A lot of things must go in the Spurs favor to pull this off.
TP must be effective if he's able to go, Manu must play mistake-free as will the rest of the Spurs since the Heat's main attack is their dangerous transition game off those TO's. We're going to need the role players like Green , Mills, Belinelli (if he plays) to hit their open 3 point shots. Tiago has to be effective for the minutes he's out there. The Spurs must also reduce to LeBron shooting mid-range jumpers, which isn't his strongest offense.
The Heat's role players may not be as effective as last years team, but Dwyane Wade should be spry for the first couple of games in SA since he had nearly six days off since the Indiana series. I also expect Norris Cole to be more effective after playing so poorly in the finals last season.
The spurs have trouble with big fast and explosive guards ala Westbrook and Eliis, none of which miami has . And I dont think there front court has A shot blocker in the mold of ibaka. Miami has no rim protection and Miami's kryptonite is good big men like Mr Duncan and Splitter when he leaves his vagina in the locker room and Boris Diaw. Pop knows that and will develop a game plan to consistently exploit it and make miami adjust. I believe, do you?
Its most likely one of those years where one finalist looks poised to win it all and the other finalist is barely coasting and then bam. The Heat drop the hammer and the Spurs are down and out for the count.
Heat are scary IMO.
Last year I picked Miami in 6, this year I'm taking Spurs in 5. This has the makings of a short series, one that will surprise people like the 2004 Pistons vs Lakers series.

Too many World of Warcraft Spurs fan dorks on this message board.....
I doubt you will find a single Spurs fan who isn't worried, even if the pick them to sweep.
Anything can happen. It's sports.

I'm just gonna enjoy the ride and root for the Spurs win or loss
The respect for Miami on this message board is out of control. People here, ironically enough, keep acting like being the defending champion is a good enough excuse to be given a free pass for pedestrian play during the regular season, when the Heat were 28 seconds away from losing to us 4-2 in last year's Final.
Look at the facts! The Heat just won 54 games in a dreadful Eastern conference. If they were the West, they would be tied with the Blazers for the 5 seed. And that's not even adjusting for a more difficult schedule. That's right. The Heat wouldn't have even had HCA for the first round.
And yet, people here worship them incessantly as if they were some juggernaut. The Spurs are the ones who are juggernauts right now. We just posted the best point differential in the NBA and routinely beat elite teams by 30+ points. Our body of work this season had been far, far more impressive than the Heat's.
Assuming good health and barring a major catastrophe, a la Game 6, we should win this series in 6 games or less.
Yeah :lol I wouldve thought the Spurs as the Targereans or Starks instead of the White walkers thoughQuote:

That said, I think the Spurs are more focused and intent than they were in that early series. I expect them to maintain a smarter, team-oriented approach and ride their bench like they've done all postseason. Can't see them losing in spite of Miami's defense and star power.
I have no idea how good the heat team is because they've played against shit competition
Both have a shot to win and I wouldn't be shocked if we lose or we win. BUT, the Spurs have faced tougher challenge than the Heat and than their last year run( OKC,Blazers,Mavs>>>>Memphis,Warriors,LA) and they have shown that they can win without a 110% Parker so I'm more confident with us this time around.

I'll just say this...any Spurs fan who thinks the Heat have no chance is overconfident. Any Spurs fan who thinks the Spurs have no chance is an insecure little bitch.
You always have a chance with Lebron. But if the Spurs keep him and D. Wade in check they should win.Quote:
