I think this series will decide the future of the experiment by Miami. If they lose, it could be the end of Spolstra and Bosh in South Beach.

Or Wade.

Or Wade.

 

Exactly.

 

I haven't watched much this season. How often do Durant, Westbrook, and Harden generally share the court? Guarding this 3 in the half court will zap a lot of James and Wade's energy on the other end

Seems like they are on the court together all of the time by the 2nd quarter. Of course they had to guard Rondo, Pierce, Allen and KG as well so it will definitely be interesting to see. Westbrook ignores Durant so much that Lebron will get some on court breaks. :lol:

This is going to be such a fun series to watch!

 

I'm going with Heat in 6.

 

 

Thunder have been rolling people but I like the way the Heat matchup with them, its a bad matchup for OKC. Bosh can take Ibaka outside and get him away from the goal with the help side D. Perkins may have one big game against Miami's bigs but he's not going to put up 20 a night like they need him to do. Durant and James is going to be a battle, as is Harden/Wade, Westbrook/Wade, Battier/Harden, Chalmers/Westbrook. Can't wait for this one to start.

I'm looking forward to it. I think it will be a great series. I would love to see the Thunder get a ring. Would love Durant to win himself one, as well as Nazr Mohammed.

I think Nazr won in San Antonio but could be mistaken. He may have been a starter for them actually.

Sticking with my preseason pick of the Heat to win it all. Interested to see the match ups.

Looked it up, you are correct. I forgot about that.

 

Well I'd still like to see them win.

Im torn here. I kinda want Miami to win, so Lebron wins, and its kinda a stick it to Cleveland (I hate all things Cleveland) Then again, I think Oklahoma is doing things right and want them to win (and a stick it to Seattle isnt to bad either)

I'm kind of with you on this.

If Bosh can play significant minutes I say the Heat wins the series.

I'm anxious to see what Harden does. After his antics with Jackson and the Spurs, I'm more convinced than before that he intended contact with Mettaworldidiot. And Metta whacked his gourd with an elbow. I don't know what it is that makes Harden think he's a bad man, but I wonder how Wade will respond if he tries to punk him in the same manner?

 

And I say the Heat in 6.

I can't wait to watch this series...plus Tiger is back (maybe) and 4 days of US Open on DirecTV with the special golf package they run on 4-5 channels. And the Reds are in first. Big week of sports on television this week!!! I'd really love to see Tiger win the Open..guy has paid the price for his issues and then some and golf is so much better to watch when he is in the thick of it on Sundays.

Thank you. I'm glad someone else saw in Harden what plantman and I both saw.
