3 scenarios... Who will Heat play if make Finals and who.do.they stand a better chance against?
Scenario 1... Spurs vs. Heat, SA have homecourt... Spurs are hot, deep and seem.to be the best team at the moment, sure. Heat the better players but Spurs have the better team.and no.shortage of ammo on the bench which Heat lack... Way I see it
Post - Spurs.... SF/SG position Heat have the advantage... PG Spurs Parker no contest... Bench, Spurs easily... If u were LeBron or D-Wade.do u wish to.draw Spurs?
Scenario 2... Oklahoma City Thunder.... Again Heat will forfeit homecourt... Terms of stars, both.are evenly matched, key to series is STOPs and luck...
C - Perkins vs. Bosh... Perkins will be in more for defensive prencense, ud think Ibaka will play on Bosh however I give Heat.slight advantage as have more to offer on offense, but Thunder on D
SF - Durant vs. LeBron.. Good battle, slightest advantage to KD
SG -.D-Wade ud think has this position covered but will be interesting if Thunder can limit his scoring
PG - Westbrook hands down...
If I was Heat.coaches, id think better chance of.knocking off Thundet, but no gaurantee
Scenario 3 - Lakers... Watch out if Lakers.survive as there post court will be a major factor... Bynum & Gasol could prove too much to handle
C - Bynum vs. Bosh... Bynum too big & strong, better inside
PF - Gasol vs. Haslem... GASOL
SF.- LeBron vs. MWP... MWP will just be in to limit JBL.production
SG - Kobe vs. DW... Kobe wins not easy though
PG - Sessions vs. Charlmers... Sessions just
Bench - Even
Question.. If your.Heat, who.would u rather face?..
Question 2 - Will they win.against the surviving West team?
I think.Lakers will get through, poss 4-2 Lakers

I'll tell you this, Spurs is going to the west finals, and between OKC and Lakers, I don't know, if Lakers win, they can and will beat the spurs in the finals ( and i'm a spurs fan), but if OKC wins, i am 100% sure spurs will beat easily 4-2 or 4-1.
either way, OKC ain't going to the finals.
Lakers-Miami : I predict Lakers 4-3.
Spurs-Miami : I honestly don't know,Spurs have home court advantage, so I will pick them as well, 4-2.
The two things that bother Miami the most are good point guards that can take advantage of Miami's point guards and big men who can score on the inferior Miami big men as well as protect the basket from Miami's drive to the basket offense.
The worst matchup for Miami is Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City is just as athletic as Miami. Westbrook would torment Miami's point guards, breaking down their defense at will. OKC also has one of the few scoring superstars that has the ability to go bucket for bucket with Lebron and Wade. OKC has GREAT defense, especially down low guarding the him. Miami loves to drive, Thefolosha and Westbrook are both good defenders and then Ibaka and Perkins coming with help defense, that would make things real difficult for Miami.
The Lakers are not as difficult a matchup although they still have what it takes to beat the Heat. Two of the leagues top 5 big men along with Kobe Bryant. The Lakers Defense and depth is not as good as OKC but they have the superstars that give them the ability to beat anyone.
The best matchup for Miami is San Antonio. The Spurs don't have the athletic big men to take advantage of the Miami big men (Duncan is just too old to put up 30-20 nights for a whole series) and San Antonio does not play good defense at the basket. The Spurs have the best coach in the league and home court but I think Miami would roll them.
Frankly I think Miami is going to beat whoever they play but OKC would give them a tough tough series.
I definately think of it is going to finally end up being Lakers vs warmth interior the Finals question a million-the warmth will stay on the East in 6 question 2-i might say the two the Lakers or Spurs question 3-LeBron gets his first ring this 3 hundred and sixty 5 days question 4-confident i do and that i might particularly prefer to work out Lakers vs warmth Finals matchup
If i was the Heat, i would want OKC they are like equals except Heats big 3 is better and more expierenced
Lakers got a scarey big 3 that live inside...while the Heat have problems at the center spot
Spurs extremely deep... their bench could score the same ammount as the starters
Honestly heat could beat all 3 of those. Lakers would honestly be the easiest because they have no bench threat. And big 3 is proven against the Lakers, they are what 3-0 against the lakers? Last time they lost bosh didnt play and it was a close game. lakers size is overrated, maybe if they still had odom but gasol and bynum have no subs and dont always do good plus they are SLOW. Heat win.
Spurs are the easiest and that is by far, without a question, a guarantee. Miami is a young team and Spurs won't keep up with them.
Question 2: Yes. As for L.A. being dangerous for Miami, no way. There is no one on that team that has stopped LeBron and Bynum/Gasol are going to have their hands full trying to stop him.
I have Miami vs OKC though.
