The Miami Heat will not only have to defend the Freak, but everyone else too.

More recently, Robinson showed flashes defending Ben Simmons, Jayson Tatum, and also showed similar chops against Khris Middleton in Game One, which will be huge for Miami if he can keep it up. The same stands for Tyler Herro.

He’s going back home, so this likely going to be big for him. The state of Wisconsin has been attacking him since he opted out of going to college at Wisconsin to choose Kentucky.

So, this year, he’s going to play in Milwaukee as a pro in the playoffs with a chip on his shoulder. I would dare to bet that he has one game where he just, flat-out, goes off.

Moving towards a close and if the question was what would the Miami Heat get from Goran Dragic this postseason, then Game One should be a great answer. Plainly speaking, he is a gamer and may have more than one postseason left in him if he can keep this up.

As seen on Saturday, Dragic is another one who can hurt Milwaukee in the pick and roll. He will need to keep it up to continue to give Miami a shot.

Personally, I think the East is still wide open for Miami to be the the skunk at the garden party. This team isn’t scared of anyone and with Butler at the head of the snake, you have to like Miami’s chance against almost everyone

Here’s to showing you the faith still have in this team. When it comes to a prediction and even with a Game One defeat, it’s still Miami in six games.
