I have the Thunder in 6.

Home court advantage will play a huge role. In order for the Heat to win, I think Bosh needs to have the series of his life. Ibaka and Perkins will make life much more difficult in the paint than Boston did, so they're going to need consistent play from Bosh to spread out the floor. Both James and Wade will need to be effective jump shooters in addition to taking whatever they can get in the paint. They also can't afford to have Chalmers and Battier vanish. These are probably the two best fast break teams in the league, so turnovers will be huge.

Unless Westbrook goes full on chuck mode, I just think the Thunder have too much.

Would be surprised if the series does not go to seven games. I think people underestimate Miami's defense.

Will be close, but I say Miami wins. Will be happy either way, the Thunder are awesome.

I'm still trying to understand this... if you had to pick, you would take Harden over Westbrook? Are you okay?

Uh yea. When westbrook finally figured out to give the ball up and stop shooting so much they handled the spurs.

Westbrook is good I just believe Harden changes the game more than Westbrook.

On the whole, for sure. Although I expect there will be at least one game where Westbrook both goes hero mode and is on point

I'm saying Miami in 6 but I haven't figured out if that's what I think is gonna happen or if that's just what I want to happen.

I will say this. I've been pulling for the Heat the whole time but if anybody but the Heat is was gonna win it I hoped it would be OKC. So either way I won't be too disappointed.

On average Harden is the better player, and he is more consistent. Westbrook has greater variance in his performances. On any given night Westbrook could be among the best performers, or among the worst. Harden is rarely among the worst.

I would not say he is a better player physically, but mentally he has it over westbrook.

This is funny Skip Bayless and Stephen Smith before the game starts.
My prediction the Thunder beat the Heat in game one by 4 points.

I love watching Smith totally own Bayless on everything that involves the NBA, the look on Smith's face is hilarious when Skip is just rambling on and on without merit or a point in sight.
