HEAT(1) vs BUCKS(8): 2013 First Round

[NovU]

Heat: 66 wins / 16 losses
Bucks: 38 wins / 44 losses

Monta Ellis is great.

[Dan's Brain]

More or less a bye round for Miami. May well be four blowouts if the Bucks can't get Garry Shandling back on the floor.

[stereoxide]

Heat in 5 because I'm being nice to the Bucks.

[JaoSming]

FEAR THE DEER, Heat in 7

[shadowgrin]

Joel Anthony in 1.
That's the number of games he only needs to play to sweep the Bucks.

[Martti.]

Heat in 4.

[werewolf914]

Heat in 4, no doubt. Don't see what it take to stop the Big3 in Bucks.

[Cartar]

Bucks have been a pretty bad matchup for the Heat, so maybe they'll steal a game or two.

[Dc311]

Heat in 5.

[NovU]

[Lamrock]

Thanks for keeping up my tradition for these threads. Wasn't up to it this year.

I expect the Heat to sweep this. While Milwaukee matches up well, they simply aren't very good.

[Andrew]

Perhaps I'm selling the Bucks short here, but I have to say Heat in a sweep. Milwaukee has had some success against them this year but the way Miami has been playing in the second half of the season, the 27 wins in a row and whatnot, I think they've obviously got it together and it'll take a much better team to take a single win from them in a seven game series, much less pose a serious threat of knocking them out.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Bucks in 4, yes!

[NovU]

Whew. That was closer than what I thought but we take Game 1.

[Andrew]

That's become the standard for the Heat this season, especially during the 27 game winning streak. Coast in the first half, giving an inferior team hope for an upset, then turning on the jets in the second half to win by 20+.

[SoF'nAwesome]

Jennings played pretty well especially on those 3s. But I guess he must since he said Bucks were going to take the series on 6.

[Brave Sir Rubin]

Only real reason to watch this series.

[SoF'nAwesome]

I just checked the poll here and saw someone voted Bucks in 5. I would like to know and show my respect to that wise viewer of the NBA

[NovU]

Don't look at me. I was sober for last couple days.

You're wrong sir. I believe that's an awesome "Bucks in 4"

[SoF'nAwesome]

lol ya I am. I guess the way NovU lined the poll got me dozy. Anyway, the Bucks in 4 is thanks to me though

And @NovU, I don't believe that.

On topic, didn't like how the Heat played today. We can't be like this with a team like Bucks. Yes, LeBron had an off game and DWade was there to save the day. But it may not always be enough.

[_Steve_]

You don't get points for pretty games. If Heat have an "off-game" and still win by a dozen it's good enough for me...

[shadowgrin]

DWade was there to save the day.

The story of LeBron's career with the Heat. Always.

[NovU]

Well said.

Not pretty, but dominating.

The story of LeBron's career with the Heat. Always.

Got so much respect for DWade. But no, not true. Never always.

NovU, come on homie. You know better
