Can anyone beat the Heat?

Does anyone think there's a team that can actually beat the Heat in the playoffs. I mean if you think about it, they've gone like 36-2 or something to end the season.One of those loses Lebron and Wade weren't playing. So really the Bulls have really been the only team to actually beat them, and that was a hard fought battle, there's no way they could beat them in a 7 game series. So can the Thunder, Knicks or Pacers do it? I doubt any of the rest would even win a game.

    Definitely, the Heat can be beaten. What they lack is size, with no true center (Bosh is mainly a PF and would rather hit the midrange than post up). Therefore, teams with size can cause problems for them. This means teams like the Pacers, Bulls, Spurs and maybe even the Lakers if they get their act together. Also, if you can stretch their defence, they are susceptible. The Knicks have been able to do this all season. And, finally, some teams are just good enough to challenge them, like the Thunder and Clippers.

    No. It's the playoffs, the east is a joke, Lebron wants the rings, and they beat almost every team in their winning streak. They are on their way to a 3rd straight NBA finals appearance. I have a feeling that the Heat will be dominant like the bulls were in the 90s.

    The Heat will experience the most criticism if they not only make it to the finals, but win it all. If any other team loses in the playoffs, people won't care that much, but the Heat are expected to win it all.

    Spurs or Knicks are the only teams with a chance of beating the Heat (Only if the Knicks shoot the lights out from 3PT range considering they live and die by the 3PT line) Pacers would give them trouble but they would not win a series and OKC is a bad match up for the Heat with their style of play if they play the heat again in the finals it will be another 5-6 game series

    The Knicks, Pacers, Celtics, Thunder, Spurs, Nuggets, and Grizzlies could all beat the heat. I'm not saying any of them will or that they all have a great chance, but they all potentially could.
