Me. I think it will be the pacers. It's really hard to go to four straight finals. But the pacers are really their only competition and vice versa.

As for the question, of course they have a shot. And of course it won't be easy. In 2012 they were down 3-2 in the ECF. In 2013 they were down 3-2 in the finals with 28 secs left down 5. Winning a championship is never easy and always takes some luck.

I think the Thunder, Spurs and Pacers could all possibly beat the heat in a series. I give the Heat a better chance but the Heat along with those 3 teams are all capable of beating each other. The Blazers aren't getting got he finals. Not enough experience at all. Good team, will make some noise in the playoffs but they are no contenders IMO. There are 4 true contenders IMO. The Spurs, Thunder, Pacers and Heat. Maybe Houston.
i hate the heat but only 2 teams have a shot at taking them down. pacers spurs

I look at the Spurs & Thunder as the only real threats to them. The Heat should finish with a better record then the Pacers which'll give them home court advantage in the ECF, so I think they survive them.
Had Westbrook not gotten hurt last year, I think Oklahoma City could've easily taken them out in the finals. Portland's having a nice year so far, but they're a cut below SA & OKC.

I called a threepeat by Miami way before they won the first. I'll stick to that.
