Atleast we know Durant can score and they have D.Fish as a backup. It isn't like the Bulls losing Rose last year

Westbrook to Fisher is a bigger drop off than Rose to Hinrich.

They do have Durant and he will have to carry them.

Well they are the #1 seed in the West and are 6 games behind Miami if you mean the #1 seed in the championship. But, Miami rested their players for quite a few games and after they lost their winning streak. Probably would have finished with a better record if needed.

So who knows.

I'm still not ready to crown Miami, personally. I think teams that give them a mismatch with size still have a punchers chance. I thought Thunder had the best chance but Pacers/Knicks in the East and Grizzlies/Clippers in the west shouldn't be discounted. It wouldn't be likely but they all have legit centers and power forwards. Well, minus the Knicks. They picked Kenyon up off the street to play power forward lol. But, Jordan/Griffin, Gasol/Z-bo, Hibbert/West and Chandler all present a mismatch for Miami. All of those centers are mismatches.

90% chance the Heat will win another championship but I'm not ready to concede defeat. Pacers were up 2-1 on them last season. An older Celtics team took them to 7. And the Thunder won 2 games as well. The Heat's route to the championship didn't go as smoothly as some people seem to remember it.

Again, a size advantage isn't really an advantage when you have a team that can get up and down the floor like Miami can.

Whoever decided to trade Harded cost them that chance

I agree to an extent. Harden wouldn't have been doing what he's doing in OKC. I hated that he got traded, but it had to be done. Plus I'm glad Harden has gotten to shine. Where I agree is if they had Harden the Westbrook injury would have been easier to deal with. Westbrook frustrates me to no end, but the kid can ball. Time to see if KD is who we think he is, or if Russ plays the way he does cause KD is too laid back. If the Thunder fall apart and KD plays poorly, the perception of him may very well change. May also show how valuable Russ is.
