This is the matchup we all wanted to see. Miami Heat vs. OKC Thunder. LeBron vs. Durant. I think this will be a great Finals. That being said, the clear favorite for this Finals is the OKC Thunder. They have been on a tear out west, have had a few days off, have the better coach, and have homecourt advantage. At times the Thunder look unstoppable, and I think this Finals is theirs to lose. Despite that, I'm gonna take the UNDERDOG Heat to win this one in 6 great games. The Heat's only chance is if LeBron, Wade, & Bosh bring their A games and get consistent contributions from the Heat supporting cast of Battier, Miller, and Chalmers. LeBron haters shouldnt expect a bad Finals from him this go round, he's been dominating all playoffs and has no excuses this year. I cant wait for this one to tip off Tuesday night in OKC!

If Im Durant and the Thunder Im nervous as hell SNO is picking me to win after being so sure Boston would beat Miami. Dude is always wrong. LOL

Not all the time. I predicted Carolina to pick Cam Newton #1 back in October of '10. I was ran off this board as a joke. Hindsight is a bitch.

You should ditch the Bobcats avatar. You are the biggest LeBron/Heat fanboy I've ever seen. And they are divisional rivals of Charlotte.

You really thought old ass Boston could stop LeBron, jokes on you.. LeBron broke up the Big 3 in Boston. Theyll never play together again thanks to him.

Talk is cheap. Garnett, Pierce, Allen, & Rondo are world champions. LeBron is just another Malone.

    • Agreed on the last part. They can’t afford to lose all these games with Martin and Perets. 
    • Yes.  And this converts directly to confidence.  Does the coach have confidence to call a deep dig or seam route?  Does Bryce have confidence in his ability to be the Alpha?  Do his teammates have confidence.  About film--when I see Cam Newton's pre-snap confidence vs. Bryce's, it is night and day.   Film--tells you if the WRs are open (why l love watching the Replay telecasts from the end zone cameras--you can see it.  I have seen 2 WRs open and Bryce's eyes are on the outlet WR or the pass rush. )  You can see progressions, and he has improved a bit--but he is very quick to rush through 1 and 2 and checkdown--that is a lack of confidence in his ability to read the defense.  I had a former NFL TE (Deems Maye) who played QB in high school (not sure about college) tell me that the best QBs read the defense by knowing where everyone will be when the ball is to arrive--not where they are.  I think his QB at the time was Humphries.  He said that Humphries would throw the ball into coverage before the cuts etc.  because he understood DB momentum, zone areas, etc.  and he could just see it.  Said so when people say nobody was open, they are usually right because nobody should be "open" when the QB has the ball--when the ball arrives, everyone should be open.  He said Humphries was never "great" but his skills were limited--from a small school--but his ability to read a defense made him never give up on a route.
