Do you think less of the Lakers for losing to the Bobcats by 20 last night? I don’t. It’s the friggin regular season.

The Heat were in all three games against the Celtics even though that core has been together for three years. Do I think the Heat can sweep the C’s? No, but I don’t think they’d get steamrolled in a playoff series.

As is, I’m taking the C’s to win the championship but I wouldn’t sleep on D-Wade (when he has help) in a playoff series.

Not only did they win the reg. season series, but both of their wins were blowouts. That stat would have fit better into the post.
