#3 Posted: 5/20/2012 1:27:40 AM Very unlikely pacers get past both the heat and the celtics. Also OKC has a very tough task ahead against SA.
So low chance it happens. |

yup but in a conference that all teams rely on offense (the spurs have the most fluent and efficient). It ll be interesting to see what they will do against those defensive based teams in the east. |

and you have to think the spurs are favored to get by okc
still....nba needs to start rigging these games. because it could happen and that would be the end of the nba's popularity. if you remember, bird and magic brought the nba back from the drug days of old where nobody showed up to watch the nba

the Bos okc played earlier in the season was a diff team than the one at the end. Celtics have the best defense in the NBA right now and OKCs weakness is their halfcourt offense, so it could get interesting |

Old stars with their last shot at the title, two of the best coaches in the NBA, Garnett vs Duncan, Defense vs Offense...that finals would be my wish |

The point of every team in the NBA is to win a championship. darn the ratings, if people wanna watch the NBA at it's best then who ever gets there gets there. If not then, might as well make the league only about 8 teams deep and get rid of the rest, since supposedly nobody wants certain teams in the Finals.
What's the point in playing then?

#16 Posted: 5/20/2012 3:58:32 AM is it just me but anyone else want to see okc vs miami??? i hope miami gets by indiana and this series can happen, even san antonio vs miami would be good, id bet san antonio for sure to beat miami
i think the most competitive series that could be possible for nba finals though would be miami heat healthy with bosh vs okc that would be a sick series i could see it go 6 or 7 games easy and have no clue who would win that series |

Too much bets on the HEAT, Vegas would not want to lose money. They rather lose viewers, because gambling makes them more money. why? because one of their all-stars isn't playing because of the abdominal strain and the other all-star is clearly bothered by some undisclosed injury, wade. |
