Why the Heat?
Not the same, but when I use the playoff predictor on ESPN whenever I get a Spurs/Heat finals the Spurs always win it.
lol double post
Because they're favored to win the East. It could end up being the Bulls, Celtics or Magic but I'm more interested in finding out what people think about matchups vs the Heat.
I don't watch the Heat very often so it's difficult for me to say how the Thunder, Spurs or Lakers match up against them.
I think the Thunder would probably give them the most problems.
Kobe tries to do too much when he plays Bron and that usually works against the Lakers.
The Heat's lack of a dominating fontcourt would help the Spurs with matchups, and I think Kawai and Jackson would make LeBron work. I think Wade would go off though.
Grizz could be a dangerous team for the Heat. Great frontcourt, Allen on the perimeter, solid bench, Mayo 3 pts threat... they have some nice assets to go against the Heat.
Heat are coasting TBH
They'll destroy the EC in the playoffs once again
Thunder or Spurs
Oklahoma, Memphis, and maybe SA in that order.
Spurs have a deep backcourt and are now long on the perimeter so imo they have a good amount of players to throw at Wade/LeBron while I think Timmy/Diaw on Bosh will be enough as their C and PG positions are crap compared to the Spurs.
Memphis has the length on the perimeter and size in the post but I think they aren't deep enough to beat Miami in a 7 game series. Same with the Lakers.
I think OKC would be tough for them as well with being able to put Perk/Ibaka/Collison on Bosh and Sefolosha on Wade. Durant isn't an elite defender but he is by no means a terrible one so either way, all the perimeter stars will be working hard on the other end of the court except for Westbrook who will be tearing Chalmers up if not bricking his team out of the game. imo Bosh is the x-factor for that team so if you shut him down and keep Bron/Wade to their averages, they can be beaten. OKC has decent defenders to throw at him
Heat would have more trouble with LA MEM and OKC before the Spurs.
I'd go with OKC, the Lakers, and Memphis. Maybe San Antonio as well.
Not sold they're making the finals this year... you heard it here first...The Super Friends make them an unquestionable target, imo tbh.
Also nono tune in. Champions league in about 20 minutes
OKC is the only team from the West that would beat Miami in a 7 game series. There would almost certainly be a new NBA record set for combined foul calls per game.
Mavs
Dallas mother er!
The defending NBA Champions..... Dallas Mavericks
Any team that has to go through the others in the West and does is going to be the most likely to beat the Heat. However, if the Finals started tomorrow, OKC, Dallas, SA, Mem, LA
1. OKC
2. San Antonio
No other team in the West can beat Miami or Chicago IMO..
I still refuse to count the Mavs out until they are eliminated from the playoffs. I view them as the biggest "threat" (they would lose 4-2). OKC is very very overrated.
Unless Duncan really turns the clocks back, the Spurs wouldn't win more than 1 or 2 games against Miami.
San Antonio OKC and Dallas all have a better shot than Chic
