I'm pulling for the Spurs for my guy Timmy D to win his 5th ring, but I've got the Heat winning this in 7. LeBron will carry the team to 2 wins, and one of the role players (i.e. Miller, Allen, Battier, etc) will sink a bunch of 3s to help win the other two. But then again, I had Memphis beating the Spurs and they got swept so what do I know?

I think the Heat win in 7, but they will need guys not named Lebron to play well if they want to win.  The Spurs offense is about as clinical as you can get, they have a very effective system and they run it to perfection when everyone is healthy, so IMO you have to outscore them to win.  I think the Heat can because I dont think Duncan is going to be the same kind of rim protector Hibbert was last series.  They will need to help when Lebron gets in the lane, and thats when Miami's 3 point shooting kills teams

 

Should be a great series though, I can see it going either way.

Duncan is averaging 1.7 blocks and Splitter is averaging .9 blocks per game in the Playoff's. During the regular season DUncan averaged close to 3 blocks per game.

 

 Against Memphis they averaged close to 4 blocks per game combined. I think they can protect the paint fairly well.  They absolutely can't get into foul trouble though. Leonard's also going to have to effective at using his reach to keep Lebron from driving as much.

Yeah thats the hard part.  You have to go straight up, take the contact, and still contest the shot or else Lebron is gonna either hit the layup or go the the line.   Hibbert did a fantastic job defensively last series (it showed in Indiana's defensive efficiency when Hibbert was off the court), and I dont know if Duncan and Splitter have to size to do the same thing (having a body like Hibbert or Marc Gasol helps a lot)

 

I'm really excited to see how the Spurs approach defense, you know Pop has something up his sleeve after this long wait

If the Heat play like they did against the Pacers then I feel that the Spurs will win the series in five or six. But if Bosh and Wade return to form then I think it will go the full seven games, and the Heat will edge it in a decider. 

 

My bet is on the Spurs, and personally I'd like to see them win instead of the Heat.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
