Loose has to be trolling bruhthis post doesnt make any sense
first off, spurs/heat was a classic last year
but ok, if you want to go by ratings(which i have no clue why you would) pacers / thunder would do horrible in ratings
Yall idiots would rather see a star studded finals, than a good one
- Thread starter Buckeye Fever
- Start date
nikka stop cryingIf Miami beats the Spurs this year or last year then its "the spurs are old" heat will never get the respect they deserve
Boolean
APIDTA
both scenarios would be good IMO 
nikka stop crying
bytch ain't nobody crying
yes you are, ol nobody gon give us respect anywayyy
ass nikka, shut the fukk up
The Spurs really are the only team that can beat the Heat due to their roster flexibility in playing big or matching Miami's small ball. They also have too many damn 3 point shooters.
Miami also plays super aggressive pick and roll defense and we've seen teams get loads of 3 pointers. Spoelstra is slow to adjust in a series and he is very stubborn. Heat fans will co-sign me on this.
SA is also a good defensive team in their own right with post presence and the young guys on the perimeter playing D. Ginobili has had a resurgence too. Pop won't start Splitter but he will have either Duncan or Splitter on the floor all game to protect the rim. Diaw is an X-Factor because he can shoot, create off the dribble, defend and he can also post up the smaller 4s of MIA.
LeBron and D-Wade cannot be stopped. But Leonard and Green play good enough to make them work for their shots as we saw in the NBA Finals last year.
The Thunder are also a good defensive team but Scott Brooks doesn't put his players in position to succeed especially vs. Miami because he refuses to match the small ball lineups and their defense suffers. OKC has no problems scoring as we saw in 2012 but their problem is defense and their coach not adjusting correctly. If he would just let Perry Jones and Jeremy Lamb play with Adams and/or Ibaka, it would be interesting but he didn't let some of these young guys play all season
It's such a damn shame.
Also, Russ and KD throwing up horrible shots are just like turnovers and that's lethal with MIA's fastbreak. If they get into ISO ball which they've done all year and postseason, the Heat will salivate at that opportunity because they know it means easy baskets the other way with those long rebounds.

The Thunder just aren't a good overall team.
Westbrook went off last time they played in the finals in game 4 and they still lost that game.
They don't run an offense it's just Russy and KD coming down hoisting shots. And they have a terrible coach who doesn't adjust well.
Heat win in 6 maybe 5 against the thunder.

A Pacers/Thunder series would have been a sweep and the ratings wouldnt have been good. Indiana doesnt have one player known to non basketball fansDusty Bake Activate
Fukk your corny debates
Spurs got matchup advantages against MIA. But if 
plays like he did in game 7 for four games, it won't matter. If he shoots basically the same as did last year, I think the Spurs win because I don't think they'll choke it away again.
