Miami in 5 or 6.

I honestly have no idea who to take between the Spurs and Thunder, but I expect it to go 6 or 7 either way. All I know is that the Heat vs. Thunder would be the sweetest Finals everrrrr.

I think the heat are going to beat boston in 6 as well. Boston plays good defense, but they struggle to close games and can be totally absent on offense for long stretches. Miami plays good defense and can score with relative ease.

I actually think kinda of the opposite. Heat struggle much more in closing games than Boston. And Miami's offense looks awful at times when they can't get out and run. It sure looks a lot better when D Wade is playing out of his mind like last game though. I think Heat take the series in 5. Boston is the smarter team but the Heat (if they're smart) will be able to run wild up and down the court. With Bradley getting hurt recently and Allen having bad legs, it's gonna be incredibly tough I think for Boston to keep up with the pace. I think Rondo is just gonna have to play out of his mind.

Which makes me wonder how the Heat will D up the Celtics. Do you put Battier on Garnett? And Wade/LBJ on Pierce/Rondo and let Chalmers chase Allen around? I really don't now what they'll do without Bosh.

Thunder VS Spurs tonight. Like everyone else, I'm beyond thrilled to watch this and could see it going either way. I'd be shocked if it doesn't go at least 6 games. I'll take the Thunder because Durant is the ultimate equalizer and can take over the game at any time. I'm lookin for Parker to try to draw fouls on Westbrook early and try to get him in foul trouble tonight.

I have little idea what's going to happen in the OKC/SA series, and all the more excited for it.

Miami will roll Boston. I don't know why Allen is even out there, he's a huge defensive liability and his offensive production could easily be met by a bench player.

You should be, thats going to be the best one in the whole playoffs. (all the playoffs? how the F would you say that?)

The winner of the WCF will win the title fairly easily, that's why.

Thunder definitely came ready to defend that Parker pick and roll. What amazing defense tonight by OKC. Just a matter if they can hang on here these last few minutes. Big minutes tonight for guys like Fisher and Collison. Stealing game 1 on the road would be so gigantic

Just wondering.

I like rondo and am rooting for boston.

Rondo just misses too many layups, he over thinks them you can tell from his delivery.

KG made a nasty miss too, don't know why he didn't slam it. Boston doesn't look like they have enough in the tank to even play the amount of games they would need in order be champions.

blastingas10 05-27-2012 10:16 PM

Maybe rondo does miss layups but he's still a hell of a point gaurd.

I've been feeling a spurs championship. I started thinking maybe this is going to be OKC's year, but they just keep running into better coached and more experienced teams - mavs last year, spurs this year. They always have more talent, the spurs are just gonna get it done like the mavs did last year.

I'm thinking the celtics vs heat series is going is going to be a good one. I'm not going to count out the celtics, they're gonna make it interesting. I cant really say who's going to win. I'm thinking the heat in 6 or 7. The celtics are going to give em a hard time like the pacers did, but I think the heat are gonna have too much in the end.

I'm seeing a spurs vs heat final. It's going to be a great series.

I hate the Celtics just because Rondo is a punk who I hate more than any other player in the league. And I hate Garnett at times. I think he needs his insanity and style to be as great as he has been but he's still a punk sometimes. And although I love Pierce's game, he's such a drama queen. I'll never forget vs the Lakers when he left on a wheelchair lol. So unnecessary. I could live with a ring for any of the other 3 teams. Spurs would get their 5th with Duncan which would be sweet. I'm a huge defender of LeBron though so I'd really like him to get a ring and shut up some of the idiotic haters.

Spurs experience got them Game 1. Thunder outplayed the Spurs for 3 quarters and let this one slip away from them. A little too aggressive and out of control in this one.

But to be fair, no one gives Boston a lick of credit. Watch the outlandish ball-washing that Miami gets when we play them.

Case in point, your honor.
