Thunder are too young and the Heat too motivated.

Sadly, Miami in 6.

That's probably what the Mavs, Lakers and Spurs thought before they got ousted by the Thunder. Who has Miami played? Broken down knicks, non-contending Pacers, and then they barely escaped against broken down Boston... they're perfectly set up to be exploited against a real contender. I think I just convinced myself to bet Thunder...

You just convinced me too.*

Let's Go Thunder!

Really disappointed to see Heat make the finals.

Really hope Thunder can get it done.

[swstein]

Same here, the NBA can go screw itself I'm not watching the finals.

I've no interest in watching the Heat play anyone.

Let's Go Thunder!

That's all we got left.

I think most of us feel that way. I didn't want the Heat to make the finals either, but now the intensity will be greater in hoping the Thunder gets it done. We are all Thunder fans now.

Half the Mavs roster stopped competing when they won their title last year. They were hardly a threat to the Thunder.

The Lakers faced major matchup problems along with Gasol and Bynum just turning themselves off for a large chunk of the series.

The Spurs' veterans ran out of gas, much like the Celtics did against the Heat.

And oh yeah, the Heat's best interior player was either out or hobbled for the entire series against Boston.

No one here needs to convince me to hate the Heat. But prepare to see the three SOB's hoist the trophy this season, folks.

i do not dislike heat any different than any other team, why do you?

[ChildishGambino]

OKC is ready....Battle tested....OKC will win in 6....if i didn't have respect for the Heat i would say OKC in 5.....OKC has size where it counts and a champion in Perkins.....Shotblocking and athleticism in Ibaka......A star coming off the bench in Harden.....Great defender in Thabo......Superstar on the wing in Durant....Fringe Superstar in Westbrook.....they're stacked and playing with house money.....might just be too much for the Heat.....it's not going to be a steamroll by any stretch but i just don't think the Heat measures up at this point.......

[CPBalla2003 n da 863]

as much as i don't like the Heat, they will win the Finals in 6 games, this matchup is really good for them, LeBron don't have to guard Durant as much, with Battier playing him extended minutes, if they play Bosh at Center they could drag Perkins out on the wing, and if they play Small, put Ibaka on Bosh and he could bring them out and Wade and James will have a field day penetrating. I do think Westbrook is going to have a hell of a series tho.

[swstein]

Yep, the heat are going to win it, I reckon they will win it in 5 so I'm done with the NBA this season.

i do not dislike heat any different than any other team, why do you?

Not 1, Not 2, Not 3, Not 4, Not 5.

I just can't like Wade and Lebron, I don't mind Bosh but Wade and Lebron are major *****. I hate the way they play, I hate how Wade constantly bitches to the refs. I hate how they are officiated like the leagues golden children that no one is allowed to touch.

I quite liked Wade before Lebron joined the Heat as well. I'd be happy if Lebron never won a championship in his career, heck I wouldn't miss him if he never played another game in the NBA.

I don't see what the big deal is if the Heat win. It's fine to root against them, but to say you'll quit watching the NBA ect just because they win then you're way over-dramatizing. The most blatant biased officiating I've seem this playoffs was in the WCF if you're going that route.

Yea, i have no like for the Heat what so ever, but i won't stop watching basketball if they win, lol, but they match up well with the Thunder, and think they will win, but i do hope i'm wrong.
