Watch out...

You'd think that OKC would have this... Easily...

Yet... Don't forget the 2-3-2 format. If anything, the road team has an advantage in this format.

Yet.... It's difficult to say that teams like LA or Miami have any sort of homecourt advantage. Their fans are so quiet and sucktastic.

Bosh is gonna be fighting a new animal, Serge Ibaka. Unlike all the other punks he's face, Ibaka is just as long and athletic and a lot meaner.

The frontcourt of OKC has gotta plug the middle and force Wade and Lebron to become jumpshooters.

For Miami: Will their role players continue to score? Chalmers, Miller, Battier, Haslem, Jones etc have all had their moments... Especially Chalmers. When he's shooting well from the outside he nearly makes Miami impossible to defend.
For OKC: My biggest concern? Westbrook. Is he going to play under control in his first Finals? If he tries to take on Miami by himself he might just screw his team up. Get the ball to KD, don't turn it over, and create dunks/wide open baseline jumpers for the bigs.

Perkins and Ibaka will shut down Bosh so it's basically Harden, Westbrook, Durant vs Wade and LeBron. I think OKC got this pretty easily

I don't think so. Bosh isn't a 1 on 1 player anymore. He spreads the floor and shoots jumpers, or crashes the glass for putback or dump offs. He will spread the floor much better than Duncan, who the Thunder were daring to take open jumpers. I think Bosh will have a very good series, maybe not as an individual, but at least at keeping a big out of the lane.

Exactly. Either Bosh will score a fair amount of points or he will clear up the lane for LeBron and Wade. As for who wins, I think it will be the Heat. As hungry as the Thunder think they are, they haven't lost in the Finals. Especially twice like LeBron. They haven't seen the adversity of feeling like the world is rooting against them. The Thunder are a fantastic team, but at the end of the day, to me, the best players on the Heat want it more than the Thunder, and that's why they'll win.
 
What Bosh did to KG in game 7 he can do to either big OKC puts on him. It's a huge advantage and cripples a D's ability to react to penetration, which is what the other 2 do. LB has been posting up. Not great yet but another weapon, he also shot immediately after receiving a pass much better than I'd ever seen. This Heat team is extraordinary.

If OKC wins it will be from smart play from their stars. If they can share correctly they cannot be defended, and they have the advantage in the paint. I'm not sure I'd put money on that happening though.

Hard to root for either team for me personally, knowing all my friends in Seattle are watching this the same way I watched the Ravens SB. BS. Honestly from a fan standpoint I root for Miami regardless of how much of a tard LB was. I hate him too, but F OKC. Get your own franchise.


Edit to say again. F OKC. I thought with some time it would be different but no. Even as much as I hate LeB. I cannot stand this team. F them and everything they stand for.

I want LeDouche to lose badly, so I'll be pulling for Durant and OKC. But Miami has to have a slight edge here because of their Finals experience. They win the intangibles department. Otherwise the teams are almost evenly matched.
Thunder has to win their first 2 games, so that all they would have to do is steal 1 in Miami.
 
This is going to be intense.
Bosh is having fun with the three ball, so that right there is probably picking at the brain of Scott Brooks.

I hate to say it, but I've been feeling that this might be the Heat's year. Everybody thought that after Boston won in Miami that it was over for them... you got to remember, there's potentially 7 games in a series. There was much more weight on the Celtics than there was on the Heat going into game 6, due to the fact that Boston could dismantle at any moment with age. You got LeBron and Wade who can turn the fire on at any time, in which was what the Celtics didn't have.

But then, Oklahoma has 3 great players themselves. A superstar in Kevin Durant. An all star in Westbrook. An all star that is brewing in James Harden.

Derek Fisher could cause problems to Miami's point guard department, he still seems to get off at times. And, you have Durant.The most lethal man in the business. You can't forget that this team shut down two championship teams this year in the playoffs already with ease. It took the Heat 7 games to take out a Celtics team that was having problems all season long with age, injuries, and a lack of bench. Who out of Rondo, KG, Pierce and Allen did they have to carry weight? Brandon Bass... not enough, but still.. almost was.

Im just going to wait to put in a dead *** serious prediction.
 
Bosh had one good game, he is useless on the defensive end and he isn't that great of a rebounder to get boards over Perkins, Ibaka and even Collison. Bosh isn't worth 16 million, he is way overpaid and overrated. OKC in 5 or 6 depending on how Westbrook plays.

Hmmm useless on defense? Garnett's production sure seemed to dip when Bosh returned. Coincidence? Miami went 4-5 this year without Bosh. Just sayin.
 
Heat in 6.

Bosh, along with Miami's small lineup, will bring Ibaka out of the paint, allowing James and Wade to attack with ease.

OKC has no one who can post up. Miami isn't a great back to the basket team, but they're better than OKC in this very important department.

Miami has more experience.

Lebron has been the MVP of the regular season AND the playoffs.
 
Told you guys Bosh is USELESS and Perkins isn't worth 8 million. Been saying this the entire playoffs, Collison is a MUCH better fit for OKC than Perkins.
