Heat have to be glad they got the Thunder instead of the Spurs, San Antonio would have destroyed them from three.
Close series, meltdown factors on both sides, going with Heat in 6.

Amazing. Not a Heat win, a Lebron win. True to form.
Pretty much. How can anyone like wade? Maybe bosh is a little more likable.
Indeed. LeBron "The King" James epitomizes likability.

Lebron supporters are the new hipster. They support just because others hate.
They pity people from Ohio?

Heat in 7. Lebron averages 50 ppg (3ppg in the 4th). Wade wakes up from his Valtrex coma. Bosh will lead the team in 3pt percentage. Puddles and The Chosen One gets banned and offs themselves by hanging using Heat jerseys.
idc if he wins i just enjoy watching him play. what i don't get is why do people seem to revel in another human being's failures. i sure can't be happy watching someone fail at something they put forth so much effort to have the opportunity or w/e. u know what i mean
go thunder
I'm not a Miami fan -- I've been a Timberwolves fan from time we got the franchise -- but I'd like Miami to win because I feel that Lebron is unfairly shit on by a lot of people.
Did he look like an asshole with The Decision? Yes.
Did he disappear last season in the finals? Yes.
Those two things shouldn't define his career or negate all of the other things he's accomplished.
Miami got to the finals last year on Lebron's back. This year, too.
I want Miami to win, just so people can get over Lebron; though if OKC won, I'd also be cool with that.
A rivalry between Durant and Lebron that has a lot of potential.

I don't care if he wins. As a basketball fan, I just want the kid to live up to his potential.
I ridicule/criticize Lebron out of disappointment, not hate. A guy with his physical gifts shouldn't come up so short in the big moments. The off-the-court shit doesn't concern me, a lot of the greats were assholes. I want the guy to live up to the standards he set for himself as a player.
No that doesn't mean he needs to average 50/15/10 for his career and win ten rings. But he does need to show up when it counts, I.E. The Finals

The Heat just dont have as much talent.

That's silly
We had the two top teams in the West playing against each other in the conference finals and it likely would've been the same in the East has Rose not gotten injured. We saw last year that Miami can get past Chicago, even with Rose.

LeBron gets bashed too much, and if he gets a ring, he'll be criticized a lot less which will be nice. Every superstar has asshole qualities, every player in the NBA has weaknesses, it would be nice if people stopped creating fake weaknesses and qualities to hate LeBron, so go Heat.
I do really dislike Wade tho...
I'm really disappointed in the Celtics letdown...in the last two games, they played hard and with good effort in 3 of the 8 quarters.
Bron gets the credit for being unreal the last two games. He was assertive and aggressive the entire fourth quarter.
OKC Should win as they have more talent, and I still think Lebron will be true to form these finals...but that being said...this is OKC's first go around. And I really subscribe to the idea that you usually have to "learn to lose" before you learn to win. If they win in their first Finals Appearance against Wade's/Bron's 3rd finals appearance and the pressure doesn't get to them.
That will be glorious!
What fake weaknesses and qualities you talking about?
