I'm on record saying we will lose 4 more games all the way when we were up 2:0 vs OKC.

Feeling pretty good about this.

Spurs in 6.

Finals MVP = Timmy (I don't believe hobbled Paker can have a great series. There might be some Manu, Kawhi or even Diaw buzz, but finally Timmy gets it also to honor his legacy.)

[Budkin]

Spurs in 6. Timmy MVP.

[Eddy from Austin]

Spurs in 5

MVP: Manu

[Rummpd]

6 Spurs win, Kawhi MVP

[cd98]

This series will not end in less than six games. Boris Diaw will have to replicate his performance against the Thunder. If Spurs win, there won't be a clear cut MVP because it was a team effort. If there is a clear cut MVP, then most likely it will be a Miami player, and Miami will have won.

Spurs in 6
Parker

[Naelven]

spurs in 7
Parker MVP

[SnakeBoy]

Spurs in 5
MVP Duncan, runner up Kahwi

[DrSteffo]

Spurs in 5 Green

[Spurs da champs]

6 Spurs win, Kiwi MVP

[will_spurs]

Spurs in 6, Parker MVP.

[doobs]

While he has almost no chance of winning it, Kawhi will probably be the real series MVP if the Spurs win. Dude has the most important task. He needs to contain Lebron as best he can, tire Lebron out AND stay out of foul trouble. On the offensive end, spotting up and hitting threes won't be enough. He's going to have to move around a lot, slash, penetrate, etc., to make Lebron work on the other end and to keep Lebron from helping when Parker and others get in the paint.

I think Parker will have the most gaudy stats. Duncan will play well, but he might not play as much as everyone expects since the Heat big men mostly play like stretch 4s. Diaw and Splitter are going to be playing big minutes. Manu will have his hands full with Wade and Lebron and Allen, although much of that burden will be shared by Green and Kawhi. So I think Parker is going to be the man, if he's healthy.

[Aus10]

Spurs in 6
MVP: Manu Ginobili

[timtonymanu]

Spurs in 7, Manu

[Mugen]

Spurs in 7, Manu

I wonder if ElNono pulls a Carradine, and just Autoerotic Asphyxiates himself with his Argie Manu Jersey if that happens tbh.

[Mugen]

If Frenchie was healthy and dominating like he's done at times this playoffs, I would have said the Spurs in 5.

But I think his injury is worse than advertised and I have doubts how he holds up in the series meaning the Heat can easily take this series in 6.

But I have faith in Duncan and Manu playing better and the rest of the supporting cast to not shrink under the bright lights, I'm going with....

Spurs in 6, Duncan as the Finals MVP.

That is a bad thing to put inside my head tbh!

Spurs in 6 Tim MVP

[ElNono]

I do have that jersey, tbh...

but no, I wanna watch the World cup

Due to Tony being hobbled, I think if this series goes the distance, Miami probably has the better odds. They're an amazing team. A team for the ages too.

I think the best chance for the Spurs is to finish this as quickly as possible. I also think they're the much better road team and I think the 2-2-1-1-1 format is favorable so my gutsy, official prediction is Spurs in 5.

As far as MVP, if Manu didn't win it in 2005, I can't see him winning it this year. I also think Miami will focus on him a lot since it's no secret he's the heart and soul of this team.

If we win this, the MVP should really be Pop/the entire team, but we know this isn't going to happen, so TD will be the rightful choice. Duncan MVP.

EDIT: this

Spurs in 6
MVP Timmy Ballgame

[ElNono]

Hard series to call, but with Wade healthy and Parker not:

Miami in 6
James MVP

This is a series where I have no problem people picking the Heat. They're the back to back, defending champs, and they should be the favorites.

It really is one of the toughest series to call.

[Jenks]

All these Spurs in 6 picks realize it's 2-2-1-1-1 now?

Closing out the series in Miami is a bold as prediction and it looks like about half the people so far have gone with it.

Hey, I called Spurs in 6 against the Thunder, and we DID close on the road in OKC... this is a special team

I honestly have to say the only thing that would truly surprise me is a sweep either way. I really have no idea though. You can make pretty compelling arguments for either team to win in 5 or for it to go the distance.
