Miami would be screwed if they played in the West.

C'mon, you don't really believe that do you? Screwed? Because they are losing to Grizz short handed?

Let's not act like this is the first West team to handle them. They would be like 3 or 4 seed in the West and there is no way in hell they would get to the Finals

We finally playing Grizzlies basketball again. Smh

Took nearly getting eliminated from the playoffs

yea i have a feeling its gonna still go down to those last 2 games vs phx and dallas...gonna be intense

Another game given away after controlling it for almost the whole game. Wade needs to get his *** back in the line up enough of this hamstring crap. He'll play Friday due to the game being against Indy and its a big game. Then it wouldn't surprise me if he sits out again after that game.

I agree, thank god for the weak east
All this pacers talk the heat look just as bad. It would be funny if neither the heat or pacers make the finals

Looks like we're headed to another season where 50 wins won't be enough to get you to the playoffs in the West :x

Seriously the league needs to look at seeding 1-16 with record. The disparity has been really bad for at least 10 years now.

 

[murkn3m]

Welp, I'll be at the heat game on Friday

I'm not even going to bother, as the Heat consistently beats the top teams in the west throughout the season year after year. OKC won their first game since the finals against the Heat this year, they also handled the Spurs and Golden State.

I can see Miami being upset and lebron being upset and leaving. What team that has a superstar already can afford lebron?
I kinda hope the clips beat okc idk why

They get a cake walk until the conference finals every year tho

It's a difference playing a team twice and then having to play the Spurs, Clippers, Rockets, Thunder 4 times a year vs these other mediocre to bad squads in the East. They may still get to the Finals, but the 1st and 2nd round byes they have now would not happen.

 

[$tacy]

Meh I'd rather wait for kd

 

[imlive365]

Lol @ zbo grabbing lewis jersey trying to get to the 3 point line with the ball still not thrown in. 2 shots and the baall

 

[don ramon]

so this next game should be good huh

more about pride than anything

I think last year was the first cake walk, but the years prior Bulls had the best record in the league, Celtics were also a top team and they barely made it through. We know the East is weak but let's not act like the Heat ain't a top team on any conference. To say being 3rd in the West = screwed shows how much salt dude had in his comment.

 

[$tacy]

U know word to bhz I gotta commend Conley. Dude really is underappreciated and he's gotten better every year. Oj and Rudy were holding him back

 

[sosmoney23]

Wade is living the life right now. He's sitting out without any serious injuries while bron been draining himself to get them wins lol.

 

[blastercombo]

Go ahead and post the pics of lebron getting the trophy last year.

And then Rose got hurt at the beginning of the playoffs so how does that count?

They for sure could've made the finals in either xonference , jus would've been a wayyy harder route there. This year they really on paper should demolish every team not named Indiana, will it happen? Who knows. Their fate lies in d wades knees

 

[nelson999]

The Pacers tanking plan failed miserably.
