Does Miami have a legitimate shot vs San Antonio or OKC?

[nba_55]

A team with Wade and Lebron will always have a legitimate chance against any team.

[Batz]

This is exactly why I think Miami has a better chance against OKC. Spurs are pretty much a steroid version of last year's Mavericks, the ball moves and they don't make mistakes, OKC can be pretty erratic at times when taking care of the ball, and Miami is the last team you want turning the ball over against.

Spurs and Mavericks are very different. Mavericks were just hot, 3 point crazy and Dirk was just playing out of his minds when it mattered most.

The spurs changed up their offense. Basically making Parker the focal point. The ball moves plenty, sure, but it's run through the guards and then Duncan whereas in previous years they ran it through the Spurs' big three in Parker/Duncan/Giniboli. Much more different than last years Mavericks offense.

Not to mention the Spurs have a better defensive repertoire. They're not better defensively individually than the 2011 Mavericks, but I think they can shock the world. And Pop has done a good amount of that.

It'll all come down to coaching, or Lebron/Wade clicking. Heat fans should be slightly afraid, because a small miracle is much needed going up against either OKC or Spurs. Spo better do his homework too.

I like the heat vs okc matchup cuz the thunder turn the ball over far too much. I like the spurs chances vs the heat cuz the spurs are a veteraan team with the core having championship experience. But the heat can definately beat both teams.

Let me Splain a little something... IF Lebron and Wade play like they have over the past 3 games and they get production from Role players like last 3 games and Have Bosh back not only do they have a legit shot I EXPECT THEM TO WIN !!! Here is Why Wade and Lebron can single handily dominate a game and there Defense and Speed would give SA fits Running a smooth offense while their Experience would be difference against Wet behind the ears OKC..

Have u not been watching the last 3 games?

Miami is a bi polar team like someone previously mentioned.

They can look like absolute rubbish and then come out on a streak and look damn near invincible.

If miami plays like it has been the last couple games they will beat both teams. Infact without bosh, lebron and wade both know they need to be super aggressive which has actually helped them.

It wuld be ridiculous to say they dont have a good chance

[gengiskhan]

Ball movement will be interesting. Miami is dangerous and play the lanes better than any team in the league.

& OKC dont

apparently all of a sudden Durant extra long wingspan has been cut to size overnight.

Apparently Westbrook cannot deflect a passing lane & come up with wild shot on breakaway that shifts the momentum completely in OKL favor.

OKL too athletic, too quick, too young. You add Ibaka & Perkins to the OKL paint area. MIA will be in trouble if Bosh dont show up 100%.

No chance at all against San Antonio. 10% chance against OKC. Good luck thou...would love to see Wade get his second ring. This is, Lebron's jumpshot is broken and boy will he need it against those teams. Dallas laid the blueprint, still effective.

Let's see then

[Soundwave]

Recovery time for an abdominal tear is generally 3 weeks. Ginobli had one and pushed it down to about 15 days during the regular season, but if Miami can get past the 76ers/Celtics, Bosh should not only be healthy but well rested for the Finals.

If Spoelstra was saying there was a chance Bosh would play in game 7 (if neccessary) vs. the Pacers, then it's almost certain Bosh has a 1st or 2nd degree ab strain, which is not *that* bad.

I think Bosh will play in game 1 of the next round honestly, Miami just has to hope he doesn't re-injure in the first 4-5 days.

Once he clears that window, he should be OK.

dallas didnt do shiz.

Lebron was tired/having mental issues lol (whatever u wana believe) and played terrible (for him).

If he played like himself they wuld have won that series.

So my point is if lebron turns up then spurs wont be able to stop him, if he doesnt its most likely his fault. (not insulting the spurs in any way)

[EnoughSaid]

Definitely. If Wade, LeBron and Bosh perform like they're supposed to, the title is in the bag. The most important thing is going to be the role players, especially Haslem, Miller, Battier and Chalmers stepping up. It's nice that there are no dominant big men left in the Playoffs, so Miami's lack of size inside won't hurt them as much in the Finals. LET'S GO HEAT!

Duncan: 18 PPG | 9 RPG | 2 BPG | 54 FG% in this postseason so far.

That boy too old, his knees hurt

That boy too old, his knees hurt

Why do you even bother talking when you don't watch the games?

Duncan is looking as fresh as ever. Much different then the TD we've seen the past couple years.

[1987_Lakers]

That boy too old, his knees hurt

Duncan hasn't felt this fresh in 3-4 years and despite his old age he is still more mobile than slow ass Hibbert.
