Wouldn't Miami be on the list of teams the NBA wants to win?

I think Bulls-Thunder would be a good Finals series. Durant v Rose, plus all their young teammates. A changing of the guard.

I agree that would be a good Finals for the fans, I think NBA would prefer Dallas vs Heat, which is what I am going with at this point but I would prefer yours.

So, the final four is now set. The Finals will be one of the following:

Heat-Mavericks
Heat-Thunder
Bulls-Mavericks
Bulls-Thunder

All pretty attractive matchups, if you ask me.

I like Heat Thunder. I mostly like the Heat out of the East just to stick it to the haters.

kenyan_cheena · 05-15-2011, 11:31 PM

Wow, Bulls schooled Miami in game one, 103-82. And after it was tied at half time.

Cooleyvol · 05-15-2011, 11:34 PM

I'm not sure a less appealing 'final four' for me exists.

Got to agree with you. Young guns all the way.

Taj Gibson had a couple throwdowns last night!

Don't know why, but a part of me would love to see the Heat lose in 4 to the Bulls. Fire their coach, hire Phil Jackson and win 3 or more rings from next year on.

jaxmagicman · 05-19-2011, 12:16 PM

Bulls didn't win in 4. And now don't have HC Advantage any more.

kenyan_cheena · 05-24-2011, 01:09 AM

Wow, Mavericks trailed 99-84 with five to play but finished the 4th on a 17-2 run to force overtime, where it looks like they're going to win. Yep, a crushing defeat for the Thunder, 112-105.

By the way, what's the deal with Kevin Durant's backpack? The guy looks like he's on his way to grade school.

rudel.dietrich · 05-24-2011, 01:52 AM

The foul on Nowitzki that tied the game was a bit suspect. Usually the referees are hesitant to call fouls in the last minute of the game unless it is latent. And that was hardly blatant.

kenyan_cheena · 05-25-2011, 12:37 AM

Another game goes into OT. Miami wins 101-93 to take a 3-1 lead, moving us one step closer to a Dallas-Miami rematch.

pat · 05-25-2011, 06:29 AM

That would be a nice rematch. =)

kenyan_cheena · 05-26-2011, 02:21 AM

Mavericks into the Finals with a 100-96 win in game five. Once again they were trailing midway through the 4th but went on a 14-4 run to finish off the Thunder.

rudel.dietrich · 05-27-2011, 12:19 AM

Mavericks do not have a chance.

Yep, it'll be like Superman vs General Zod and his two chronies, only Superman won't be as powerful.

kenyan_cheena · 06-01-2011, 12:49 AM

Heat wins game one 92-84. Weird stat: LBJ, D-Wade and Bosh combined for 65 points, Miami's other two starters Anthony and Bibby both scored 0.
