.....yeah, there a bunch of chumps! Can't figure out how they won 60 plus games again, can you?

Not chumps but not world beaters.

I think they won 60 games because of balance, depth, coaching, tony parker, intelligence, and chemistry
 
I kinda want to see SA and Indy move on... Just to tick off the NBA and ESPN.

2 small market "boring" teams.

And to think, the NBA was sooooo close to having LA in the WCF! I personally think LA would have been too much for SA. Too athletic and deep.

bosh as a lead dog was 22/10 guy. can't say he isn't very good. he sacrificed himself to become a #3 option and improved his long bombs. he made many critical plays as a heat.
he is soft, and not a banger inside, but his game is ideal for today's nba.

Bosh is a pretty good - I'd even say an above average - SG. The problem is the a Heat need bigs. They just have nothing down low. One would hope, at 6'11", Bosh could provide that size, but alas, he is who he is, which is a really tall shooting guard.

Not gonna lie, happy that the Pacers won game 1 and have home court. I am pulling for a Pacers/Thunder finals. Time for someone new to win it all.

The Spurs would have swept them 4 straight!
 
The Heat can be beat. They aren't the same team they used to be.

I don't feel like they have top level role players anymore. The don't have Miller now; Battier and Haslem appear to be shells of their former selves.

I'm not sure they can clamp down on the defensive end like they have in years past.

Like with the Cavs, this Heat team is completely dependent on LeBron dominating. If he doesn't play like a god, they don't win. Wade and Bosh are still better than anyone he had in Cleveland, but I don't expect either of them to be the MVP of any game.

The only thing that might save them is that while the team is worse, LeBron only gets better and better. It'll be interesting to see if he can will his way to a three-peat. Cause that's what it's gonna take--LeBron reaching new levels.

The Spurs vs Pacers would be a heck of a final for this year.
Clockwork Offense vs Iron Curtain

I also disagree on LeBron. I felt he was better last year. This year I feel he's slowly transitioning into his 30s. Improving his shooting, relying less on attacking the basket.
