This game could end up being the best game of the entire season. Not only do the Miami Heat get to face their playoff rivals, but they get to do it at home.
Milwaukee swept Miami in the playoffs last year on their way to winning the title. However, the Heat ousted the Bucks in five games just one year prior to that.
There has to be some bad blood between these two franchises. That will only be elevated by the fact that Miami stole PJ Tucker away from the Bucks.
The Bucks are coming off of a championship run, while the Heat are looking to get revenge after being bounced in Round 1. Neither team will want to lose this game.
Regardless of who you believe is the better team, this matchup is going to be electric to watch. Both teams play with great passion, and that should make for an amazing basketball game.
