If the Spurs and Heat had all players in their primes,who do you think would win the finals?

the difference is T-mac in his prime

 

Does anyone else think Tmac prime > Wade Prime?

 

Agreed.

With that said, I think the Spurs would win. Parker is way underrated.

 

And it's not even close. Orlando Tmac = better and taller version of 2006 Wade.

 

Tmac was the more complete player...but Wade was the better player.

 

Bosh is 29, still in his prime. Duncan is way past his prime but still dominates him. No chance they cancel each other out when Duncan is in his prime.

 

Aren't like half of the heat's best players already in their primes and playing a fossilized version of S.A? LOL

 

I would say it's quite even. T-Mac definitely had a better jump shot. Wade had a great ability to just crash into people and get contact and finish which T-Mac couldn't (or not to the same degree.)

Wade is also the greatest shot blocking guard of all time but T-Mac with a good big (when focused) played great defense as well.

I would put Mcgrady fractionally over Wade.

 

What? Tony Parker is in his prime. The only two Spurs who are old are Duncan and Manu. Spurs bench is super young while the Heat are super old.

 

TP is in his prime and you are right, but thats it. Leanord is going to be real good, but its only his 2nd year. The have a top 5 player of all time in his PRIME along with Wade and Bosh who are still in their prime (I think Wade was just agitated by his injury earlier during the playoffs) . The heat keep the bench they have because they have their starting 5 isn't that experienced, seasoned vets to step in any time. The spurs have a younger bench because their starting 5 is old.

But in the end, the chemistry of the spurs ...even in this stage of their careers is much better than the Miami team and I would pick them.

 

Funny thing is his prime was basically in Orlando

 

Yeah the disrespect level of Juwan in this thread is crazy if we are talking about Primes.

Howard >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Haslem

 

I don't get this comment and it has been said a lot. If that is why Tracy McGrady left then why in the world would he leave to go play with Grant Hill?

 

So who's gonna guard prime Duncan on the Heat

 

Bosh... oh, wait...

 

The Spurs would spank the Heat.

 

Diaw in his prime off the bench would be a monster with all the shooters the spurs have

 

This!

 

More like:
Timmy
Lebron
McGrady
Wade
Ginobili
Parker
Allen...

The rest doesn't even matter. The Spurs in their prime would dominate Miami. By seeing what Hibbert did to Miami, imagine a prime Duncan working down low. It would be brutal.

 

People also forget how good Ray Allen was in his prime. Dude was one of the most gifted players I've ever seen.

However, to answer the question of the thread title, the Spurs would win because they have Tim Duncan. A 37 year old Tim Duncan can still dominate the Heat front line today (most of whom are still in their prime). Imagine what a 26 year Tim Duncan can do to them.
