So I have a question.

I understand that Miami, preferably, would rather the series not go back to Oklahoma City (and I'm not overly familiar with the effects long term - if any at all - with cramps regarding basketball players), but with a 3-1 game lead, would there be any benefit to the Heat resting Lebron a little more this next game, if this series were to drag out to a game 6 or 7?

When did they switch the finals format away from that of the regular playoff series? (also why, if anyone knows?)

They switched it in 1985, not sure why.

I would think there wouldn't be much of a benefit in doing that. I'm sure they don't want to let up either.

Personally I don't see Spo sitting LeBron. Honestly with more of LeBron's, legacy in the line, even if Spo wanted to sit him, I doubt LeBron would really agree to it. Also I believe they want to shut people up and definitely don't want it going back to OKC

It is not going back to OKC; Westbrook broke at the end of game four. He is done.



Note: Westbrook will probably go off for 50 in game five, and everyone here can call me out for being dead wrong.

Game 5 should be another good one. I expect the stars on OKC to show up big.

I agree, I don't see it going back to OKC.

He'll have to win 4+ championships and play this well every time.

He certainly has the time to do it. Also, he has an incredible window of opportunity right now.
