NBA  > General NBA  > Let's just go straight to the finals and not worry about the season. Lakers vs. Heat
August 16, 2012, 12:23 AM
Let's not waste everybody's time with playing an 82 game season. It's all elementary, it's going to be the Lakers and the Heat in next year's finals.

The Lakers are a lock to make the finals. Is there any doubt?

How about the Heat? They've added players to defend their title. Any doubt about their ability to make the finals to defend their title?

Lakers a lock for the finals huh... They might not even make the playoffs at this stage.. I will admit I did think they would do better than this but to call them a lock that early is forgetting that they still have to play games to get there...... And that guy above actually called the Heat the biggest bust of all time....

I knew from day one that they would not make the finals.
They play very poor defense as a team.

Steve Nash game is gone.
Dwight Howard can not shoot free throws.

They might not even make the payoffs...and surely will not get out of the first round.

No team is unbeatable...but their is no team out their that matches up with the Heat, those teams have no depth, or have injuries.

If the playoffs was one and done, it would be wide open...but this is the best of seven, and nobody can beat the Heat FOUR times
