I think they will win. But I thought that last year, too. We saw how that turned out.
Could go either way, really. Unlike some of the other series, these are just two great teams that can win on the road and that are mentally tough. Which team shoots the 3 better? Which team rebounds better? Which team defends best? That can change game to game, but either of these teams have the ability to do it four times in 7. Cross fingers it's the Spurs.

just noticed I posted same exact thing than my old chap nono tbh
Only if DPG brings the pork chops and T Park gives me a ride tbh.
I won't be shocked at any result. both teams are championship-caliber.
I like to say if Spurs play as good as they can and Heat do the same Spurs should win. After that my determining factor is defense usually the better defensive team will win.
I hope the Spurs win. I'm content that they have a chance and certainly won't be surprised if they lose to this Miami team.

The Spurs have all the right tools to defeat Miami, but never underestimate the heart of a champion.
The Spurs got this. The key is to use their death to tire out Miami. You could tell fatigue caught up with OKC at the end of game 6.
I did the same thing. I remember yelling in my living room, "THEY DID IT! THEY DID IT!" and then they didn't do it.
Regarding this year's Finals, I think we have a damn good shot.
I think their "death" would indeed tire Miami out. Or at least stop them from moving much.
I don't understand why you are laughing at that.
I'm usually pretty pessimistic about the Spurs' chances but this year I don't know. The Heat looked beatable against the ty Pacers and the ty whomever they played in the 2nd round. They didn't look too hot tbh. However players that didn't produce all season seem to have banner nights against SA, so we'll see. I have no gut feeling about it. Just look at the blowouts the Spurs have administered in the playoffs this season. I don't recall ever seeing that from them but my playoff memory isn't that great (Spurs have been to so many I've almost lost track). One thing for sure, my wife thinks I much switch teams all the time because every year during our anniversary vacation I'm watching the NBA, and she just knows the Spurs haven't been in the playoffs for that many years.
I know every game is going to be close and that's all I can really predict from this armchair. The problem about making predictions for this series is that while we've basically seen the Spurs best basketball (game 7 of Dallas, most of Portland, Games 1,2, & 5 of OKC) we have yet to see Miami even approach their final form. They've had to play 1 decent quarter a game for 3 straight series so there really isn't any telling whether they will rise to meet the compe ion (as they have since Lebron came) and what that will look like if they do.
The Heat are not that good of a team, OKC in some ways are superior to them and do present more matchup difficulties than Miami and we found a way to win. Yeah, Ibaka wasn't playing in those first 2 games games, but I also think we would have found a way to win in 7 even with Ibaka... The Thunder never looked good in that series except games 3 and 4. In 6 they were too shaken offensively to ever go on a big tear, and that's how we won in 6.
I think we can lose, but I don't think we will lose. Not this time. We have better depth, a better coach, and more desire to win than they do. The Heat will be caught off-guard with just how good we will be tbh... They weren't tested all playoff long.
Miami might have LeBron, but we have some answers for him defensively and as the OKC series showed, you need more than two superstars to light up the basket to win a series. We basically won it last year when Wade and LeBron ran roughshod over us, it was Mike Miller, Shane Battier, and Ray Allen that did us in.
If we find a way to win the first two games in the series, our home games, then it might just be too much for Miami to come back from.
Here's hoping our guys can get it done this time. Hopefully sooner than 7, but I'll take that too.
What is going on in here?
damn. even with his little hands, DPG can still tear it up. major props.
I have been experiencing growing pains. Pretty sure this is my year.
^ hey guy... how are you feeling about the Finals?
It's all about TP to me. If he can play at a high level, then I think the Spurs win in 6 or less. If he's truly hobbled, Heat in 6. I don't think this goes 7 either way.
