    Miami in 6 sadly. Miami has to be the favorite, though, ESPN will cast them as the underdog after this series. I don't think the Spurs present the same inside threats that the the Pacers did notwithstanding Timmy's awesome play this year. Spurs just dont pound it in enough to punish Lebron for guarding the 4.

    I hate the 2-3-2 format since it is very rare for the home team in that middle stretch to win all 3 games. If the Spurs don't split in those first two games, I see them being on the wrong side of 3-2 heading back to Miami. Hope I'm wrong.

    Yeah, I have hope because of how hungry Tim and Tony look, but the Spurs have to make the Heat look like a one-man team. That means making everyone but LeBron a non-factor which has happened at times in the Pacers series. Plus the Spurs are much smarter than the Pacers. If the Heat role players start going off, Spurs are ed.

    agree with this. Pacers are one of the most overrated teams in recent times.

    I mean a team that is composed of 2 good bigmen, and 1 near allstar and
    - George Hill starting PG
    - Lance Stephenson, a damn scrub
    - Tyler Hasbro
    - Ian Mahinmi
    - DJ Augustin and Sam Young

    overrated bunch of scrubs

    still. The CHamps can turn it on anytime and have 4 HOF players. it's a pretty tough series to predict IMO. I'll leave it to the AI and the algorythms
    100% Agree. The Pacers are just AWFUL. They would have lost to any team in the West except that D-league squad the Lakers put out there. The fact that they pushed Miami to 7 games says WAY more about how flawed the Heat are rather than how 'good' the Pacers are.

    Cannot let role players like Chalmers, Allen, or even fckn Haslem get hot. Because Lebron is going to get his no matter what. Also no way we win unless we see vintage Manu.

    Heat looked very beatable in this series against Ind. If Ind had a solid PG or another guard that was a scoring threat Ind would have won the series. That being said Spurs in 6. Veterans + great coaching = win

    I'd like to believe it, and I think the Spurs are good enough to do it.

    BUT - I don't think that's the NBA storyline they looking for. It certainly wasn't Spurs v. Pacers and they took care of that. The Spurs HAVE a storyline - Timmy etc, but this will all be about the Spurs Dynasty passing to the Heat Dynasty. Lebron's "Time" that wasn't in 2007 etc. I guess I'm hoping that the NBA decides to build the suspense by giving us this one, in anticipation of the "Re-match" next year? But that's unlikely. Unfortunately, whether deliberately orchestrated by the league or by media influence or whatever it might be, the games (and by that I mean officiating) are far too influenced by what is written/talked about before each game and by what can be written or talked about after.

    Tough tough series to call. I want to anti-jinx it by calling it Heat in 4.

    My hopes is Spurs in 5. If it drags out too long it means it's tight and LeBron is too good to shut down in a bigger game. Miami could easily win a game 7 at home.

    Spurs have a realistic chance of beating Miami, they have the bigs and passing attack to expose Miami's flaws..however, this series against Indiana doesn't really have much to do with the Spurs, tbh..

    The Heat struggle against physical teams, just like last year, when most people picked OKC to destroy them in the Finals, tbh..

    The Spurs are a great defensive team, but they are not a physical team, obviously..

    Indiana had a massive FT advantage against Miami for most of the series, despite a similar total of points in the paint and fastbreak points for both teams..

    If the Spurs get as many FTAs as the Pacers did, they will easily beat Miami, tbh..

    Yep. Regardless it will be tough, but if their role players are hitting their shots, the Spurs have zero chance.

    gotta agree with this part. Spurs will play Miami with kiddie gloves. Also BigBird will be a nonfactor so he will eventually sit on the bench for good. This will be a Charmin Soft series

    Heat luckily avoided Spurs in '06 with Manu's foul on Dirk game 7.
    Heat luckily avoided Spurs in '12 with OKC and refs teaming up against San Antonio.
    Heat luck about to run out.
    Spurs in 7.

    What are the odds some dumb reporter will bring up the Spurs getting fined during Finals interviews?

    I remember when everyone picked OKC to destroy the Heat last year and they mopped the floor with the Thunder. Have a similar feeling about this year, although I think it goes at least 6. We won't get destroyed, but I think Miami wins it in the end, especially with HCA.

    it does have a lot of similarities. Only exception is Spurs have championship and Finals experience on both player and coaching side. Spurs are the more experienced team this time.

    OKC never knew what hit them and choked in the big stage. That won't happen to Spurs.

    still, hard series to call....
