting me
Lebron wore down in the Finals against the Mavs and he wore down against the Celtics the year before that. They were full 82 game seasons, in which he was great in and had to carry much of the load. He is doing a lot of carrying right now. Stop asking me this question you troll

He couldn't score well tonight, but he still looked way more active tonight than he did at a lot of points last year. He played solid defense on Durant despite giving up 5+ inches, and was everywhere on help D, when he wasn't being called for a foul. His 2-man with Bosh was on point as usual as well.
Granted, there will be points in the post-season when he needs to score against good teams.

Agreed on both. But would love a showdown once the Knicks old farts get healthy (if ever). It can either nail in my coffin for the faith I have in Melo leading the team... or bring me to my near basketball fandom climax.

Find me where they've actually said that and you expect the highest level of competition to be the same as a regular season game? Go back to playing bball with fragile white boys please LeBron last postseason was dominant, no way around it.

lol at personal shots. They weren't even white. But thank you for remembering
OK, so we should expect lesser numbers in the playoffs, gotcha. I can accept that

If the Spurs and Heat met in the finals, I'd put my money on the Spurs. But that's the only team.
