Dunno if you're trolling or not but that absolutely would not surprise me. Spurs are on another level right now.

Hilt, I truly believe that both SA/OKC each could survive lights out offensive play by the 3 headed monster and still win games.
Kobe had 42 points on 55% shooting in Game 5 yet Lakers lost by nearly 20 points...

OKC isn't the toughest place to play on the road?

Portland is definitely up there. Easily 1 & 2 between OKC and Portland. Can make great arguments for both.

Well, if we're assuming Bosh is back to his normal level AND Bron/Wade play like they have the last 3 games, then they are absolutely impossible to beat.

That's probably the next question?
Can the duo continue to put up monster games like these?
Remains to be seen, but if so, they got it. I hope it happens

No.
LeBron and Wade are scoring 60-70 a night. No matter what anyone says, they are at their best when that happens.
Bosh will help, but his value is at its highest when Wade and James aren't having particularly good nights.
The Big Two have proven that they are capable of having great games without Bosh. And as long as the Heat continue to play physical defense in the post (which Bosh doesn't really do anyway), they really should be fine in terms of defense and rebounding even if Bosh isn't fully healthy.
The Spurs and Thunder, considering their home-court advantage, are both better than the Heat as of now. As it turns out, the Pacers were overrated.
Are you ready for this statement?... Roy Hibbert isn't as good as we thought. He isn't as strong offensively as we initially figured he was. Sure, he's tall. But if he was that great, he'd be going for 20/15 every night against an undersized Heat interior. He couldn't do that. fricking 12/8 back-to-back games? Give me a break. He just isn't that good. If the Pacers had a guy like Bynum, they'd have probably won this series, or at least sent it to 7 games.
West played pretty good tonight, but he still allowed himself to be guarded by Shane Battier. To be honest, the Pacers just weren't as good as we thought they were. The Heat should be able to dominate them without Bosh. And they should be able to handle Boston/Philly without Bosh.
But whoever comes out of the West is a different animal. They aren't unbeatable if they run into a REAL TEAM, just like last year.
The Spurs will beat the Heat.

But...that's obviously unlikely. If Bosh is 100% healthy, they're definitely a favorite over OKC and a slight favorite over San Antonio IMO.
San Antonio is favored against anyone. Maybe not in Vegas, but in reality.

Back in 2010 playoffs several sports writers, many of whose were 20 years into their careers, said it was by far loudest crowd they'd ever heard.
So I was right, you are basing it on how loud it is and not, oh you know, what actually happens on the court.

Vegas is infinitely more reality than the MSB's collective opinions.

I was serious as all hell. Spurs are the beam team in basketball and has been all season. The Thunder series is going to be fun to watch.

And Vegas' odds are somewhat, if not mostly, based on the collective opinions of retards around the country, many of whom post on message boards.

If the heat beat my celtics i will definitely be pulling for the thunder or SA in the finals.
Indiana's defense was atrocious last night. Your best bet is taking out dwayne wade and then let lebum get his points. He cannot do it all himself. You have to take one of them out of the game. Those two are carrying that team right now.

Last 3 games:
LBJ/Wade: 69/16/10, 58/13/10, and then 70/27/15.
Wbrook/Durant: 53/13/8, 68/15/7, and then 52/14/2.
Based on those stats alone, I think the Heat would have taken 2 out of 3 games if it were MIA vs OKC the last 3 games.
With that said, I'm fairly confident SA is going to beat OKC and I think SA provides a much more difficult matchup for MIA.
However, MIA should cruise versus BOS/PHI whereas OKC/SA is going to be a fight to the death. MIA should be in better shape going into the finals.
