I'm tired these types of arguments. Just like the people saying, "Well, the heat lost game one against OKC an Chicago so that means they'll automatically beat the Spurs too." Not only does that disrespect champions like the Spurs by putting them on the same level as teams that have never won a ship, but it's pointless.

Spurs are 13-2 in the playoffs this year. Heat are 12-5.
Heat are 4-4 in their last 8 games while the Spurs are 7-1 in their last 8 games.
Spurs are on a 7 game winning streak in the playoffs. Heat are on a one game losing streak.
Heat are 1-2 in their last three games.

See? stats can be thrown around to make a case for anyone. Can the heat still win this series? Of course! You'd be a fool to count them out. But it's not gonna be because of some ridiculous stat.

I'm having trouble understanding what you mean by CHAMPIONS because the spurs haven't won the title in 6 years. So not sure why you are referring to them as champions when they didn't even make the Finals last year.

Way to totally ignore the main point of my post because you couldn't counter it.

Whether they've won last year or not is neither here nor there. The fact of the matter is, the Spurs coaching staff and core have shown that they know how to get it done multiple times now. They're champions just like Kobe is still a champion even if he hasn't won in a few years.

Are you honestly telling me that that type of experience doesn't put them a notch above the Bulls and the Pacers?

if they split at miami, then the heat have to beat miami three consecutive times to win. because even if it's game 6 at 3-2, i'm thinking in miami they'd force a game 7. and a game 7, away, against Lebron?

I just don't see it.

But maybe I'm wrong.

the finals format really favors the heat...

Regardless of the Spurs experience, Lebron and the Heat has not given me any reason to believe they won't tie the series in game 2 based on past history. Now if they lose then I can probably say the series is over but until the Heat lose 2 games in a row which they haven't done since january, you have to pick them has your best bet for Game 2.
