 Almost time for the big series to start, who do you guys got?

If you pick Dallas, Miami fans will say you are a Miami hater.

If you pick Miami, everyone will say you are a bandwagon fan.

If you are a Laker fan, you say never count out Kobe and the Lakers can still win this one.

 

Anyway, I got Dallas in 6.

 I got Miami in 7, becuz’ they have homecourt…

IMO, this will be a very close series, and surely fun to watch :p

 miami in 5 lebron and wade are gonna go beast mode

I’m gonna wait till next years finals, not this “who’s gonna keep it warm while Kobe and the lakers get their act right” finals matchup.

Lol. I like the macs but this is one of the most interesting finals matchups I have ever seen where either team can win. I’m pulling for the mavs simply because indent want to see lebron and wade win one their very first season together. If they take a few years to get it that’s fine cause they will have put in work but the very first season and their heads will be bigger then ever.

I do think Jason Kidd is the key. He just makes sure the mavs get quality possessions every time down and is playing d like young Kidd.

Miami in 6. 

Just like all the other series Miami has had.  Every game is close but LeBron closes it out late.

Dallas in 6 or 7. Dirk is on fire. No one can guard him. I want to see Lebron’s face after Dirk hits an imposible shot in his face. If Lebron does not guard Dirk (when he is not in foul trouble) i would call him a chicken. He guarded D Rose who is 5 inches shorter. If some one strugles on Dirk, i expect Lebron to take on that respnsibility. It is not his fault if Dirk scores a lot on, him, but he sould take that assignment as the best on the team.

Lebron would LOCKDOWN Dirk…..

Miami in 5. I really don’t think it’ll be as close as people think

[boxn1Participant]

I’m gonna take the winner to win in 6, haven’t made my mind up on who that will be yet.

Mavs in 7, dirk,kidd,jet have past bitter memories expect them to have extra motivation and finish the heat off

This thread won’t survive until Tuesday.

Shoulda named it NBA Finals prediction thread.

 Mavs in 7.  They are the best team in the NBA in close games by far.  This season they dramatically outscored their opponents over the final 5 minutes of games that were close with 5 minutes left.  Miami may get a couple wins by double figures, but the Mavericks will get some tough wins, and can win on the road.  I predict a real rollercoaster of a series.  Each team can easily score on the other, but, while Miami has been phenomenal in close games in the playoffs, Dallas’ execution down the stretch is on another level.

[andxxxParticipant]

 I got Miami in 6, not only do the Mavs have to deal with Wade and Lebron, but Chris Bosh has been as confident as ever.  It should be a great series

[MagikKnickParticipant]

 Miami in Six –  Lebrons not tryna go another season without having a ring..

[aamir543Participant]

Magik Knick, you could say the same about Dirk

[KayjayParticipant]

Miami in 6.

Miami is a defensive team, Lebron and Dirk will most likely cancel eachother out. Leaving depth, against surprise performances and Wade along with Bosh who caught fire during the bulls series. It will be a good series, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Mavs go back to Dallas 0-2.

[IndianaBasketballParticipant]

I can’t stand Miami. I’ve never liked Dallas. However… I haven’t been this excited about a Finals matchup in awhile. IF you’re an unbiased basketball fan, you’re excited about this matchup.

Homecourt advantage will be irrellivant in this series, since both teams have shown they can win on the road. Dallas beat the Blazers in Portland and the Thunder in Oklahoma City, which are arguably the two toughest places to play in the NBA.

This will be a great series and can go either way. I’m leaning towards Dallas though. They’re well coached and have shown they can make the right adjustments. Nowitzki is playing out of his mind and has been the MVP of the playoffs… I don’t think the Heat will have an answer for him. He isn’t the kind of superstar you can just load up on. They have a well balanced offense and the shooting to spread the Heat’s defense out and keep it on it’s heels. They play great team defense and keep the paint tight. And most importantly, they’re not going to give games away down the stretch with wasted offensive possessions. Dallas has a player who can close you out individually, but they also just close out well as a team. They rebound, get stops and get the shots they want offensively.

 as i said earlier,two best players in nba will eventually win a title..dirk can go nuts every game,but do you really expect the same from their second scorer terry( he may have 1-2 good games,but not the whole series because he isnt like that)… i expect wade to go rampage,finals mvp around 30 ppg,james 26 bosh solid 20 10…heat are just to good..i was the only guy who said after they lost first game to bulls that they are going to win next 4,people called me crazy,but whos crazy now biaatch….THROW YOUR SET UP…CK ALL DAY
