The Charlotte Bobcats really stood no chance in this series against the Miami Heat and that has been the case so far. They’ve put up more of a fight than anyone thought they would but that has ends dup being nothing more than a confidence building exercise.

Miami took Game 3 with relative ease and are now sitting a game away from being the only NBA team to sweep a playoff series in the first round.

One thing the Heat are likely watching more than they are game film on the Bobcats is the destruction of the Indiana Pacers and the battle going on between the Nets and Raptors. The Pacers falling apart is good news for the Heat which means their hardest series may come against either the Nets or Raptors in the next round.

But as for this series, things will likely get wrapped up this week and the Heat are almost guaranteed to sweep. Charlotte has fought admirably though but the Heat losing a game this week is as unlikely a scenario as they come.
