NBA Playoffs 2013: Strengths And Weaknesses Of The Final Four
We’re in the home stretch now, as just four trams remain in the 2013 NBA playoffs. Let’s take a look at all four remaining squads and pinpoint the strengths and weaknesses of each of them. Miami Heat Strengths: -LeBron James Why mince words? Having the best player in the universe on your team is a pretty clear advantage. There’s no player he can’t guard, and he can power his way to the basket possession after possession. When he’s on his game, there’s really nothing opponents can do to stop, or even contain...

In recent years, the Miami Heat have become one of the most notable and successful franchises in NBA history. They began play in 1988 and raised their first championship banner in 2006. In 2012, the Heat won yet another championship and look primed to possibility net a third title in 2013. The times haven’t always been so easy for the Heat, however, as they spent several years trying to become relevant in the NBA. During those times, and even today, they have gone through the ups and downs of good and bad draft picks. The franchise has...

Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant. Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Karl Malone and John Stockton. The list goes on. Throughout the history of the NBA, there have been lethal combos that took the league by storm. Now, there’s LeBron James and Dwyane Wade. When the Big Three Era commenced in 2010, many wondered whether James and Wade could coexist, seeing as they have similar styles of play. We didn’t know who would take the lead role and how exactly the team would function, especially in crunch time when the Heat needed a basket. Who...

The Miami Heat rallied from eight points down heading into the fourth quarter on Wednesday, May 15, holding the short-handed Chicago Bulls to just 14 fourth-period points for a 94-91 win in Game 5 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series. The win gave Miami a five-game win over the gritty Bulls, who led 53-47 at halftime and 77-69 after three quarters. This series was marked by the Bulls soldiering on without its franchise player—former MVP Derrick Rose missed the entire season recovering from a torn ACL suffered in the first game of last...

The Chicago Bulls melted down in Game 2 of their Eastern Conference semifinal series with the Miami Heat on Wednesday, May 8, and the result was historic. Miami’s 115-78 win was the most lopsided postseason win in Heat franchise history, topping a 99-64 victory over the Orlando Magic in Game 1 of a first-round series on April 24, 1997. It was also the most lopsided playoff loss ever for the Bulls. Three times previously, Chicago had lost by 26 points in the playoffs—April 1, 1971, to the Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference...

The whole universe was pretty much ready to crown the defending champion Miami Heat, there and then, as Oklahoma City’s Russell Westbrook went down with a torn meniscus. After all, who was now going to challenge such a loaded Heat squad? Turns out coach Tom Thibodeau’s Derrick Rose-less Chicago Bulls didn’t get the memo because they are currently giving the champs all they can handle right now and I genuinely fear they may actually pull off the series win. Nonetheless, despite the 2012-13 Miami Heat team is struggling to fulfill its...

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Miami Heat 93-86 in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series on Monday night behind a big win in the Joakim Noah vs. Chris Bosh matchup. The Bulls got strong games from Nate Robinson and Jimmy Butler as a result. Going deeper into the matchup, we see that Noah has been dominating Bosh for a while now and it’s going to continue to be a major problem for the Heat. Bosh isn’t a true center and we’re all aware of that. Because of that, he’s often able to take advantage of matchups...

The second round of the 2013 NBA Playoffs has begun for all eight teams and it hasn’t exactly gone smoothly for the New York Knicks, Miami Heat, Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors. Each team feels like they’ve been punched in the stomach, with all of them having legitimate chances to win their opening game. Let’s play some fact or fiction with the teams who have fallen behind in the second round. Fact or Fiction: The New York Knicks should be extremely worried about their lack of rebounding against the Indiana...
read moreNBA Playoffs 2013: Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat Preview
The Chicago Bulls vs. Miami Heat series seems like a mismatch on paper. The NBA playoffs are often about catching an opponent at the right time. Unfortunately for the Chicago Bulls, this isn’t that time. The Miami Heat are rolling and are well rested, while the Bulls are off of an emotional Game 7 win on the road against the Brooklyn Nets. Should we just crown the Heat, then? Of course not! Stranger things have happened, but this feels more like David vs. Goliath instead of the Goliath vs. Goliath we’d like to see. Likely Starting...
