Miami in 6
I was right bout' the mavs last year and I will be right bout' OKC.
OK swept the defending champs, swept the Lakers and would have won against the Spurs in 5 if not for a bad coaching (game 2 spurs were playin' too well to loose that game). They have HCA, clutch players all over the floor, the whistles and are the best FT shooting team by far.
As for the serie against the mavs, Heat will collapse in the fourth going iso on every last possessions. Lebron cannot do everything, Wade is too inconsistent and Bosh won't dial 3/4 3 pointers again (ibaka won't go 15/15 again either).
If OKC sticks with giving the ball to Harden late in the game and let Durant do the work, they take the serie and the![]()
Miami in 6
If the OKC can still shoot lights out, OKC in 4.
I dont see a sweep at all tbh
If OKC stay in range at the beginning of the fourth, there is no way for them to not close out the heat on a 7 games serie imho.
I was right about the mavs
/Thread
I said before the serie started against spurs that it will be a tough serie and I thought spurs would have won it in 7 but as a spur fan I'm biased when it comes to the spurs.
For that serie I really don't care who will be the winner tbh
You made a prediction basic off the fact you dislike the Heat and happen to be right but all your other predictions have been wrong. It carries no weight, especially considering you don't even have a take as why the Thunder will win. You were wrong a about the Spurs last year, not just this year.
You are making assumptions off your as tbh. I don't hate the Heat.
What other predictions ? the ones that refer to the spurs yeah I confess I always see them better than they are cauz I tend to be biased but I never made stupid predictions like spurs in 4.
It carries no weight because I'm a casual fan on a spurs forum and I create a thread once in a while to give an opinion. What other opinion here carries a lot of weight except timvp being copied by sport writers ?
Let me guess you have Miami in 6 because OKC has no answer for Lebron and Lebron is going to defend a SF all game long for a change ?
Winning at OKC is really hard, tbh. Refs and a loud/hostile crowd
Miami can and will have success in OKC. They will get a split heading back to South Beach. If this series somehow goes back to OKC, Lebron will win his ring on the road. One way or another, Miami will win this series. I have been saying it all year long. I said it when Indiana was up 2-1 and had an 8 point halftime lead, and when Boston was up 3-2. If there is any team that can win in OKC, it is Miami.
OKC has no answer for LeBron and Bosh tbh.
OP giving too much credit to Miami, tbh... With Bosh back they'll be lucky to extend this to 5 games, tbh
No.... they didn't....
No way on Earth does Miami win this thing at home. They got taken longer than that by the Pacers.![]()
Agreed.
I believe Thunder can really wrap this up in 5 if they play with focus. But 6 seems more likely.
Oddsmakers have OKC as the favorites and that only makes sense-- they have a much deeper team. If you take away the big three from each team and compare what's left, it's not even close. OKC has three truly great defenders in Perkins, Ibaka, and Sefolosha. Battier is a good defender a little past his prime, Chalmers is good for a few steals, Haslem is a decent rebounder... but honestly, any of OKC's individual players 4 thru 7 (Ibaka, Perkins, Sefolosha, Collison) would probably start for Miami, while none of Miami's 4 through 7 (Chalmers, Haslem, Battier, Miller/Anthony) would start for OKC.
OP trying to be funny or is he just this re ed? their bench might be a bit deeper then ours but it doesn't make that much of a difference when teams only use 8-9 men rotations, and we also got decent s besides them big three, battier/haslem/chalmers just to name a few. so the difference would be down to the 7th or 8th men, and those players ain't makin much impact on the game since they PT will be very limited.
I agree. OKC takes both at home, one in Miami and finishes it off in 6.
