Philly hung relatively close in Game 1 in South Florida but was blown off the court in Game 2, 94-73. LeBron James finished with 29 points and outscored the Sixers’ starting five by himself in the first half. Chris Bosh added 21 points and 11 rebounds. The 76ers were held to their second-lowest playoff scoring total in the last 56 years. The Philly starting five was outscored by a whopping 76-29 overall. Afterward Coach Doug Collins basically admitted his team doesn’t have a shot if the Heat are playing their best – and right now they are. Overall Miami has won 17 of its past 20 games.

The fact that tonight’s game in Philadelphia might not be a great thing. In several significant statistical measures during the regular season, the Heat were superior on the road. It seems like LeBron and Co. thrive in the role of villains. James shot 52.3 percent on the road, the first season he has ever made at least half his shots in road games. He scored 27.9 points per game away, 25.6 at home. The Heat have gone 7-1 on the road since March 5, with the only loss at Cleveland. The 76ers have won 25 of their past 35 at home.

The Sixers will need to be much better offensively. They have shot just 37.8 percent from the field in the two games. Take away their first quarter in Game 1, in which they made 14 of 23, and they are shooting just 48-for-141 (34 percent) over the last seven quarters.
