Until we get a game thread started, though we'd put all thoughts of HEAT/OKC in here.

We win. </thread>

Complete the job!

Obviously, a whole different team we're going up against.

I feel like we'll lose game 1 like we did against Chicago last year. Drunk over Boston, still sulking in on winning a bar fight.

But Bosh man, he is a different man and fresh.

Damn I hate OKC watching us at home twice in a row.

But game 1 will be a feel out game.

I know we're on the road, 3 in a row at home which I love. But I wish we could somehow win the Finals at home. I'd love watching that confetti in the AAArena.

This is exactly why I didn't want us to have HCA in the Finals. You have a chance to go on the road and steal one, and then you have 3 straight at home. So damn awesome!

I like the ability to steal a game, but winning 3 straight home games is tough.

Then again, we've done it before in the finals

This will be the biggest challenge of the playoffs. Won't be surprised to see it go 7 but if there's a team that can overcome that adversity it's this heat team. I feel so good saying that about us.

Game 7 one-liners:

that's another scenario.

I can see us even going down 0-2, world writing us off again

winning 4 in a row.

06 style.

we can't lose a home game though this time around. makes everything more tougher

OKC is good at getting calls.

OKC's play calling isn't as great, but they have a good TEAM too. Harden is insane... Westbrook at PG (RIP Mario).

Doesn't get easier for Wade now having to deal with Sefolosha... :| Durant vs LBJ.

Westbrook is nuts, but him at PG will be a lot more reasonable to deal with than say Parker at PG, although we will have our hands full with other guys as well. But we all know Rio was going to get WORKED either way.

Wade is getting back to one on one, so yes it will be much better for him.

LBJ will have his hands full with KD on both ends...but its the Finals. Deal with it son.

LeBron and Wade will both win their match-ups. The X factors will be Bosh, Harden, Ibaka and Chalmers/Battier.

All I can remember is in several games their scrubs, and guys like Perk and Ibaka putting up double digits constantly. I really don't see that happening with Heat defense, which will put more pressure on their stars to not get too comfortable. I felt they were comfortable in a lot of those games against The Spurs, as good as The Spurs are, their defense allowed them to stay relaxed.

They proved me wrong. They actually proved me wrong. I couldn't be happ--oh, wait. There's another round? I'll hold back my jubilance.

We matchup well for the Finals. It's within our grasp. I think we'll play our best ball this series. PEACE.

Thabo is a Wade stopper who has gotten a lot better since his Baby Bulls days. Gave Wade headaches.

If we don't let Perkins or Ibaka go off, we can win.

We have to make them be a 3 man team.

Just like today Bass going off was stupid. Can't let that happen.

Battier showing up for us today was huuuggee.

OKC's defense is good in the paint I believe, but if we start hitting jumpers... we got this. ESPECIALLY out 3's.

Bosh is back now, we have yet to really play well. Just spurts at the right time. I would love it if we started to play some real Heat ball this time around.

Best of luck guys

here's to a good series.

Whoever makes the games threads, better pimp the sh*t out of them!

I think we'll see Cole do a good job shutting down Westbrook, dunno why but I think he can.

Also, it's easier said than done, but steal a game in OKC and the Finals is ours to lose.

Yea...but Thabo won't get much burn. Are they going to give Thabo more minutes than Harden?
