    Cant help but wonder if the Spurs and the Heat might not have been as favorable for the Heat...Still think they win...but...we will never no...

    Are you saying that the experienced Spurs would've beaten the experienced Heat in 3 games?

    3 games??? what???...No...what i said was that I didnt expect a total collapse of the Spurs for 4 straight games against the Thunder...But I think the Spurs might have been a bigger problem for the Heat....just IMO...

    Nobody expected TP to actually play like toilet paper down the stretch of the OKC series

    I'm not sure the Heat would have an answer for Duncan. They have a weakness against scoring big men.

    LeBron was too determined to win a ring this year

    The Spurs might have dragged the serious longer, but the Heat would have won

    I think LeBron would have defended him well.

    The Mavs would have won again.

    Heat played lights out in the finals, i mean there is NO WAY the pacers and celtics are better than OKC giving the heat got taken to 6 and 7 games with those teams yet took out OKC in 5..

    S.A. imo would have matched up better with Miami.. NBA is all about matchups, and the HEat struggled against the Pacers and Celtics because of Interior scoring. OKC most athletic big man is Ibaka and he is a face up shooter.. the rest of OKC is perimeter attacking or jump shots.. I honestly think S.A. could have beaten Miami.. but it would have gone 7 games

    It doesn't matter, the Spurs didn't earn it.

    Bosh basically didn't play v. the Pacers, and he wasn't fully healthy till game 7 v. the Celtics. With Bosh, the Heat would have beaten them in 5 at the most, if not swept them.
