You guys seem to be fighting Miami fans [who think they will ezpz roll over all the other teams with their star power]...that are invisible. I don't see any bigoted/stupid Heat fans whose views are as blind you guys are representing. Maybe you participate on other forums where there are those types of fans or a lot of your irl friends are that way, but please don't take it out on us over here

I don't like to participate in Internet flamewars heated debates but I believe you are misrepresenting the position of a lot of Heat fans (or just conjuring up those type of people in this thread to attack) and making a straw man argument...


Excuse me? These are exactly the views of the last couple of Heat fans. Shockeyy explicitly said 'regular season doesn't matter'. BlueRoyal can't understand why SA and OKC are regarded as better teams by some because he's basing it entirely on the value of the stars.

If some people think that Miami is going to win and that their stars will outweigh the weakness of their bench then they can make that prediction. Don't make analysis-less posts, though. And don't make bizarre comments like 'they have a great supporting cast'. In the words of Sir Chuck, the supporting cast stinks. Probably the worst in the playoffs.

In conclusion, even if you're defending your home team, please make an attempt at objective analysis.


Yall are seriously taking this shit way out of proportion.

I never said such and such a team is BETTER - i was making the argument that people that are stating okc/spurs are better than heats are just as wrong as people stating the heat is better than either.

objective analysis is almost impossible in these kinds of discussions - the fact that people try to argue bench/depth > star power makes it obvious. Yes star players are important, bench/depth is important, but since when has it been so undoubtedly clear that bench/depth > star power?

I'm not saying the case is otherwise, im just trying to say that people need to stop with their elitist basketball perspectives. Even if Miami were to take it all this year, it wouldn't mean that star power > bench/depth. It would be just one case out of decades of play.

lets just let the results speak from themselves. People try to be all analytical and shit before the games are played out, then make excuses after.

Who in here seriously expected clippers to beat memphis this year? In all honesty I'm assuming no very many did. Who expected 76ers to beat a bulls (albeit a roseless one)? Pretty sure most of us assumed that the rose could at least get past 1st round, even without rose.

see where im getting at?


I don't see where your getting at once so ever, Noah was hurt, Deng was hurt as well. So three of your starting five hurt and you expect to get out of the first round? And why couldn't the Clippers beat them in a Playoffs series, they beat them in the regular season series. So I do not get what your trying to say at all. In all honestly I thought both teams were going to win the series because of injuries to the Bulls best players and Clippers having the better overall team.

I hope OKC wins vs MIA in the Finals. Would be a great storyline. MIA would have to do something. Trading Wade for Dwight would be interesting. :D



Could you please go back and tell me the last time a "young" team beat an older team in the finals?

Go ahead I'll wait.


Not sure how old the Lakers were, but I'm willing to wager that the Pistons were younger than them in the '04 Finals.

Anyway, can't wait for the rest of the Western Conference Finals series to play out. Will be stunned if this series doesn't go 6+ games.

I'm not watching but I'm periodically checking this page for the scoreline, can you use that or no? >< For what it's worth, it's SA 22-15 OKC at the moment with 2 minutes to play in the first quarter.

First quarter ends, 28-22 SA leading. KD has 12 points and Duncan 10!

Ah okay, great ^^

spurs are looking clinical with their execution...and tony parker is so good...

as a heat fan, I'm worried about the spurs more than OKC.
I just hope that us being the more physical team takes its toll on them if we meet in the finals. gl okc!

Really, the best thing having Dwight does is turn you into a monster rebounding team.

this is a contradiction

yea dwight would be awful for the heat lol. Why would you want a center that stands in the paint all game when you have multiple guys that want to drive to the hoop?

Lol, Parker won't be able to do much against Miami if they put a big guy on him... Which is probably going to happen lol... Lebron on Duncan and so on...

Also OKC needs a good ass motivation in order to come back ;p
