The Spurs have the best chance . . . and I think the Heat know it. I wouldn't have said this six months ago, but numerous things have led me to believe this, from Harden being dealt, to the Heat beating them six straight times (that has to mentally weigh on them), to Duncan's continued resurgence, to Parker getting even better, to Splitter finally playing a role commensurate with his production, to the Spurs' significant defensive improvement.
Outside of a superstar who can play virtually unlimited minutes (though you can bet that Parker and to a lesser extent Duncan, would border on that in Finals games), the Spurs have everything needed to beat the Heat. One dominant all around big, another quality big, a dominant PG, league best ball movement, a cadre of solid wing defenders (not that James and to a lesser extent Wade wouldn't destroy them, but still) and loads of experience.
It's because of this that I feel the Spurs have a better shot at winning the championship than the Thunder, despite the Thunder being the most likely team to come out of the West.

Thinking I give a what you think. Take your money and go to Vegas. Spurs won't make the finals.
