Who wins a 7 game series? 2013 Heat or the 2017 Spurs with a healthy Kawhi all series?

2013 Heat
Mario Chalmers / Norris Cole
Dwyane Wade / Ray Allen
LeBron James / Mike Miller
Udonis Haslem / Shane Battier
Chris Bosh / Chris Anderson

2017 Spurs
Tony Parker / Patty Mills
Danny Green / Manu Ginobili
Kawhi Leonard / Jonathan Simmons
LaMarcus Aldridge / Kyle Anderson
Pau Gasol / Dewayne Dedmon

No Duncan, Tony & Ginobili are older versus the best Heat team out of that period with a prime Lebron. Yeah, I'm going with the Heatles.

The Heat beat a better version of the Spurs that year.

i thinl 2017 spurs were not as good as 2013 version, thet have a better offensive star but the rest of the team is worse imo ans they lack duncan which was key against miami

i pick heat by a slight margin

Yeah I think that version of the Spurs would do a worse job of defending Lebron. Kawhi wouldn’t be putting as much energy into d, and having Aldridge and/or Pau under the basket isn’t the same as Duncan.

Tough series, I'd think. Depends on forms of the rest rotation after Kawhi/LMA and Lebron/Wade/Bosh, both team had great rotation to used it.
