The Heat are looking good right now. They may end up winning it all if they can stick together and continue playing together. I don't think they will because of the Thunder and Spurs. Hopefully the rest of the playoffs are good nail bitters

Series Breakdown
Game 1
Heat 95 - Pacers 86
Forward LeBron James scored a game-high 32 points while Dwyane Wade added 29 points and four assists. The Heat won despite forward Chris Bosh missing the second half with a strained abdominal muscle.
Game 2
Pacers 78 - Heat 75
The Pacers had four players score in double-figures, led by forward David West's 16 points and 10 rebounds. Guard George Hill added 15 points while Danny Granger contributed 10 and Paul George 10.
Heat forward LeBron James led all scorers with 28 points and Dwyane Wade finished with 24, but it wasn't enough. Miami was playing without forward Chris Bosh (stomach), and received little help from the supporting cast.
Game 3
Pacers 94 - Heat 75
Everyone got to see just how good these Pacers could be. George Hill was 3/4 from behind the 3 point line and finished with 20 points to led Indiana. Roy Hibbert added 19 points and 18 rebounds along with Danny Grangers 17 points.
As for the Miami Heat in Game 3, well lets just say its one game Wade will want to forget, going 2/13 for the field and 5 turnovers with 5 points.
Game 4
Heat 101 - Pacers 93
LeBron James and Dwyane Wade combined for 70 points, including 38 in a row in a span of more than 13 minutes, as Miami rallied from a 10-point deficit to beat Indiana 101-93.The Heat tied the series at 2-2 and regained homecourt advantage as the teams head to Miami for Game 5. James scored 40 with 18 rebounds and nine assists, while Wade shook off another slow start to score 22 of his 30 in the second half, hitting 10 of 13 shots to erase the memory of his five-point outing in Game 3. Indiana got 20 points from Danny Granger but big men Roy Hibbert and David West both were limited by foul trouble and combined for just 18 points and 15 boards. IMO: Lebron James had one of the best playoff games I can remember. Also IMO, This was a big game for Lebron James' career because without his 40, 18, and 9 Miami would've been down 3-1.
Game 5
Heat 115 - Pacers 83
Miami was led by forward LeBron James, who scored a game-high 30 points, had 10 rebounds and eight assists. Guard Dwyane Wade turned in his second straight solid game with 28 points on 10-for-13 shooting. The Pacers had their worst offensive game of the series, shooting 30-for-89 from the field. They also have to deal with injuries to Danny Granger (ankle) and David West (knee). Granger missed most of the second half after aggravating the sprained left ankle he sustained late in the second quarter.
Game 6
Heat 105 - Pacers 93
The individual brilliance of Dwyane Wade and LeBron James proved too much for the collective will of the Indiana Pacers. Miami's dynamic duo combined for 69 points, including 41 from Wade, as the Heat closed out the Eastern Conference semifinal series with a 105-93 victory over Indiana in Game 6. James scored 10 of his 28 in the fourth quarter, including six in a row that put it away after the Pacers cut the lead to six. All five Indiana starters scored in double figures led by David West's 24 but it wasn't enough to keep the season from coming to an end.
All I heard coming into this series is that the Indiana Pacers Defense would give James and Wade and the Miami Heat a hard time. But it didn't happen. Miami scored 95+ points in 4 of the 6 games.
