 To win and play Cleve that is....which one could beat Cleve...? Miami looks good, but D Wade is hurt again, back problems, although he is playing like "The Man!" Oneil is doing okay.......I am not sure which one could do it....they both look good..!

I think the Miami Heat would have the better chance at taking out the Cavaliers. Wade have yet to have a big game in these playoffs. Wade could have a monster game at any moment. Even if they don't beat the Cavaliers, I'm pretty sure they would give them more trouble than the Hawks. The Hawks do not have anybody to defend Lebron. I think the Heat match up pretty well against the Cavaliers.

Who knows.. maybe if the Sixers beat the Magic and we beat the Bulls. We could play Philly in the second round then if the Heat beat the Cavaliers we can play Miami in the ECF.  ;D

That would be much easier than playing the Magic and Cavs.

Yes, the Magic lost their only two players that have been playing well in this series. It will be tough for them to win tomorrow night.

Other than Turkgolu making that big shot in game 4, him and Lewis has sucked all series.

Horford is hurt now,,too bad, he is big young and good....but it wasn't really a dirty play, a hard swipe at the block...sort of dirty, Miami can be rough....

If wade could get 100% healthy....or at least not really hurt, everyone plays with some pain...but not lower back, knee or ankle, those kill ya..! Atlanta might be able to stop Cleve, if they had everyone, Marvin Williams, Horford, the yutes could do it, I mean youths....!

Personally I would like to see Atlanta vs. Cleveland.  I honestly don't know if I could handle the manufactured hype around a LeBron-DWade matchup.

I hate to say it, but I think the Cavs are gonna roll over either one of these teams.  Miami could give them a little trouble with a healthy Wade, but I think he's gonna be banged up for the duration.  Atlanta can't score in the halfcourt, and that's exactly where Cleveland's gonna make them play.  I can't see either team taking them beyond 5, maybe 6 if they really put it together.

Eh, it wouldn't be as bad as Kobe vs LeBron would / will be.

That said, Miami doesn't have a prayer of beating Cleveland in a 7 game series.  Atlanta doesn't either, but they have a better shot at giving them a good series if they play well at home.

I don't know about you but I am rooting for Philly to beat Orlando and Miami to win this series.
1. Because Cleveland will beat all of these teams
2. Miami (with banged up D-Wade) is a worse team than Atlanta, so if Philly is gonna win a I want to play Miami.
