Road team up 3-2 on defending champ and loses Game 6 in a blowout and then let's Game 7 slip away after a double digit lead? 
Is this NBA finals series going to be like 2010?

It's very possible.
I think the Lakers were more hungry than the Heat though. Kobe and Gasol weren't going to lose to Boston twice after '08. I don't get that same feeling from the Heat. The Lakers in 2010 were motivated by revenge more than anything. The games in Boston were close and you never got that feeling that the Celtics were just outclassing the Lakers. It was just better effort. The Spurs look like they legitimately figured how to neutralize the Heat.
But...the Heat have HCA. And that's huge. The role players will come back. The starts will perform as usual and they're in a familiar environment. Hard to beat.
