The final game in our opening weekend of the NBA Playoffs saves the best for last. The Miami Heat were crowned the champions of basketball last season, and they tip off their opening round series against the up-start Milwaukee Bucks Sunday evening.

Miami enters the series heavy favorites to not only roll past the Bucks, but make a return to the NBA Finals to defend their crown. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade are playing lights out this season, but something new is happening on a more consistent basis — the rest of the team is also playing well. We all knew the day would come when the Heat clicked on all levels, and it appears the day has arrived.

That’s good news for the folks in South Beach, bad new for Bucks fans who unfortunately have to be the first in the Heat’s playoff slaughter line.
