Wow...not that Memphis is not a good team, but Miami can defend just as well as Memphis as well as having the best player on the planet..There are certain facts in life and unless a catastrophic LeBron injury happens, one of those facts is that the Miami Heat are winning the title..period..end of story..no reason to even argue about it..As far as I'm concerned, you can hand Miami the title right now..Memphis would not have a prayer of beating Miami in a series..No team has a prayer of beating Miami in a series..

I'm not sure if Miami is going to be a sure bet in the Finals and "you can hand them the title right now", though I am hesitant to wager against them. Memphis is a beastly team which exposes a lot of Miami's flaws. They are methodical and unwavering in their composure and can match Miami's starting 5 very well. Their frontcourt is a nightmare for Miami. Andersen cannot guard Gasol and he will be able to facilitate from the high or low post as good as a passer as he is. Z-Bo will be able to push Bosh in the post and Bosh has not shown a willingness to bang and play on the blocks. Prince can harass LBJ with his length(but not shut him down obviously). LBJ will get his, no doubt, but will his supporting cast?
The key will be the backcourt. Will Allen be assigned to Wade? If so, I am not convinced that Wade can get his usual space and shot off against him. Wade, despite not playing much at all the last month, looks slower and has a tendency to play lazy b-ball, especially on D. It will potentially cost him against a grinding team like Memphis. Chalmers is good but can be frustrated by Conley.
If it happens, it will be a great series. I am not of the mindset that Miami is clearly the champion though.

Miami can not defend as well as Memphis. Memphis is the best defensive team in the NBA by far. Not sure if Memphis would beat the HEat but they def could. I do believe that Memphis will play Heat in finas.

Memphis has given them fits in the past during the Big 3 era. I've watched quite a few of their games since then. Sue me, there's only so many teams you can bear watching during the regular season.
Anyway, usually it was Rudy gas that was coming through in the clutch. I believe Miami handled them this year. Memphis also didn't play well vs. Houston, who plays a similar fast paced style, except with no defense.
Although Memphis has exactly what Miami's weakness is (good PG and physical big men), I think Miami would win if they were to meet. If Miami can't win it, I hope the Grizz do because it would be a small market team without a superstar winning it for once.
Anyways, why is everyone so impatient that they can't wait for the matchup? OKC still has Kevin Durant.
Miami still has to survive vs. Chicago, then beat either the Knicks (who whooped their butt by 20+ the first 2 meetings), or Indiana who whooped their butt and won the season series.
