The Heat have flaws, to be sure, but I'm really not sure who is going to expose them in the playoffs. The Bulls are likely to be the best-coached contender, and they do look pretty damn good. The big problem there is we've all seen what happens when LeBron guards Rose, and without Rose being amazing, the Bulls are a .500 team at best. After that, it's who? OKC? I love 'em but not sure they can get out of the West never mind beat the Heat...
Stoney makes sensible points, and his concerns have certainly proven to be justified in the past, but let's not get too crazy about this loss. They played OT against a young run-and-gun team last night! In a normal season, this one would have been pencilled in the books by the coaches as a loss before they got on the plane. Both GSW and the Clippers can score fast enough to make any team look bad on the wrong night.
