No, Stoney. Let's stop pretending the Pacers will be able to beat the Heat. Heat just beat the best team record wise in the East since January in five games. The Heat may be flawed but they step up. The Pacers are shook and look legit awful. Heat in 5. If it goes to seven games I will ice my dick for an entire day.
I'll be highly shocked if the Heat beat the Pacers in 5. The evidence doesn't suggest that is likely. I expect 6 or 7 whoever wins.
I think the Wiz need a better coach. I was legit impressed with them in this post-season. But their offense just goes stretches where they seem lost. And they seem to be too talented for that to be the case.
The conference finals expose the truth of the regular season grind it is.
We all knew the Thunder, the Heat, The Spurs, and the Pacers were the 4 best teams by a good distance at the beginning of the year. It just took us this long for it to mean anything.
Not sure about the Spurs versus the Thunder. On one hand the Spurs look so fucking good at the moment. But then Westbrook and Durant are just so good.
I think the Thunder will overcome the Spurs. I think the first game of the Heat/Pacers may tell the tale of that story. The Heat don't have to win it. But they better play"right". Imo they did not play "right" versus the Nets no matter what the series count was. I don't think they will be able to win the series versus the Pacers by just playing the last 4 minutes of the game well.
