They've surprised me man. Gotta respect what they've been able to do this year when most people (myself included) had all but written them off before this season started. Especially considering the condensed season. I believe I had them not making the playoffs.

Miami is going to shit themselves in the playoffs. When a team plays on cruise control all season, no matter how talented they are, they won't be able to turn it on enough for when it really counts.

That looks about right to me. The Celtics now appear to be the closest to Miami's prime competition in the East with the Bulls injured and out.

While a golden opportunity is knocking big time for the Heat, guess what? The NBA Champion once again comes from the Western Conference. I don't think ABC will be too thrilled, but the Thunder or Spurs are going to hoist the Larry O'Brien Trophy in June.

Why the fuck do you keep implying that ABC will have a problem with who wins the NBA Title? The same number of people will watch the Finals regardless.

so you have 4-5 teams every year with a legit shot at winning. You would think this would not be in the interest of the league.

I believe that isn't true.

OKC, I'm not making this up. If it's not Heat/Lakers or Celtics/Lakers in the Finals, viewers won't watch. They stayed away in droves when the Spurs schooled LeBron's Cavaliers in 2007. Look it up!

I'll agree to disagree Peeps.

Miami vs. anybody will draw a good number in the Finals.

Actually, you kinda are making it up. You had to go back 5 years to try to prove your point.

And last year, neither the Lakers nor the Celtics were in the Finals and it was the second highest rated Finals since 2004.

No, they won't. Despite constant camera shots of Eva Longoria from "Desperate Housewives", married at the time to the Spurs' Tony Parker, viewers stayed away in droves when San Antonio schooled Cleveland. I'm not making this up!

ABC has been hoping for a Kobe vs. LeBron final since they got back in the NBA biz. This dates back to when LeBron was in Cleveland, of course. I'm telling you right now...The CASUAL FAN won't watch the Spurs or Thunder should they end up in the Finals. The CASUAL FAN that doesn't watch the NBA everyday will pass if it's not Kobe or LeBron in the Finals.

You keep saying "ABC wants". Who in ABC are you referring to and what specifically are you basing that on? You can't just make statements like that without having something to back it up with.

That's just like the "Team X has a mental edge over Team Y" argument. That's kinda just saying stuff to say stuff.

Thunder Vs. Heat would be a great finals matchup and ratings draw.

C'mon SHARK.

It might be a great Finals matchup, I'll admit. I'm not sure the CASUAL FAN will watch.
