    It's a very real possibility that the Pacers win this series with the Heat, unless they fold under pressure or Bron goes into 2k mode.

    So if you had to choose a team to face, which would it be?

    Both teams pose different threats, but I suppose I would choose the Heat. Sure they have Bron, Wade, and Bosh, but the Pacers have a 7'2 center, and Paul George is fairing pretty darn well against Bron.

    But I'm no NBA expert, and I'm sure you guys have better insight and takes than me, so I'm interested in what you guys have to say.

    Pacers. Better chance of beating them.


    That being said, I've wanted to see a Spurs-Heat Finals for a long time. Just not this year; the Heat are too good this year.


    2005 or 2006 would have been nice.

    Pacers and its not even close. If the Heat make the Finals you can expect a big free throw difference between us and them. Stern and his cronies will go into overdrive. Remember the refs saving the Thunder last year in the WCF's against us? You can expect double that if we face the Heat in the Finals. With the Pacers...Stern has no invested interest....case in point...us vs. Memphis. Stern is letting this eries play out because both arent big markets.

    Neither team looks invincible, tbh. I think the Spurs can win against either team.

    Honestly I'd rather play the Heat. The Pacers are a balanced team with a good bench. If the Heat have one banged up player who contributes to their team they struggle immensely. TBH the Pacers remind me a little of the Spurs with their balanced team approach.

    Part of your theory doesn't make sense. If the Spurs and Heat meet in the Finals, then wouldn't people tune in to watch the Heat regardless of whether they win or lose? The Finals would have high ratings regardless of which team won, wouldn't it - just by virtue of Miami being in?

    spurs-mavs fan: the OP said who would you rather face in the Finals. Did it not? It didnt say anthing about ratings. Pacers would be the best avenue because the Heat would get every call in the Finals.

    Lol no. The Pacers aren't beating Miami. Heat in 6, and obviously the Spurs would much rather play Indiana and it's not even close.

    Pacers are a better match-up for the Spurs style-wise. Also the Heat are more talented than the Pacers by far. And better than the Spurs. So I'd rather the Spurs play the Pacers.

    Anyone who wants to face the Heat is delusional. Spurs could win but it'd be a long shot. Spurs would beat Pacers in 5.

    Pretty incredible to think that the Pacers' failure to prevent a James layup in Game 1 may ultimately be the reason why the Spurs don't win a championship this year.

    Pacers 10/10 times. The Spurs would beat Indiana in 5. Probably sweep.

    The Heat still look like the best shot at winning the le even though the Spurs are peaking.

    1- Heat is an easier matchup for Tony
    2- Heat is an easier matchup for Timmy
    3- Pacers is a balanced scoring team and plays great D( a defense 1st version of GSW tbh).

    Well, no...what I meant was that I'd rather play the Lakers team that we just swept.

    And tbh, I would. l mean, if you're asking who I'd rather face, I'd rather face a team we just already got finished killing.

    The pacers for sure great D not much offense, just like memphis. And in a Spur-pacer final the refs would not be a factor.
