I would prefer Miami, we would sweep them. I do not want the Bucks, they have the talent to catch fire for a series and surprise someone.

Miami has been red hot lately though. Also wouldn't mind seeing them battle Cleveland and make them work hard the first round.

He's been a key player in their resurgence -- Miami I believe is 8-17 without him, compared to 27-19 with him. It could cost them the playoffs. It could even keep him out of the beginning of the playoffs if they somehow do make it. Too bad for them, but Miami is not a team to worry about unless he comes back quickly.

He's proven to be a legit 2nd option on offense next to Dragic and gives them another player who can get into the lane and cause havoc for a defense.

The key game is next Tuesday, when Detroit and Miami play each other. The winner holds the advantage in a tiebreaker. If both teams go 4-6 in their other 10 games (quite possible), that game will be the decisive one.
