This prediction is starting to look pretty good.OK, prediction:
The game goes back and forth the whole way until about 8 minutes left in the 4th quarter. At that point Miami takes control. They will win by a comfortable 10-12 points. LeBron will have a good, not great game. Wade will have a much better game offensively than in the last two games. Pierce and Rondo will play very well. But the key to this game will be Bosh's presence on defense; he will help to neutralize Garnett in the post.
Miami 102, Boston 90.

Well, once the shot clock got down to 3ish, he didn't have a choice, but he definitely ran too much clock IMO.Including that Lebron 3. Just because it went in doesnt mean it was a good shot.Some terrible shots from the Heat following that LeBron 3 from Wade and James both.
I've never heard anything like that.cue the Lebron >= Jordan
Wade is a doosh.Really, really hate when players do that strut around after a big play instead of high five'ing a teammate or something.

He's not the only one who does it. Pierce, LeBron and Kobe all do it for sure. I think Kobe might have started it. Maybe thats why it annoys me.Wade is a doosh.Really, really hate when players do that strut around after a big play instead of high five'ing a teammate or something.
Kobe will be back in the Finals next year!It's a new NBA...Durant and Lebron take the reigns from Kobe, Duncan and the Celtic three.

Because Lebron has never been there...It's a new NBA...Durant and Lebron take the reigns from Kobe, Duncan and the Celtic three.
That's why Durant is loved...of the future HOFers, he's the classiest.Makes you want to root for OKC...and then there is Westbrook.He's not the only one who does it. Pierce, LeBron and Kobe all do it for sure. I think Kobe might have started it.

Where is OKC going? OCK gets more experience and closer to their prime years and the Lakers get older.Kobe will be back in the Finals next year!It's a new NBA...Durant and Lebron take the reigns from Kobe, Duncan and the Celtic three.![]()

not unless Durant dies.Juwan HowardIn championships spanning four decades.Eddie Curry is going to the finals!
ReallyThese past few years have been great for the NBA. The NBA is really in a golden age right now.
Since when did the 80's become the prehistoric era? Bird and Magic and Dr J and then Jordan saved the NBA from extinction.Rondo missed that towel throw like an open elbow jumper.
I thought the same thing. Glad to see guys like Ray Allen still have class.He didn't say the Golden Age.ReallyThese past few years have been great for the NBA.

IMHO, the number of talented teams these past few years surpasses any year from the 80s.ReallyThese past few years have been great for the NBA.

It was about as accurate as his "floater."Rondo missed that towel throw like an open elbow jumper.
This has the makings of the most entertaining finals any of us have ever seen.Certainly since Lakers/Celts in the 80s for me.

, although it was fun watching Jordan own the NBA in the 90s.ya know that the detroit pistons had to beat the bird led celtics, the jordan led bulls and the magic/worthy/kareem lakers to win the title in 1989?No era can ever top that. everIMHO, the number of talented teams these past few years surpasses any year from the 80s.ReallyThese past few years have been great for the NBA.

I agree, and I'll go one step further. I think if you could magically plop the '86 Celtics into these playoffs, they'd win the crown. They are the best team I've personally ever seen. MOST people disagree, and I may be off my rocker, but I'm not so sure.I keep hearing the "athleticism" argument. These players are too athletic for the '86 Celtics.That's very fair. But we're not talking about a basketball team from 1942 here. Larry Bird played on the same Olympic team with MJ. Would anyone claim that MJ in his prime wouldn't be just as great today? Of course not. 1986 was not THAT long ago.So I conceded the athleticism argument. Now tell me how any team today would account for Hall-of-Famer Larry Bird, two Hall-of-Fame twin towers, a Hall-of-Fame point guard AND a Hall-of-Fame 6th man. I don't see how anyone could dismiss their chances.ya know that the detroit pistons had to beat the bird led celtics, the jordan led bulls and the magic/worthy/kareem lakers to win the title in 1989?No era can ever top that. ever
It made me pull for the Devils even more...Enjoyed the Simmons piece on Grantland. I usually can't stand to read him, but he nailed it.
Concur.Thunder!This has the makings of the most entertaining finals any of us have ever seen.
