I'm gonna say Heat/Spurs, and Heat in 7.

I really feel like the Spurs matchup well v the Heat, but can't imagine the past prime Spurs beating Lebron in his prime in a 7 game series.

Teams like the Clippers get weaker in the playoffs due to depth becoming less important. Also, I don't know who they resort to for crunch time offense in the playoffs. PG oriented teams have not fared well over the past 20 years.

There's just something I don't trust about the Thunder. I think Durant is overrated and Westbrook is a very flawed player. I think they'll miss Harden and they have an overrated front court. Ibaka is not a great defender and Perkins is a below average center.

They say the Spurs match up poorly against them, but I don't necessarily think they can beat the Spurs again. The athleticism/quickness advantage is glaring but I really like this years Spurs.

Their roster really is pretty unimpressive.
