    Miami will beat them. Not because Miami is the better team it will be because the nba makes what they want to happen... happen.

    My guess is, the Thunder would look like a completely different team.

    What we have to remember is, the coach isn't just an in-game coach, he also is instrumental in building the team and bringing the players that fit into his system. Pop has the best system in the NBA, so if he was coaching the Thunder, we wouldn't see half of the Thunder players on that squad.

    If Pop woulda had Westbrook from the start, Westbrook would be a different player.

    His speed is LETHAL. Pop would use that. Have him taking more efficient shots. Half those early offense threes would result in a quick timeout followed by a reaming by Pop.

    I can't believe Dennis Rodman was a Spur for a number of seasons..... Just can't believe it.

    7-24, 15 points.

    6-16, 15 points.

    Which one is the MVP of the year?

    Spurs are just too deep, ok can only hang for so long then the spurs pull away.

    Honestly its a toss-up.
    Miami was one Ray Allen miracle shot away from losing to the Spurs last year.
    This year the Spurs got better, and the Heat got slightly worse imo.

    You know what pisses me off? There's only OKC Thunder highlight plays on the game hub.

    And even despite Miami's regression, I still see them putting more pressure on the Spurs offense.

    Even with that I agree it is a toss-up and interesting to watch.

    For Miami to win it will be interesting to see who steps up this year as has been the trend for them.
