Jordan4life_2007 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Jesus. I expected at least a competitive game. Pacers had their chance last year when Wade was hobbled and Bosh was puttin' up boxscores of like 5 and 5. I'll be shocked if the finals goes more than 5 games.

If a terrible Indiana team can take the heat to 6 I don't see why the western conference can't. I do think the heat win, but the spurs would give them some problems again.

The Heat are a much better playoff team now than they were last year. There's just no answer for LeBron at the 4, a healthy Wade, and 3 floor spacers at all times.

What were they doing this time last year? Wade was clearly hindered and Bosh was playing like a girl. Total opposite this year. And now you got Rashard Lewis ballin'? They're clearly better now than this time last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the Spurs are the same team from a year ago. There's nothing Pop can throw at LeBron that he didn't see last year. And like I said, Wade is healthy this time around. The plan they had coming in worked (helps that LeBron can carry the load in the reg season while Wade sits). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised if either happened, but I like the spurs chances much more than the thunder's. The thunder have more talent, but they 1) have Scott Brooks as the coach, and 2) their offense goes into iso mode a lot which isn't the way to beat the heat (probably due to Brooks). The Spurs are better than last year. Leonard is playing at a higher level, Manu is playing at a higher level than last year, and they just seem healthier. They went small against the Thunder last game (and brought Splitter off the bench) so they'll likely do something similar to the heat. Their ball movement is killer at points and they have homecourt advantage. It's going to be an interesting series if it happens and to completely dismiss the Spurs is kind of crazy.

I don't. Spurs have homecourt this year. If they stay healthy I think they'll beat the Heat. Which is a big IF. Also it's not that horrible 2-3-2 format like last year... tho they gotta beat OKC first lolol Edited June 1, 2014 by buhbuhburrrrlz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MexSoxFan#1 Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The Heat have looked 'dominant' because of the garbage conference they play in. Spurs have great ball movement, very good inside game and good shooters. Spurs in 6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those picking the Spurs are only doing so because they either hate the Heat or hate that LeBron is closing in on their hero. I haven't heard/read anything from the pro-Spurs crowd other than, "haha, the east sucks" and "homecourt, dude!". I've seen this movie before.

This obviously hinges on Parker not being dead but SA is just better than Miami this year. Spurs in 6 IF Parker is good to go. EDIT: BTW, even if Parker is completely broken the Heat still wont win in 5. Like I said before, you're absolutely insane to believe that.

I don't hate LeBron, dude is awesome, best player of his era, he's just not on MJ's level. In 5-6 years we'll be laughing at how you thought he was better than MJ. Remember when some people thought Kobe would surpass MJ? That crowd disappeared. Time has a way of placing players in their rightful place when being a prisoner of the moment fades. This will be just as funny as your Knicks = title contenders prediction. One more thing, stop acting like the Spurs didn't have a shot last year.
