This year's finals reminding me a ton of 1992 so far

    2-2 after four games. Miami/Chicago not dominating, but dictating flow and leading most of all 4 games, but Dallas/Portland staging valiant comebacks in Games 2 (on the road) and 4 (at home).

    Before Game 5 of the 1992 Finals, Michael Jordan came out and guaranteed a Bulls win. Flat guaranteed it. And then went out and dominated the Blazers, made Clyde and the rest look like amatuers, and took control of the series heading back to Chicago.

    While I don't see the same killer instinct in this year's Heat team, and let's face it.... LeBron is no MJ, I can still see the Heat pretty much locking up the title with a win in Game 5. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself.

    James is going to dominate game 5. Might not be enough for a win but he always has a huge game after a bad game in these playoffs so far.

    This is nothing like 92. In game 1, the Bulls DESTROYED Portland. Beat us pretty good in Game 3 too. If anything, it's more like last year's Finals.
