I predicted OKC from the start of the playoffs, and I'll stick with them as well.
However, I did say a few things going against OKC: if Miami wins it'll be because Lebron/Dwade put up HUGE #s. They have been, and to boot, as I said before, Lebron James focus/demeanor is entirely changed. Its almost as if hes a new player with this focus/determination. This is the player he should be, and the player the world laments him for not having been for so long.
If Miami wins it will be because of him.
But I think the young guns will load up and make it crazy. As long as the Thunder can maintain their composure they will do well. They have SO MANY offensive weapons (basically the entire team) its insane. One negative as I said from the start IS their youth. While their youthfulness is a huge positive, it also has drawbacks. They have less experience in the league, and when they get frustrated they dont turn it up, they make careless stupid plays.
Plus they get into foul trouble EARLY as a result, meaning their stars (KD, Westbrook, etc) cannot play as tight on Defense going into the end stretch, as well as make critical fouls then (when they SHOULD BE DOING SO!). INDIVIDUAL foul trouble aside, for your team to have no fouls to give going into the 4th quarter, means you cant take away critical layups.
If they keep their cool, its all breezy baby.
