Anyone know Bron Bron's record in Memphis? He's lost there a lot it seems.

Not really. They aren't as good this year as they were last year. And they weren't as good last year as they were the year before.

The Heat have been on coast mode almost the entire season.

And it's going to cost them home-court in the Finals, which is a big deal no matter what people try to say.

People shouldn't say stuff like this about regular season results in the NBA.

The Heat aren't winning back-to-back series without home-court IMO. They need to beat Indiana in the next game, which they should do.

I know we beat them by like 20 last year in Memphis. Rudy Gay also hit a game winner against them in Memphis IIRC.

It's more serious than that. But these guys are why the playoffs are so fun. Wait until they realize Miami is actually not legit bad at basketball

Your comment is fricking retarded.

No it's not.

They're not THAT great. They are nothing super special. Certainly not some kind of "all-time" team.

They're beatable. One of I guess 5-ish teams with a chance to win it all? Not a great, great team like they were probably in 2012.

Didn't the Heat give up home court advantage last year in three straight series? I am pretty sure the Bulls, Pacers, and Spurs all took one of the first two from the Heat.

I think that home court can be a big thing in the NBA, but the Heat have won 2/3 and been to three straight finals. I just don't think winning on the road is as bad as you make it sound for them. They have done it a ton in this era in the playoffs.

What the Heat need to worry about is to stop turning the ball over and getting healthy. They are the best team if healthy. That is a big if, however.

The quality of role players on their team has fallen off. They were fine when DWade missed games last year because they could bring in Mike Miller to start.

Battier is retiring after this season. Ray Allen is getting old.

Ok ok, I won't bust your balls over semantics. I'm not sure if anyone thinks they're an all time great team this year though.

The big difference is Miami had home court in game 7 of each of those series. Teams rarely ever lose home game 7's.

They got two Game 7s at home.

They've done it in a must-win scenario once, and it was one of the best games LeBron has ever played. If they have to play a Game 7 in Indiana or San Antonio, that won't be fun. Would still be confident they could beat Indiana, though.

Of course the year the Spurs would get home-court over Miami they switch away from the 2-3-2 format, which severely favors the team with home-court.

I disagree. I think San Antonio is the best overall team. But I'm not sure if they'll beat OKC. The whole OKC > San Antonio > Miami > OKC rock-paper-scissors thing is very interesting.

This is probably the end of Miami's run so if they want to close it out correctly they need to get their shite together quick.

They are going to get crushed by the luxury tax this offseason.

They are something crazy like 52-10 when Kawhi Leonard is in the lineup.

Full disclosure, Idgaf about the Heat. For all I care the entire bench can break their big toe and be out all playoffs. I'm here to watch Lebron kick the shite out of everybody while getting hated on. If he goes to play in China, I'll root for whoever the hell he goes to, by default.

Looking back, the Heat with Lebron are 0-3 in Memphis.

I try to hate them and just can't. Minus the flopping, they play my favorite style of basketball.
