Put me down for Spurs in 6......I realize everybody and their mom will jump on the Spurs bandwagon. until Wade shows up and Bosh remembers that he was once a 20/10 guy i will stick with the Spurs in 6.

Bosh may have forgotten, but Haslem seems to have noticed that he needs to pick up his game since Bosh has been broke. Haslem's playing some very productive basketball to take the heat off Bosh, but Wade simply needs to get things figured out quick if they want another title.

Just like in the finals against the Mavs a couple of years ago, Wade gets a pass and Lebron has to put everything on his shoulders.

Not just yet. I'm actually really enjoying this series. Not a Pacer fan, by any means, and had them wrote off before the series started, but they're playing very hard and giving Miami everything they can handle. I'm really enjoying the effort and physicality of this series and not quite ready for it to be over.

It's been some great basketball. Indiana is huge and strong, if they just had a bench I think they could have pulled this off.

I agree with the lack of a bench, but they also need more consistent guard play and better perimeter scoring as well. Too many games where Hill/Stephenson seem to disappear and they also don't really have a 3 point threat on the outside to help space the floor.

Unbelievably. this is turning into the Lebron version of the Cavaliers. They may win Game 7, but if he doesn't start getting help, the Finals will be a shorter series than expected...IMO.

Ray Allen also is looking completely washed up this series. The Heat need someone, anyone else to step up for 18+ next game. I fully expect an epic game from LeBron on Monday but that might not be enough.

He is just beat up physically and it is starting to take its toll......Wade had a good regular season, but right now he just doesn't have anything left in the tank. Moving forward, Miami or wherever Wade ends his career will have to come up with a schedule where Wade sits out some regular season games just to preserve him for the playoffs.
 
After watching ecf and now the the first half tonight, ive decided I like the TNT crew much better. Both studio with chuck and the jet and especially enjoy reggies color.
 
The one thing that I don't understand is the fact that "the Spurs pulled the upset and stole one from Miami". I thought I saw on ESPN's ticker yesterday that teams with a 7 day or longer layoff had gone something like 29-1 in the series opener. Not sure how that classifies as a major upset or steal. Should be a great Championship series.
 
I don't watch much of the NBA but usually check in for the Finals. That was a helluva dagger Parker stuck in the Heat as the shot clock was running down at the end of the game last night. I see a lot of the talking heads have suddenly jumped on the Spur's bandwagon, but I certainly am not writing off the Heat just yet.

In the NHL, it looks like the surprising Bruins vs the Black Hawks going for the Stanley Cup this year. The Penguins have been a major disappointment in their semifinals. I'm still pulling for Chicago to win it all again and think they will get it done.
 
Looks like we got a series now, nice bounce back win by Miami. I think these two teams split the next two and the Heat steal Game 5 and finish it in six.

Have to admit I am a little concerned about Giniboli..... Pretty much played like dog poo throughout the playoffs, but now they are going to need him. If he could provide something similar to what mike Miller is providing for the Heat then that would be enough, I just do not know if that is in him. I agree with you and everyone else that whoever gets the next 2 of 3 will probably win the series.
 
The Spurs won't shoot like that again, but the way they destroyed Miami on the glass and how easy they got past Miami's initial trap on pick and rolls is worrisome for my Miami in six prediction. LeBron needs to take the wide open 3's the Spurs are giving him instead of dribbling around and then stepping in for long two's, those are terrible shots that he's taking.
