Vote: Miami Heat vs. Washington Wizards


The ultimate goal for each of the 16 teams in the NBA postseason is 16 wins a parade with a shiny trophy. Eight teams survived the initial best-of-seven challenge to advance to the second round. Will any of the favorites fall in the conference semifinals? We're asking SportsNation to break down each second-round series.

No. 1 Miami vs. No. 5 Washington: Gilbert Arenas made a name for himself in the first round, hitting a game-winning shot in Game 5 and leading the long-suffering Washington franchise to a playoff series win. Doing it again the second round against mighty Miami would leave Arenas in the company of names like Hercules and David. What will happen?
  • 1) What is Miami's biggest weakness?
  • 2) Shaquille O'Neal averaged 18.3 points and 8.8 rebounds in the first round, down from 22.9 ppg and 10.4 rpg in the regular season. What's your take?
  • 3) Would the Wizards winning the series be the greatest upset in playoff history?
  • 4) Who has the edge on the perimeter?
  • 5) Who has the edge down low?
  • 6) Who has the edge off the bench?
  • 7) Who has the edge in coaching?
  • 8) Who would you want taking the last shot for Miami?
  • 9) Who would you want taking the last shot for Washington?
  • 10) Who wins the series?
