    If SA doesn't close it out in 5 games, then I would expect Miami to win game 6 setting up a game 7 in MIAMI.

    My guess is Miami in 7.

    Really? I mean, I know what you're saying, but they actually have a deep team - deeper than the Spurs. Although a lot of it is that the Heat's depth (or role players) is coming from players who are on the downside of their career arc whereas the Spurs is coming from young guys who haven't fully established a name for themselves. I mean the Heat have 3 guys who can easily average 20+ppg over the course of the season, plus:
    Mario Chalmers
    Ray Allen*
    Udonis Haslem
    Shane Battier
    Chris Andersen
    Mike Miller
    Rashard Lewis*

    The Spurs have Duncan, Parker, Ginobli...then Leonard and a bunch of guys who would look mediocre at best on any team other than the Spurs. The Spurs roster isn't that different from our roster - Pops just knows how to get the most out of his guys (and he has the best PF in the game and one of the best PGs).

    *Guys who once averaged 20+ppg.

    Wade will have a lot of trouble in the series.

    These questions are boring. How about: If Pop used a player to literally take out LBJ with an injury, would you still root for the Spurs?

    Because Miami is such a daunting place to play.

    Lets be real, its Lebron and cast of nobody's. Wade sucks. Bosh sucks. I understand you're a Lebron jock rider, but this is reality. Duncan's getting his fifth.

    Almost game time!

    The Spurs need to steal one of these first two games to win the series.

    Go Spurs!

    Alex Kennedy ‏@AlexKennedyNBA - Dwyane Wade said he's going to be aggressive tonight. He was asked how many shots he wants. He laughed, but admitted that 15 would be nice.

    Kind of a weak in arena introduction for the Heat. My all time favorite is still the Bulls from the Jordan/Pippen era.

    I think they need to win both. But who cares? Worst NBA Finals matchup ever. This matchup is even more boring than Grizzlies vs Spurs. Gosh, the Grizzlies suck.

    Tim Duncan has now made at least one field goal in all 1,385 games (regular season + playoffs) of his career

    Lebron put up 10-5-8 without breaking a sweat in the first half. This guy...
