I'm admittedly guessing on the Heat starting five. I'll update it when it's known.

The fact that I'm still guessing is one of the few reasons I give OKC the slight nod. I like OKC in 6 really hard fought games. More depth, more size and home court advantage really are the differences for me.

Gotta see how much of an advantage will more size give OKC other then that

[ManRamForPrez24]

I don't think the size will matter a ton. OKC's bigs don't score in the paint much, if at all, and that's where the Heat can be exposed. But still...more size can never hurt.

What's the over/under on Perkins techs this series?

Regardless take the over.

Bosh has to make shots and drag Ibaka out of the paint

There is no such thing as 'home court advantage' if they only play 6 games. However, it would make sense if you picked them in 5 or 7.

don't care which one, just need the heat to split the first 2 and i feel extremely confident about the heat winning this series. just want it to get underway though. these 9 pm starts are a bit ridiculous though.

Cant wait. Miami needs to win one of the first 2 in okc.

There's potential to throw KD on Bosh when they stretch the floor with him; Does double duty by giving him a break on Lebron and keeping him out of the potential early foul trouble there. I think KD could do a great job on Bosh defensively, but if he does go hard to the paint then Ibaka's still there for the helpside as usual.

I'm taking OKC in 7. Miami took too long to get there and had to rely so much on the big 3 (well, Lebron) that I think the Thunder will wear them down. Home court for the team that just took 4 straight from one of the best teams we've seen in years? I'll take that squad.

Heat win

[lakerfan85]

Thunder in 5..

[Tha Truth]

This is the year LeBron gets his ring.

Three times a charm.

[Dade County]

The HEAT is going to be to much for OKC... But I do have to say this series is going to be amazing!

Bosh will dominate if they put KD on him... smh foul trouble city
