Nice write up but you left off a very important measurement to assess
DEFENSE....edge Miami
LBJ is ALL NBA 1st team on defense and D Wade leads all guard in blocked shots.......Miami's strength is the OKC strength....perimeter play vs perimeter defense
Yes, OKC has Ibaka....and sefalosis.....but Miami has LBJ, Wade, Anthony, Battier and Chalmers and Haslem and excellent miss of speed on perimeter, shot blocking and move your feet draw the charge defense in the league
Defense wins titles...I actually like Miami to shock the world (lol) and split in OKC...then win 2 @ home and come back to OKC up 3 games to 2.....if OKC is strong like you say then they win both games at home to win it....but I say with LBJ smelling a title....they will get that 1 extra win in OKC and get the ring for the king.
Also, I do like wade, bosh and lBJ > over westbrook, harden and durant.......stars win out..and the heats 3 olympic stars & US all stars will beat OKC 2 olyhmpic stars & 2 all stars
I think miami will play their 3 guys heavy minutes and so will okc so the bench (depth_ measurement is over-blown)

Yeah, I am a LBJ guy
Of course, teams win titles not individuals (team always beat star)
That being said, I think Boston is the Heat arch nemesis....you have to throw that series out......
Also, from 2 games into the Indy series up to Game 5 of the Boston series ------- there was no BOSH
I think Bosh makes a HUGE difference with Miami's offense...and they will score more fluidly than everyone thinks as Bosh continues to get back into rhythm hitting that open jumper
I am waiting for the move where he pump fakes it and goes to the hoop and throws it down....thats where he got hurt in the indy series....and that move (when made) will be symbolic and signal that Bosh is 100%
Even if he does not make that signature move - I think he still is more than capable of spreading the floor and nailing that shot.
Also, as good as Parker is...I think Miami will be the best transition team that OKC will have faced....
