2011 Playoffs: (2) Heat vs. (7) 76ers

[Lamrock]

Another match-up is official. I was hoping to see the Heat take on the Knicks, but we have to settle for this lame match-up instead. I got Heat in 4 here. The Sixers are a solid team, but it is not a favorable match-up for them. Miami's had their number all season, and while I'd consider the Sixers to be the best of the bottom 4 East seeds, I can't see them winning any games.

Heat in 7

Heat in 6

They can face the Knicks in the second round and renew the rivalry!

[shadowgrin]

Sixers in 4. Because the Heat can't handle the Jruth.

Collins can definitely outcoach Spoelstra making the Sixers win a game or two.

[Andrew]

Heat in five. I can see them getting lazy and/or the Sixers having a huge game to steal one but at the end of the day I'm not expecting an upset.

Heat in 4, I don't like calling sweeps but there has to be a few each post-season.

I don't know what to say but never expected the Celtics to squander the second seed so easily. Their loss to WAS pretty much gave us this easy series. The Heat in 5.

Voted for the heat crying because I had to. Anyway, I was hoping for a Heat/Knicks matchup, because I think the Knicks would have more of a shot of extending them the series to 7 games, and the more games the Heat have to play before the conference finals, the better. Anyway, the Sixers are OK, but the Heat are better just about everywhere on the floor.

Miami sweep.

Part of me wants to pick the Heat, I look at their three best players and it makes you wonder. But then I sat down with my sources, and they talked to me a lot about how when Doug Collins was a TNT analysis he focused on the most important of the game itself, timeouts. And that's when my mind opened up to a whole new focus on the game of basketball itself.

Put simply, I have to reject this idea that superstars can play together, having too much talent on a team is a real problem. And Doug Collins understands this, and his teams will never use timeouts wrongly. This is why we need to step back and ask the sources, and they all say that a team that wants it will always defeat a team that thinks it will win by default.

Heat in 4. Philly hasn't come very close in any of the games between the two so far, don't see it happening in the post-season.

[Cleveland wins]

I think the heat will take it in 4,there's no way that the 76ers offense will over power the heat in this one.

[x-uNdErRaTeD-z]

76ers in 7. WILL be a tough series for HEAT. Quote me please lol I don't give a ef.

[rise]

Heat in 6, because the Sixers are a pretty good team, and if I remember correctly, have already beat the Heat this season.

[Martti.]

z02, they haven't.

[Cartar]

Sixers in 7. The two games that we lost were early in the season during the 3-13 period and the last time they met, it was a close game until the very last minute. Heat will be obviously big time favourites.

[Houndy]

Heat in 6. Sixers will steal two at home, and then blow up.

[Silver24]

Sixers in 7.

[kibaxx7]

Miami in 6 games.

[rise]

z02, they haven't.

My bad. Was thinking about the Spurs, not the Heat. But it wouldn't surprise me to see them steal a couple games, but no more than that.
