Will Miami win this series in 5 or will it come down to a game 6 or 7 in Miami?

I don't know what to think of this series.

On the one hand the Spurs are a better team than the Pacers. So considering the Pacers took Miami to the brink (should have won game 1) so I could see the Spurs winning the series rather easily. The Heat have had problems with PG in the past. Rondo was been a Heat killer in past playoff series and Tony Parker is playing better than any PG in the NBA right now.

On the other hand I'm not sure the Spurs match up with the Heat as well Indiana did. The Heat's weakness has always been rebounding and post defense. Spurs though really don't have a Roy Hibbert that is going to kill you on the boards and inside. Tim Duncan is still an effective player and in some ways is still better than Hibbert. Duncan though these days is more about playing in the pick and roll. While he is still an All NBA defense defender he, and can still score down low at times the fact is that he is not going dominate on the offensive boards and grap 20 rebounds.

Also like the Celtics did last year the Eastern Conference teams and coaches that are familar with the Heat seem to play the Heat much tougher than the Western Conference teams that only play the Heat twice a year do.

I've really got no idea here but I'm going to say the Spurs win in 6 games. They will split in Miami, win 2 out of 3 in San Antonio, and find a way to get game 6 in Miami to take the series. Tim Duncan has really been playing well and I think he can get over 20 a game this series. Parker should give the Heat problems. Plus Green and Leonard are very good perimeter wing type defenders that should be able to hold up on Wade and Lebron. Stopping Lebron isn't going to happen but I think Leonard can keep him from going crazy especially if Duncan stays out of foul trouble and gives good rim protection / help defense.

Do you guys prefer push brooms or a broom with angled bristles?

Heat in 4.

This series will go 6 at the minimum. If Wade doesn't show up at all, they will lose. Bosh is a non-factor and frankly I do not know how he commands the league max. Kudos on him for jumping into this 3 ring circus and not really having to contribute. If its the Lebron show, better hope that Allen is draining 3s.

I think it is all about matchups. I dont see the spurs matching up as well as the Pacers did with their size all the way through the lineup. George played Lebron about as good as you can i think, and i dont see the Spurs matching that well with him. Parker and Duncan could be a problem but i think Hibbert had a better series than Duncan will. DWade played better at the end as well as Ray Allen and Bosh and i think they regained a little momentum going into this. The heat will be a little too much in my opinion but itll probly go six games

Who's Payton?

The under is looking really tempting

I agree. The Spurs had a long time to prepare defensively and the Heat are likely to be a little fatigued and shoot like crap. Meanwhile Spurs are likely to be very rusty and shoot like crap.

Tough choices...

[chicago51]

[NDdomer2]

[FearTheBeard]

If the heat want to win Lebron may want to show up sometime in this 4th quarter

 

[KPENN]

Spurs and Blackhawks both win. My sports watching could not have gone much better.

Who's Payton?

I meant Ray Allen... Some reason I had Gary Payton on the brain. This could very well be a sweep by the Spurs, which I would find absolutely delicious.

Time to call the waaaaahmbulance.

I start to think it might be an easier series for the Spurs than I thought. The Spurs actually missed alot of shots they normally make. Had some open 3s that didn't go down. Not mention Duncan started 0-5 including some missed layups before getting going. The Spurs were actually rusty in this game and they still won.

 

[chicago51]

I would also like to ask Chris Bosh who he thinks he is taking 3s out on the wing. Dude you are 6-11, and you are getting a max contract, it is okay to go to basket sometimes. Chris Bosh acts like he is scared to death of anyone over 240 lbs so I'm pretty sure Tim Duncan should have his way with him.

I was waiting for that Lebron gif to come out. I was LOLing while watching. Also, Bosh is a 3rd rate player, should give his thanks to Lebron and Wade to include him in their Mickey Mouse club.
