Eastern Conference Preview


1. Chicago Bulls vs 2. Miami Heat

It's come down to the top seeded teams in the East, the one with homecourt advantage may be the underdog though. The Miami Heat come into this series with an 8-2 playoff record winning both their previous series in 5 games convincingly, Chicago comes in at 8-3, though saying they won convincingly would be a false statement, The Bulls struggled against arguably the two worst teams left in their respective rounds, until the final game against the Hawks, the Bulls had not won a game in convincing fashion. You can attribute that to the obvious lack of playoff experience the Bulls have, that won't stack up too well in my eyes to the Miami Heat's hungry playoff hardened roster. Derek Rose will have to be 100% healthy, and Carlos Boozer will have to give the Bulls more than he's been exerting in the previous 11 games if Chicago is to win the series. Right now though, the Heat look like the best team in the NBA alongside the Dallas Mavericks, Lebron and company should roll to another series win en route to the Heat's second NBA finals in 5 years. Prediction - Miami Heat in 6
