    Livingston starts, and makes for an interesting cross match situation. Who do they use on Wade or Rio? My guess is that they use Livingston on Wade, Deron on Rio, in which case, Rio has to take it to the hole repeatedly.

    Best Chance for the Nets to win a game in Miami is tonight.

    Heat has performed poorly after layoffs in the playoffs before, losing Game 1 vs. Chicago last year in rd. 2 as 1 example.

    So, while the number keeps going up and is now at Heat -8, I would caution against a bet there. I do love the Heat in GM2 at any number up to -9.

    Yeah, I'm not worried about them beating us but they have just been a pleasant surprise. They are a well rounded team when firing at all cylinders. Having moved out of FL I am relegated to watching the Wiz these days when Miami isn't on national TV.

    Heat and spurs roll tonight..
    Shocked the clippers killed okc last night. That's a team that's going to have to win the whole thing for me to be sold on them

    Knicks note...Dallas is interested in re acquiring Tyson Chandler. Can I sign up now for a package of 2 1sts and a 18m Trade exception for Chandler and Felton?

    My call earlier was the Chicago special. Gentleman's sweep where they take the first game.

    PG, C and pierce should have a mismatch then our bench outplays your bench by 12 points

    Disagree the two games I would write off for the nets are gm 1 and 7. Games 2 through 6 are where we will shine

    I would say it's Roy Hibbert, but the evidence is inconclusive.

    That's what I was expecting after a 7 gm series. I expect a less lethargic effort thursday

    Not sure if Marcus Thornton is just playing to the final whistle, or vying for garbage-time MVP.

    In before the Skip Bayless's of the world use the "Kidd let the Heat blow the Nets out on purpose to get in their heads" excuse.

    I'll be in BK for 3 & 4 at least. Hope to be there for the sweep this time, Knicks in 2012 Game 4 is still on my mind.

    Heat are afraid of playing the Nets.... they swept them in the regular season.

    Chicago won gm 1 vs. Heat after a 7 gm series, after the heat swept an opponent. Sound familiar?

    First, we are afraid to face you (said no one but you, ever), and then you have an "expected" loss. Yeah you just finished a 7 game series i know...You must still be exhausted from being 5 seconds away from torontos first playoff series win ever.... Game 2 through 6 is where youll shine right? I wouldnt mind knowing the excuse for game 2 ahead of time. Inb4 that one is expected too.

    The Heat made that look easy. I expect that the Nets will make adjustments and there should be at least one of those games where they can't miss and Miami can't finish. But even in the first half when the game was close my feeling was that Miami was the far superior team. It appeared inevitable that they would win and most likely Miami would win big after getting separation with a couple of big runs. I just don't see any advantage anywhere for the Nets. They can get the occasional big shots from Williams and Pierce. And Johnson and Thornton are consistent offensive threats, but the Heat's players are even or better across the board. The Nets can keep it close as long as they play cohesive defense (like any team can), but the Heat plays better cohesive defense too. This feels like a sweep or a 5 game series at best right now. I expect things to look somewhat more even going forward, but just like the game, a Miami series win feels inevitable.

    I think that was because of the types of shots. The Heat were getting to the rim at will and making a lot of high percentage shots. The Nets were relying on hitting an abnormal percentage on jumpers (>60% on threes) to just stay close. Over a long period of time that is a recipe for losses.

    The heat held KG to his first point-less playoff game, while lebron hits the youngest player to ever have 4000 career playoff points. Total fluke win.

    Absolutely. There's no way superior shot selection and moving the ball can beat iso play and jacking up contested deep threes for a whole series...

    NONE
