[bksballer89]

Thunder and heat

Spurs vs Heat
Spurs vs Pacers
OKC vs Heat
OKC vs Pacers

I'm going with Spurs vs Pacers.

Though I may wish it otherwise my best guess is Heat and Thunder: Heat can just play too well for how the Pacers are currently playing and the Thunder seem to be the Spurs kryptonite. And if Parker is not going 100%....

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

Pacers and Thunder!

 

[trojanfan12]

Spurs/Heat

 

[BOTSLAYER]

OKC in 5 vs MIA in 5-7 depending on refs

MIA in 6 over OKC

Nice and simple, four options

Spurs vs Heat
Spurs vs Pacers
OKC vs Heat
OKC vs Pacers

I'm going with Spurs vs Pacers.

Really tough call.

East...Pacers are finally back to a redemption point...imo they are deeper (should be more motivated) than the Heat...I like IND also.

West...I thought OKC beat a more talented team in LAC...I'm going with them in vs SA. That is going against my better judgement, but for some reason I think OKC comes out on top.

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Serge Ibaka's injury might be something too. He creates a ton of problems for SA.

 

[Shaqdaddy11]

The main factor, for me in the SA v OKC series:

 

[boogiewithstu2007]

Spurs vs Miami .... Rematch

 

[TurnUpTheHeat]

Heat over Pacers in a very tight 6 game series.
Spurs over Thunder in 7.

 

[gordontrue]

Spurs Pacers would be so freaking boring. The Spurs matchup even better with the Pacers than they did the Blazers and games would get ugly fast.... to say nothing of the lack of star power.

All 3 of the other teams are on missions to revenge a recent series-loss to the Heat.

SA vs IND would be like watching paint dry, maybe worse. IND might score 70 a game and SA would go into the 80s every night.

THAT is pretty cool. I also think that is to the advantage of MIA*, when they are comfortable with a team the take care of business.

*The advantage is to OKC because it couldn't possibly be worse than their 1st encounter.


MIA also will not have HCA for the rest of the playoffs.

[Wishbone]

The main factor, for me in the SA v OKC series:

Yeah but he's lost 10 of his last 12 vs. Okc.

 

[Shanemansj13]

Spurs/Heat rematch.

SA-OKC. SA in 7

MIA-IND- MIA in 6

 

[Shanemansj13]

Heat over Pacers in a very tight 6 game series.
Spurs over Thunder in 7.

We hae same prediction. I think the Thunder have a better shot at winning than Indiana, obviously.

But it is actually a better matchup if Miami plays OKC than SA

Spurs vs Heat

I'm going with Spurs vs Pacers.

You are hoping, you mean.

 

[HizzleRocker]

At the beginning of the season, I picked OKC vs Indy - with OKC winning. Have to stick with it now.
