Boston gets their due respect for a great series and playing the season with a lot of injuries. A great 5 year run for them that seems like it's coming to an end. Probably the end of KG and Allen in Boston.

Heat VS Thunder, this is one of the biggest Finals ever, I expect it to demolish every Finals TV rating. Pretty much a dream matchup since we never got to see Kobe-LeBron. Of course, LeBron will undoubtedly take too much heat and criticism and people will ignore the Thunder have a much better team if the Thunder indeed win

Haven't been this excited for a Finals in a long time. My head says Thunder in 6 but my gut says Heat in 7. And my heart hopes that they all have fun and no one gets hurt.

I don't see why Boston should let go of Garnett, he's their best player. 2 years / 16 mil would be smart.

Thunder in 6, but I hope it goes 7. If Wade plays well Miami could easily take it. I assume LeBron will limit Durant to a high degree.

I never noticed that and I was born in Boston. Then again I lived there when I was younger so I probably didnt notice all the hunnies. So many colleges downtown so I suppose you would be right.

It would be so huge for Miami to steal one of these first 2 games in OKC. I think Miami's best chance is to not let this get to a game 7 in OKC.

I really just wanted to say that ESPN Classic has been running this hourlong documentary thing on Yao Ming and it is AWESOME. NBA fans, check it out if you see it on. It just chronicles him in China and his transition to the USA and covers his rookie season. Tons of footage you won't see anywhere else, and I have a ton more respect for what Yao went through after watching it. Really cool.

I don't think you start bosh

I think you bring him off the bench to counter harden in scoring

This series should be exciting,lots of fast breaks and 3's

~~FireWaterBurn~~ · 06-11-2012, 10:13 PM

I like Bosh coming off the bench too. Wonder if he will hit some 3's again. That was crazy last game. He was really smooth from 3 too. Heat are gonna need some big games from role guys in different games. Chalmers needs to be aggressive, Battier needs to hit 3s. Miller needs to knock down open shots when he's in.

I really wish Haslem would stop shooting though. Nigga takes too many contested baseline jumpers. I know that's his shot, but damn try a pumpfake once in awhile bro

Sparky · 06-12-2012, 06:24 PM

I predict OKC in 7.

Miami is going to have to play big, probably bring out joel anthony. This will cause problems with transition d, anthony is slowmo

OKC in 6. I think they're the more complete team, and they beat the Spurs, who I thought were invincible going into the playoffs, and especially going into that series.

hopefully kevin durant doesn't lose his ability to play basketball through some form of static combustion when giving the basketball to an innocent youthful fan
