Where will the series stand after 3 games in South Beach?

I say Miami takes games 3 and 5 with OKC pulling out game 4 to avoid going down 1-3. Sets it up for a great Games 6 and potentially 7 back in OKC similar to the 2010 Finals.

OKC up 3-2, I would be amazed if OKC won the series in 4-1 though, actually I would be amazed if either team could do it.

heat up 3-2
they collapse, OKC wins Game 6 & 7
Summer of LeBron Hate III starts

I'll be shocked if the Heat win two or more games in Miami. OKC is too good and too clutch

[JunkYardSubs]

OKC up 3-2. Obviously the better team, adjustments need to be made

[MannyRam99]

I have a feeling that OKC may book tickets for a fishing trip after game 5.

Heat win two. I think it will be games Three and Four.

Better idea: Heat up 3-1, then OKC wins three straight

I wouldn't say "obviously." Miami did what no one else could this postseason - win a game in that raucous arena. Don't underplay homecourt either...those patented 2nd half comebacks don't have the same fury on the road as they do at home and OKC is only 4-3 away from home in the playoffs. Miami being up 3-2 is the most likely outcome.

I have a feeling that OKC may book tickets for a fishing trip after game 5.

It will have to be a short one...there are only 2 days inbetween Games 5 and 6

It would be shocking if either of these teams win 4-1.

For the Thunder to be up 3-2, they'd need to win 2 out of 3 in Miami.

I think a big reason why the Thunder have looked so good is because of the amount of energy the home crowd gives them. Even if the Miami crowd isn't that great, at least the enthusiasm and the noise and the hype isn't there for OKC from the crowd.

So I think winning 2 out of 3 against Miami is going to be really tough. I wouldn't put it past them (heck, I wouldn't put winning all 3 in Miami past them), but it's not very probable imo.

I think Miami will win 2 out of 3 and head into OKC up 3-2. I think it's anyone's series at that point. Wouldn't be surprised by any outcome at that point (Miami in 6-7, or OKC in 7).

ed malloy and joey crawford can't officiate 2 games in a row.

Heat just won the series. Theyre winning the next 3 games. Theyre CLEARLY the better team, was better in game 1 but came short because of w/e happened in the 4th some flukey stuff mostly.

Anyone who doesnt think Heat will win the series just doesnt know much about basketball.
