___

Rank your choices.

1.Heat/Clippers
2.Heat/THunder





3. Heat/Blazers
4. Heat/Spurs

[MavsSuperFan]

Heat - Thunder
Heat - Spurs
Heat - Clippers
Heat - Blazers
___

Rank your choices.
1. Heat - Thunder
Epic match up of the two biggest stars in the league. Magic vs Bird revived.

2. Heat - spurs or Heat clippers
a good 2nd option either way. Either a rematch between the heat and spurs, which was one of the greatest series of all time, or an exciting team with a compelling storyline (overcoming sterling) in the clips. Clips are also an exciting fan friendly team, and LA is a huge market. Clippers play the kind of basketball, people who arent really fans of the nba enjoy watching.

(even if you dont think the sterling angle is that compelling, you know the NBA is going to play it to death if they get to the finals)

99th. heat - blazers.
This would be somewhat of a disaster for the league.

[NumberSix]

MIA vs LAC
MIA vs SAS
MIA vs OKC
MIA vs POR

[Le Shaqtus]

Heat vs Clippers
Heat vs Thunder
Heat vs Blazers
Heat vs Spurs

[elementally morale]

You got it wrong. I'm not Adam Silver.

[blazersfan52]

As a Blazers fan, the league would not want that to happen, I rank it
OKC - Heat, Would be the matchup of the 2 best players in the league not much else to say.
Clippers - Heat, Great matchup the people would just love to see.
Spurs - Heat, Rematch of last years finals, people would love it.
Blazers - Heat, While I'd love to see this, It would not be the best for the league, it would not rate near any of the other three I think.

[Jlamb47]

Im a spurs fan but i think the most exciting matchup would be OKC VS MIA

KD VS LBJ would be epic

[mr.big35]

spurs pacers
thunder wizards

[D-FENS]

Heat - Thunder
Heat - Spurs
Heat - Clippers
Heat - Blazers
___

Rank your choices.

Israel vs Palestine.

[SilkkTheShocker]

spurs pacers
thunder wizards


That would be the absolute worst outcome.

[sd3035]

Obviously Silver will do everything in his power to get the Heat there so people can see Bosh, not that it will be a difficult task in the East

[mr.big35]

That would be the absolute worst outcome.

who cares about ratings and the money

[sd3035]

who cares about ratings and the money

The people who run the league unfortunately, that's why certain teams (Heat, Lakers previously) are given extra chances to win

[Solefade]

Obviously Silver will do everything in his power to get the Heat there so people can see Bosh, not that it will be a difficult task in the East


just like how Silver did everything in his power to get KD out of the first round?

Re: You're a Good ISH Poster, which intelligent basketball thread would you post?

[Demitri98]

Heat - Thunder
Heat - Spurs
Heat - Clippers
Heat - Blazers
___

Rank your choices.
1. Heat - Thunder
Two best players in the world, big time rivalry, story of OKC getting back to the Finals, huge publicity for the league

2. Heat - Clippers
Lob City vs LeBron and co. would be big time marketing for the league. CP3 getting the monkey off his shoulder and Blake trying to show he's the real deal vs LeBron trying to three-peat and cement his legacy would be awesome.

3. Heat - Blazers
The cinderella story of Lillard being a first time All-Star, LMA going ham, and a team that didn't make the playoffs the year before with a very similar roster going to the Finals is a story for the ages.

4. Heat - Spurs
Ho hum, same Finals as the year before, Bron being Bron, Spurs running their unstoppable system, woop dee doo dah.

[tomSR.]

Anyone beside the Heat vs. Clippers..........Clippers win, and everyone rejoyses and jizzes in their pants, that the team rose above the "evil" owner

[NumberSix]

Nobody enjoys watching how the thunder play basketball.

[Mr. Jabbar]

HEAT / BLAZERS

not even close

[Adam Silver]

Heat - Thunder
Heat - Spurs
Heat - Clippers
Heat - Blazers
___

Rank your choices.

I can't quite yet decide between Heat/Thunder and Heat/Clippers.

[MavsSuperFan]

Israel vs Palestine.
one sided, non competitive match up

[Ramza]

Heat/Clippers.

Make it happen Silver :bowdown:

[BigBoss]

Heat-Thunder obviously.

[k0kakw0rld]

Heat/Spurs Rematch/Timmy going for 5th ring and Bron's 3peat and legacy once again on the line.
Heat/OKC - Matchup between two of the most explosive teams in the league. 1 vs 2 best player in the league.
Heat/Clippers - Whatever
Heat/Blazers - Whatever!

[Lebronxrings]

heat vs clippers
vs okc it would be a repeat of 2012, spurs are boring and blazers would get swept.

[East_Stone_Ya]

he would prefer pacers-clippers finals

[Adam Silver]

he would prefer pacers-clippers finals

LOL, I would never help the Pacers.

[BoutPractice]

This year, any Finals series involving the Heat has the potential to be great.
Whether it's Heat-Thunder, Heat-Spurs, Heat-Clippers or Heat-Blazers, you would be seeing a lot of great, entertaining basketball.

Heat-Thunder has the Federer-Nadal factor. Heat-Spurs the revenge factor and sheer quality of play. Heat-Clippers, Hollywood drama, crowd pleasing dunks and four of the most well known superstars in the league in LeBron, Wade, CP3 and Blake. Finally, Heat-Blazers could be a Heat-Mavs style showdown between a likeable underdog with an aesthetically pleasing offense and a Monstars-like squad. Most importantly, it would feature Damian Lillard. (Bonus points if we get to see Nic Batum punching a certain someone where it hurts)

The less attractive matchups are those with Washington, Brooklyn, and Indiana if somehow one of them upsets Miami.

[Nikola_]

If you are adam silver, you definietly want to start off strong. You want Miami-OKC/Clippers

[VIntageNOvel]

HEAT / BLAZERS

not even close

imagine lilard and allen 3 point showdown in clutch time :eek:

[East_Stone_Ya]

LOL, I would never help the Pacers.

:oldlol:

[KrizMiz]

Wizards - Blazers!

[ILLsmak]

You got it wrong. I'm not Adam Silver.

I look at these threads for post like these. goodjob.

[knicksman]

and? wheres nba going with this rigging to have the desired matchup? Yeah 2 lockouts. Finals series is just the cover of a book. Only idiots are fooled by it or the sheeps(betas). If this was a player, they are the robertsons/lebron who just look good on stats but impact wise, they are no better than kobe, much more jordan.

[Hoopz2332]

heat vs clippers
vs okc it would be a repeat of 2012, spurs are boring and blazers would get swept.


this

[ralph_i_el]

:no: Wizards-Clippers

[iBandwagon]

I'm think Heat vs Clippers, just because of the ban of Sterling thing. It continues to keep Silver in the spotlight.

[VengefulAngel]

Heat vs Spurs rematch. One of the most exciting finals ever last year.
