Basically it comes down to the rosters. Are Bosh, LBJ and Wade very much better talents than KD, Harden and Westbrook? Because they will have to be for the Heat to have a fighting chance in this series.
The King won't have free rei(g)n to the basket with Perkins and Ibaka protecting the rim. The difference will be the "others," where the Thunder are superior.
those of you still holding a grudge against LeBron for the decision have apparently never been to Cleveland.
