miami is going to have a hard time defending spurs, their style is player movements and ball movements. miami will be challenged defensively... my prediction Miami in 6
The 2 3 2 format is a beast. If The spurs take one of the first to games in Miami home court goes bye bye.

That has nothing to do with the 232 format... that's just what it means to take away someone's home court advantage.
I still say the Heat win the championship...Heat in 6. The Spurs have been playing well, but they don't have the speed to keep up with the Heat. I'm LOLing at people thinking Leonard is going to contain Lebron somehow...he was slower than Lebron before his knee was hurting...now it'll be even more of a disadvantage. Bosh will probably wake up in this series as well.
They've beaten SA in SA this year...with James and Wade out. SA chose to rest their old guys and lost in Miami...they knew it would be too tough for a back to back so they didn't even try (kind of tells you something). Both teams are fairly healthy this time. Bosh traditionally does well vs. Duncan too. I don't think Miami is afraid of SA. We shall see. Wow, I'm blown away at all the folks voting Spurs in 5 and 6...smh. Let the hate floooow...
This is 2013, an odd year, a year when the Spurs win a championship. Heat is a physical team but so were the grizzlies. I say Spurs in 6
mcgrady fans aren't the Lanisters. We all witness your boy trueroxfan's bet with jo mama. though I would make a bet with VBG, he's a legit Rockets fan who happens to favor McGrady.
The Match up: Lebron vs Kawhi adv:Heat(the best player in the game...kawhi is just gonna have to bring his lunch pail...gonna be a long series) Bosh vs Duncan adv: Spurs(drinking the fountain of youth) Wade vs Green Even(yes, Green is a total pest on defense...ask Steph Curry, who is a lights out better shooter, ball handler than Wade...and Green hits timely 3s) Haslem vs Splitter (Even, while the size of Spiltter is a problem, Haslem has the abilty to be an offensive threat in the midrange...its going to be key yet again) Chalmers vs Parker (Adv: Spurs...Tony Parker has been playing his best basketball in these past few weeks) Bench: Spurs: Diaw, Ginobli, Bonner, Neal, and Joseph(these guys played a bigger role than I expected) Miami: Birdman, Allen, Battier, Cole, and Miller (Allen starting to get hot, and could be a problem...but if the Spurs could find a way to render Curry and Thompson ineffective, they wont have a problem with the Miami bombers) Advantage: Spurs(very slightly though) Coaching: Spo(has had a tremendous season, and yes, i often do rip him on his coaching, but he found a way to get it done...a lot...) Pop(There are so many things i can say here...but here is the most important point that I have to make...The Spurs have clinched every series on their opponents home court...Lakers, GSW, and Memphis) 2 sweeps in this Western conference with an aging team...wow...that is impressive... Series Prediction: Spurs in 6...just see the Spurs executing so well against traps...by just back dooring the Heat so much...they pass so well...if the Heat can abuse Parker...perhaps Miami can do damage...But I really see Parker having a field day in the paint, and the Heat will not have answer for it... Spurs take 1 of 2 in Miami Spurs take 2 of 3 in San Antonio Miami loose in game 6...
