Playoff Pants Party: Heat Vs. Nets
Read More: Gary Payton , Jason Kidd , Miami Heat , New Jersey Nets , Vince Carter

The Nets and Heat tip off tonight in Miami, and it’s fun to play the game of “Who’s it less painful to root for: Pat Riley or Vince Carter?” Tough call, really; we tend to veer toward cutting Vince Carter some slack, if just because the guy clearly knows how to have a good time.
We don’t mean to say that people aren’t as excited about this series as they are the other three, but … well, tickets in East Rutherford are still available.
Here’s a look at the series from around the Web:
• Daily Quickien six.
• YAYSports!: Nets in seven.
• The Association: Heat in five.
• J.E. Skeets: Nets in seven.
• Complete Sports: Heat in seven.
• Chris Sheridan: Nets in seven.
• True Hoop: Heat in seven.
• Deadspin: Heat in six. Even though Gary Payton is the only point guard we know more tired and washed up than Jason Kidd, we have a feeling the Nets, deep down, kind of stink.
Your predictions in the comments, if you can work yourselves up to it on a Monday.
