What does Bosh-less Heat mean to you guys?

Personally think assuming he is out that the Pacer-Heat series just got more competitive. If the Pacers utilize their size advantage they can take this series in 6/7 but the Heat won't go without a fight. If they should pass through and are still without Bosh I do not see them beating a Phily/Celts team and regardless of Bosh or No Bosh, do not see them beating Thunder
The pacers are a solid team. I underestimated them. They're not flashy, but they get the job done. Miami's gotta bring it tomorrow and D Wade's gotta show up. Scoring 5 points isn't gonna cut it.

Spurs will take the clips next game

Lakers might put up a fight but most likely will lose the series in the next 1 or 2 games to OKC (Laker fan but just being realistic)

Heat and pacers might just go the full 7 but I can see the heat taking it

Boston will wipe out 76ers next 2 games

Bostons taking game 7 unless sixers really bring it all

Spurs vs okc can really go both ways but im going to say the spurs since they really just been playing incredibly the whole time playoffs and regular season plus the chemistry they have as a team. Also now that there finally using there soon to be secret weapon (Kawhi Leonard) there going to be a really tough team to get by

Bosh spice is gone, the heat have had a couple years to find a big guy but never did and Ronny Turiaf or whoever they use isn't going to cut it for the playoffs that's going to hurt them and cost them some games, or possibly the championship. They might swing by Boston but whoever they play next OKC or SA they better be ready and make the shots when they matter most

Spurs vs OKC will be the best series in terms of raw basketball talent during the NBA playoffs imho. I really love watching both of these teams because they have so much class and respect for the game.

It will be really close battle between young/energetic talent vs older/knowledgable veterans, but I'm hoping the Spurs can pull off the win. Gregg Popovich & his coaching staff are producing some amazing basketball.

Ginobilli really stepped up in the first game of this series, but I felt the Spurs weren't playing to their best potential. Here's hoping for some improvement as we head into tonight's game. Go Spurs go!

The Spurs are something else. They remind me of the 2001 Lakers, just wrecking every team so confidently. How many in a row is that now?

20 wins in a row and counting! The Spurs are playing some amazing basketball. The next game will be tough though because it's in OKC.

Let's see if they can overcome the hometown advantage.

If the Spurs win it all this year, I feel it would solidify Tim's status as the best player of his generation. He'll have as many as Kobe without the constant criticism because there's nothing to criticize about Timmy.

i think tim duncan has already solidified his place as probably the most fundamentally sound player of his generation. he executes everything over and over again with perfection. i think he's probably the best power forward of all time, though i wouldn't pick him in my top 5 lineup in nba history because i'd probably go with a center at the pf position. i still think kobe will go down as the best player in his generation. kobe is almost 34 yet he puts up numbers that really no one else in the nba except durant puts up.
i think if the spurs win, greg popovich will solidify his place as probably the third most successful coach in nba history behind phil jackson and red auerbach. and greg popovich is already the coach of the most consistent team in sports period.
for shits and giggles, my top 5 in nba history lineup:
point- magic (cause at his size and power mixed with his ability to pass, matchup nightmare)
sg- mj (for obvious reasons and the girl hes with is a fpoa(fine piece of...)
sf- larry bird (for now but i think eventually this spot will go to kevin durant cause he will retire with probably the most scoring titles ever. 3 at age 23 is absurd)
pf- hakeem the dream (would be duncan if i had to pick a true pf but hakeem can shoot, post up, and is versatile enough as a defender to play pf)
c- shaq in his prime (cause hack a shaq was the only option and it still didn't stop him, just fucked his free throw percentage)

larry should be a lock there. kg has scoring titles and athleticism, but larry could do everything on the floor, not just score/rebound/block like what's expected of a forward. kg also never made his teammates better the way bird did.

Pop, if he wins the championship this year, will go down as the second best Coach in history behind P Jax. Red Auerbach is overrated. Back when he was around, there were only about 8 teams. Not difficult winning a championship when you only have 7 opponents and have Bill Russell.

OKC needs to mess up and let the spurs ahead nothing against them KD is one of the most humble and competitive players in the NBA imo just I don't feel OKC is there yet as a team to go up against Miami and actually win

The Spurs have the chemistry and experience to win it all and I just cant wait to see the fake three get there asses kicked by the ORIGINAL big 3

If a young OKC team can beat a thought to be unstoppable spurs team, who are still the unanimous favourites to win the championship, what makes you think they wouldn't be able to beat Miami?
