I can see the Heat losing Game 1 after the break they had, then take four straight. But I'ma say Brooklyn takes another one in between, so Heat in 6.

I'll be rooting like hell for Brooklyn, but it's not going to be a series unless Miami is significantly worse than they've been over the past 4 years.

Miami in 5, after ESPN talks about Brooklyn sweeping the Heat in the regular season constantly until the series starts lol.

I took Miami in 6 even though I do think Brooklyn does some things that help them have success in Miami.

Offensively they don't run a lot of ball screens, which kind of cancels out what Miami does better than anyone else in the league, and that's trap off of screens. They also like to switch on ball and off ball, which leads to another issue for them. If Brooklyn isn't using ball screens, they are concentrating more on moving the ball as well as moving their players via cuts and screens. Brooklyn is also very patient and works at finding the best available shot, which for a defense as active as Miamis means they are likely t start missing rotations and having communication breakdowns.

All the passing and patience looking for the best shot also creates another advantage for Brooklyn, it slows the game down and Miami has less chances to get out in transition, which they are obviously very good at.
