Dirk wasnt playing the level he was last year. Did you forget that the Heat faced Melo and Rondo..
Cmon man, Youre going to go with the 'size' argument witht the Lakers Pau and Bynum?? Lets see then...
Knicks: Def POY Tyson Chandler and Amare. Result?
Pacers: Roy Hibbert and David West. Result?
OKC: Serge Ibaka, Kendrick Perkins and Kevin Durant. Result?
Dont think the heat have had any problems going up against size...
"Celtics were banged up"?? Who?? Ray Allen? What about not having Bosh for the first few games...
These so called 'championship teams' are not the same when you lose key players.
Ha ha The Knicks just won their first playoff GAME in over a decade. If the Knicks are so amazing, how did they finish 7th IN THE EAST!!!
Pacers = average. Good young team on the rise though. Making up the numbers and overachieved this season.
Celts missed Avery Bradley BADLY, you know, the guy that kept Allen out of the starting lineup. They even missed what Wilcox and O'neal gave them.
Ibaka and Perkins are not Bynum and Gasol. Perkins has been found out massively this series.
Totally agree, Bosh not being there was a huge loss. It showed that everyone calling them the big 2 and a 1/2 were wrong.
I'd love to see the Heat go through the teams that OKC went through. Would be interesting.
At the end of the day, The Heat won the Finals. Of course they deserve the title. I just thought OKC deserved it more with the teams they had to go through.
Congrats to the Heat. Great team building there. Different guys stepping up finally to help out the big 3. That's how you win rings. This team is scary.
If OKC could go out and get anyone, I think they should get Steve Nash. He'll help them alot and could mentor Westbrook.
