The stage is set.... Kevin Durant vs Lebron James. essentially the good guy in Durant vs the bad guy in LBJ.
If both teams play similar to how they did in the conference finals, OKC in 4 or 5. But that won't necessarily happen. Maybe the Heat rise to the occasion. I can tell you this: It will be a whole lot harder for both LeBron and Wade to blow by and get to the rim.
Will be a good series. I like OKC's chance. Miami just isn't deep enough (Shane Battier plays 30+ minutes and averages <5 ppg)
OKC has better supporting cast Sefolosha checking Lebron is a better matchup for OKC than Battier against Durant for the Heat.
I'm going with Thunder in 6 again. It will be interesting to see the KD/Lebron match up though on both ends.
I'm pretty sure we'll see Lebron and Durant guarding each other when the game is on the line and I am looking forwarding to watching that.
OKC should win in 5 or 6 if both teams play up to par. Too much depth for the Heat. I just want to watch Lebron v. Durant. If Miami has any chance, Lebron and Wade must be the 2 best players in the series. Bosh will make this series more interesting b/c he completely turned the Celtics around. His jumpshot made a huge difference in how Boston defended Miami. Bosh needs to be better v. Ibaka. But I will be very interested to see if Lebron can will the Heat to a ring though. His team is the clear underdog as OKC will be huge favorites. I don't expect anyone to stop Lebron, so let's see how great he can be. OKC is NOT sweeping the Heat, no matter how great OKC plays. OKC will win simply b/c they have more depth offensively. Nothing more, nothing less.
Im really looking forward to how Westbrook, Harden, Durant go in offence VS Wade, Lebron, Battier. Haslem and Bosh vs Ibaka and Perkins wont be as exciting but nonetheless just as crucial.
We have no idea. Anything is possible. If they bring their "A" four straight games, they will. But how likely is that?
Another year where I don't understand why the finals are 2-3-2 with every other round having 2-2-1-1-1.
