yeah, the heat could not handle tyson in the finals last year either. and bron always has problems guarding melo and melo seems to relish playing bron. and shump on wade could be good.

i wouldn't love the heat, but it's not a horrible matchup for this team, either.

one thing i worry about for the playoffs is the danger that they might be trying to work amar'e or lin back in on the fly. that could be dangerous to the continuity and flow they have now. not that the team isn't better in the long run with those guys, but any time you have someone come back who commands so many shots and such a big role in the offense, there is an adjustment period. i'm more worried about that for amar'e than lin... but its more likely amar'e comes back than lin...

I think the Knicks have learned from the last time that it's dangerous to just force someone in, but then they added Jared back with no problem and TD has been OK, tho not great. It's possible that STAT could be played much like the Mavs do Dirk. Play him a token 3 mins and then take him out and then when Melo comes out bring in STAT. I think he'd be fine in the mix with the 2nd unit and not really hurt chemistry much that way.

If Amar'e was coming back this week it would be nice if he came off the bench but even if he started just like you said get him out early probably around the 6 or 7 minute mark when Landry goes out and Smith comes in. however if he did come of the bench it would open up the line up more and help that the second unit will have a go to guy. It also allow Chandler some rest. IS till want to see Melo and STAT at the 4 and 5 together.

I've been super impressed with Boston. I really though a while ago that they were in line to be the odd men out in the East because of their schedule. But they've been getting some real quality wins. I would have to say I'd rather face Chicago than Boston in the first round if that scenario opened up. Boston really scares me because of how hard they play on D and how clutch they are.

absolutely I would go as far and say I rather face the center-less & choke artist Heat than Boston who lets face it owns us. Athough we could've swept the season series if not for dantoni

There crushing the heat now..I don't want to see boston cause we haven't figured out how to stop rondo yet
