Spurs in 6

[Russ]

ESPN's panel has it 13-5 for the Heat. All have it going 6 or 7.

3 have Heat in 6, 10 have Heat in 7, 5 have Spurs in 6, so they mostly make sense. If it goes to a game 7, I'd predict the Heat too.

But I'm going to go with Spurs in 6. Spurs win Game 1, Lose 2, Win 3, Lose 4, Win 5, Win 6.

Spurs in 4

Spurs in 6. W-L-W-L-W-W contingent on the Spurs stealing Game 1. They can't play from behind to the Heat. The Spurs are primed to steal Game 1, tbh. (Wanted to add that "tbh"...)

CHeat favored by 5.5 pts tonight

I'll take the Spurs plus 5 1/2 points every night in Every Gym

[UZER]

Some random points:

1. Spurs are much smarter with the ball on offense. Miami cheating on D will benefit Spurs. Overplaying by Heat must be exploited with the perimeter skip pass.

2. Spurs are not physical like IND. They must respond and match the intensity of the Heat swarming, ball slapping, fouling defense. They can't expect those calls and must play through it.

3. Parker must have the most efficient, effective series of his life. I have been very critical of Parker in the past, but I want nothing more than to be wrong about him and eat crow this series. He has developed into a true floor general that can score from the outside instead just a scoring point guard with no jumper. Props to him.

4. Manu must bring the goods this series. No stupid passes that result in Heat fast breaks. They will kill the Spurs momentum in games.

5. Rebound rebound rebound.

My heart says Spurs in 6 or 7.

i just hope the refs don't be calling that "drive the lane into the defender because i can't score" bull chalmers, wade, bosh(fuk it all of them) have been doing all playoffs

Spurs in 6! I would love the Spurs to sweep Lebroom again! LOL

[703 Spurz]

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.

ESPN's 13 out of 18 choice that Miami wins the le would beg to differ with your view

[SpurSwag]

This is one of the toughest series to predict in my time as a Spurs fan because Miami really can be two completely different teams. When clicking, they can be one of the most dominant teams of all time tbh and that happens when Lebron starts driving and kicking to guys like chalmers, allen, and battier and they make their shots. We don't have a chance if that team shows up every game unfortunately. However, given how they've played against Indiana, I think we'd beat that team in 5 or 6. For about 5/7 games against Indiana, it was pretty much Lebron in cleveland where he had no help. We are built to stop him Wade and Bosh are no shows. I'm gonna say Spurs in 6, but I've never felt less confident with a prediction.

I don't see any way the Spurs can win this series tbh.

[Spurs Brazil]

Spurs in 6

[Horry Hipcheck]

L-W-W-L-W-W. Homer pick is the Spurs, though I believe they can do it.

[cheguevara]

unfortunately I think the Finals will catch up to the new guys (Kawhi, Green, Tiago, Bonner). And unfortunately I don't see Manu turning it on all of a sudden. I am confident he will try his best.

Heat in 6 but I do reserve the right to change my mind up until tipoff game 1.

It's been a successful season regardless for Spurs. Duncan cemented himself as one of the GOAT, Parker cemented himself as a HOFer and Spurs beat all odds to become a household name again.

enjoy these finals. they are just gravy for us spursfans.

[slayermin]

Spurs in 7!

[timmy2003]

Spurs in 6

[elmanutres]

spurs in 7. I see this as closely contested as the 05 finals

[easjer]

My hope is Spurs in 5, at home. Dream pick there.

Realistically? I can see Spurs in 6. I do think they need to play hard for game 1, but I will not be surprised if they lose it. So long as they split in MIA, they can win. They go down 0-2, I think the Heat take the series in 6.

Aw, . I'm not sure I can watch. God, I want Timmy to win #5.

I mean, Tony and Timmy and Manu (but mostly Timmy) ing want this ring. They will battle for it. LeBron wants the ring, and a little revenge for 2007. DWade isn't as injured as I wish he was. He and Bosh can both show up and then it's a matter of praying we aren't in an offensive drought like what we witnessed against the Grizz. Our role players show, we're better. They don't, we're screwed. In many ways, this matchup is incongruous. A balance of extremes and similarities. In the end, I have to believe my Spurs can figure it out.

[Bobby Peru]

oh boy Spursfans bless their pretty little hearts. god knows they know no betta

I predict one size 16 King James foot up Duncan's ass and a short and sweet sweep to the gravesite of the NBA. flowers and kiss on the cheek included. enjoy your dirtnap for eternity

[Michael Spurs]

Spurs Sweep~

[jon123spurs]

San Antonio Spurs in 6!

[313]

What if the heat sweep lol i could see Stern rigging it just for the story

[hater]

I have decided to shut down my servers, pour kerosene on them and light them up. No need to do any calculations this time. As the smoke towers over the molten plastic and strong chemicals fills the air....

Spurs in 7 es
