Music to listen to: I Can’t Go For That by Hall and Oates

What to expect from Miami:  This is now the time for Miami to put aside all of the regular season drama and make the march towards the championship.  We’re going t see if two of the top five basketball players who essentially do the same thing can thrive in the playoffs with out a legitimate post threat or a decent point guard.

I expect Dwayne Wade to have a big series because the physical defensive style of the Sixers will try their best to stop LeBron James which will open things up for the shooting guard.

What to expect from Philadelphia:  The Sixers will play hard, get some solid contributions from Andre Iguodla and continue to rely on a solid bench that features Thaddeus Young and Lou Williams and honestly hope for the best.

Prediction:  Miami in five

The Heat have the top three players in the entire series but Philadelphia will play hard.

The problem for the Sixers is that Miami plays defense just as well, maybe even better in some aspects, and the difference in the two offenses is significant.

This will also be a good series for Chris Bosh to become comfortable in the playoffs because for the Heat to even come close to winning a championship, he must emerge as a viable third option.
