Who will win the nba championship 2012??

[nba2k13]

I'd rather okc win can't let lebitch get a ring

lol i feel ya, is always a drama or fun to see the aftermath after lebron lost in the playoffs, but i doubt he will choke in this finals like last year, but i think the difference will be Ibaka wit his help defense and blocks & the bench of course, but if heat wanna win, bosh has to step up and give them like 18 ppg

I don't know if okc will be good enough to beat Miami but I hope so

hope is a 7 game series, u know even thought i hate lakers i would luv to see them next yr vs heat in the finals

[nba2k13]

or bulls vs lakers in the finals for 2013

[H.O.V.A.]

OKC in game 7: Simply put, OKC has way to many weapons out on the floor. With Miami everyone is pretty streaky from behind the arc, bar Chalmers, Battier and (apparently) Bosh. With OKC you have Durant, Fisher, Harden, Westbrook, Thabo... Of course Miami's gonna play lockdown defense, but it's gonna be hard since everyone on the Thunder is able to score consistently. I also feel that Durant is more focused than Lebron, who seemed passive about the playoffs until game 6 when he went crazy. Both teams complement each other very well, and I can't wait to see this go down on Tuesday.

I can't see the Bulls getting to the finals next year mainly because Derrick Rose is supposed to be out for most of the season. I think Miami's pretty much got it locked in the east next year provided they keep their role players and trade their garbage ones (like Mike Miller, last night there were too many instances where he was wide open from 3 point range and he just couldn't capitalize on it. He's gotta go).

This series is likely going to go the distance. It's kind of funny though, people (specifically Stephen A. Smith) thinking the Thunder are just going to steamroll over the Heat. Last I checked, the best players on the Heat actually have Finals experience (& a former Finals MVP). None of the best players on the Thunder have any (Derek Fisher & Kendrick Perkins obviously aren't part of this group, lol). We'll see if they can keep their high play up. What I don't want to see though, is any damn flopping. Leave that shit alone. And the referees need to (somewhat) swallow their whistles. I don't want a back and forth free throw shooting fest. Let these 2 teams, that love to run, actually RUN. Get ready for some exciting basketball either way, I know I can't wait for Game 1.

I really hope people are joking when they say that this will over in 4 games. I don't think Finals experience will be too big of an issue for the Thunder. Playing veteran teams (including the "invincible" Spurs) will give them the confidence that they'll need to go for the gold. Miami's also known to flop a lot (as a collective whole) so you may be disappointed lol.

What's really hilarious though is that James Harden is just 22 years old and none of the guys on the Heat have perfected it like he has. His position should be Guard/Flopper. I can't wait until the league starts fining/suspending/handing out technicals for that crap. Every team has done it, and it needs to stop.

mario chalmers is a big flopper and derek fisher is also 1 but he a better actor on the picks he always floppin

He picked up some tricks from Ginobili. The student has surpassed the master But yes, I would be more than happy to see flopping be properly dealt with.

My favorite flopping moment from the Heat has to be from Chris Bosh last year.

^^ This is the better version.

Harden causing a technical to be called on Chandler at last year's Western Conference Finals.

One thing is selling a legitimate hit, another thing is 0 contact and crumbling to the floor as if your heart stopped. I can't stand it. I'm honestly not surprised that there's flopping though. Fouls get called if you so much as breathe on another player. The NBA has been soft for years. I think that the "Malice at the Palace" back then with Artest made the NBA what it is today. Shit is seriously marshmallow soft. I miss the 90s NBA. Getting physical is almost impossible in today's game without a flagrant being given.

Congrats to the refs on a hard fought game. The Heat are no match for them.

[BayAreasFinest]

Very happy that the heat lost!!
