OKC vs. MIA Finals, hypothetically how would it play out?

[havoc]

Would be a dope storyline know that much, the new MVP vs the former MVP

The 1st and 2nd best player, both are MVP winners at the same position are playing for the championship. There hasn't been the makings of a rivalry like this ever in NBA history. Russell & Chamberlain was similar but they're battles mostly happened before the Finals.

The storylines on this one

This wont be a historical story line to remember because the series is going to end quickly like the 2012 finals. OKC has no chance against Miami. We all know that story is going to turn out with Durant crying

Why has this thread been made when both series are still ongoing?

I put hypothetically

breh, everyone knows MIA is winning the East

And OKC definitely winning the West... with a small chance of defeat

Rather see a repeat of last years teams than OKC-Heat.

2012 was a weak ass finals. Have no desire to revisit that matchup.

Kevin Durant will forever and always be "The Servant" to "The King."

Heat in 5.

It depends on if Ibaka is 100%

If he's hobbled slight edge miami. If he's healthy OKC had the big advantage.

I can see the series playing out like this

Game 1 - Miami 97, OKC 105 - Despite 30-5-6 from Lebron James, Kevin Durant showed why he's the true MVP compiling a 40-10-11 triple double along with 3 blocks as OKC cruises to an easy game 1 victory.

Game 2 - Miami 89, OKC 110 - Led by 25 from Westbrook, OKC holds miami to 35% shooting and Serge Ibaka notches 6 blocks as Lebron James and D Wade combined to shoot 10-40

Game 3 - Miami 110, OKC 109 - A thrilling win for Miami as Ray Allen's 3 seals their victory as lebron notches a triple double and wade shoots 65% from the field.

Game 4 - Miami 95, OKC 98 - Kevin Durants stepback 3 gets OKC one step closer to their first championship. Despite 30 points from D Wade, and 25 from Bosh, Lebron shoots 3-16 as the combination of Kevin Durant and Jeremy Lamb stifle the former league MVP

Game 5 - Miami 101, OKC 102 - Wade's last second miss clinches OKC first championship as Kevin Durant notches 30-6-7 and Westbrook chips in with 19-11-8 as OKC wins their first ever title in Oklahoma City.

every game was good in that series tho

 

[Luke Cage]

As long as Perkins is in the starting lineup well win in 5.

 

[madeyoulook]

whichever team makes more 3 pointers so Miami

 

[FAH1223]

Eh, you just knew that MIA would win though

Even though last year had a few blowouts, it was kind of refreshing to see two squads so evenly matched and the last two games were classic and the opener was pretty good too

 

[Brozay]

Russ gonna be the best player in the series

 

[Wiirdo]

Miami in 6. OKC win two games, one where their role players actually hit some shots and another where Westbrook and KD go for 40.

2013 finals was the best finals since the 2010 finals....2012 was a wash and it was fun watching Bron melt down in 2011 but it left much to be desired. Heat stans know they gonna steamroll the Thunder. San Antonio will push them to the absolute limit like they did last year.

 

[ReggieFlare]

I think it will be closer than most of you think. Still haven't forgotten how intense KD was playing in that game vs MIA during the regular season while Russ was out

Heat in 6 tho
