Philadelphia 76ers vs. Miami Heat (-3) - Preview

If you don\'t know, Philadelphia has the same record as Miami. And all we know who they are, Philadelphia is a team consisted by one true star, Andre Iguodala, two veterans, Tony Battie and Elton Brand and many young talents who are becoming great players. This team has the required potential to become a serious pretender for the title in the next 2-3 years. They managed to beat the top placed team in the Eastern Conference, Chicago in their previous match. Both teams played without starters, 76ers without center Hewes, the Bulls without Deng and Hamilton. Philadelphia play defensive, but sometimes their matches go over 210 points.
From the other side, Miami is the main favorite for the title, but their recent performances are not as expected. They can easily make 10 points advantage against anyone, but they lose it easily. That happened against Milwaukee in their last match in which Miami scored 40 points in the 1/4, but lost in the end. The lead of over 15 points wasn\'t enough. Miami is complete now, all the players are healthy. I don\'t expect to underestimate the opponent and it will be good for them. They are too strong for the young 76ers. The tradition in the last years is on their side and i expect to continue.
