Off The Reservation

I want Boston to win. Love KG and Ray Allen. Would like to see them have the option to retire on top.

I think OKC will win with little challenge. Their ability and depth is just plain great.

Hey I'm late to this. I honestly forgot this board existed.

Been a Heat fan since day 1, so obviously pulling for them. I think they can beat OKC but not sure if they can beat Popovich and the Spurs.

If Wade and LBJ keep playing like they did the past two games they'll be tough.

1. Heat. I'd love to see Wade/Bosh/James win a championship together and shove it in the faces of all those crybabies.

2. Spurs. I spent a year in San Antonio and they play team ball over the individual player. It ain't flashy but it is better than watching the Mavs put everyone to sleep on their way to a trophy.

3. Anyone but Lakers. Lakers=permaban IMO

The bench thing is misleading. Unlike OKC and SA, Miami starts all of their best players, while both the other teams brings one of their top guys off the bench. For instance, take Harden off the bench and put him in the starting line up, and is the OKC bench still better than the Heat? Not really...

So you still like the bench for OKC without Harden? Who do you like that much on there? Collison tries hard.

Aside from Harden, I do see Collison as a big contributor to their success. Also like Cook & Mohammed. They're just too young and complete for anyone to take in a best of 7 series IMO. Boston is case in point. Philly has the youth which carries an advantage in a series.
