I don't care about that I'm simply carrying on the stereotype!
It's just Duncan, as long as he is the main figure, his age will equal the team average
No way the Spurs will be favs.
Not sure why you're so keen for the Heat to lose the favourite tag. But they are under $1.50 to win the Chip I think.
Heat also have home court advantage which is massive.
If the Heat get through Indy like they should, I think it's still the Heats to lose.

It's more to do with how the Spurs have cruised past the Lakers, adjusted to a high octane Warriors team, readjusted to a physical and big Memphis team and seem to be reaching their stride and peaking at the right moment, and they've now got extended time to rest and get healthy and study game film. Mind you, Ginobili hasn't been stellar but the balance and contributions from everyone else has negated his poor play. Now, flip over to Miami. They struggled a initially with the Bulls and they have struggled in the first two games with the Pacers before turning it on in G3. Their bench play hasn't been consistent, their 3 point shooting has been off, Wade doesn't appear to be healthy and doesn't get to the free throw line at all and his numbers are way down from the regular season, their size and rebounding is still a big question mark and they just haven't played well all in all. If you ask me, I would be looking at the Spurs as favorites when you look at where things are right now.

I am not gonna fall into the trap of commenting on any guys looks (thats just the way I roll), but I did want to clarify that Howard has been playing (or cheerleading as you put it) for the Leagues Veterans Minimum Wage for the last 3 years, and this year inparticular, he has been gaining experience sitting on the bench playing the role of Assistant Coach, which will be his job description come next season. And while T Mac can suit up, he has about as much chance of getting in the game as Howard does, and Howard is actually dressed in a SUIT.
It was a tongue in cheek comment obviously comparing juwan to the Miami Heat dancers (which any normal male would attest to them being more aesthetically pleasing than another hairy man, not Juwan in particular). Anyway, the Heat obviously valued his intangible leadership qualities off the court more than what his game is right now as evidenced by the grand total of 7 games he's appeared in this season. Obviously, you being a Fab 5 fan you felt the need to defend him and that's cool with me.
All valid points but you're dreaming if the Spurs should be favourites.
The Lakers were garbage without Kobe and showed they had no heart without him, couldn't even make 1 game tight.
GS were a different match up for the Spurs.
Memphis has been tough even though a sweep never represents that.
On the other side, Miami have cruised and have only flexed their muscle when they've lost a game.
Spurs have played their hardest night in and out.
Heat are still in 2nd gear and will be very short favourites.
And yes people, Home court is still a big deal even with the format. You go up 2 - 0 and it's pretty much over.
I'm hopinh for a great series. Lots of interesting match ups.
LOL Coach Vogel must be having fits...subs out Hibbert for Augustin on the last play of 2nd quarter and what does Lebron do? Makes a layup. Hilarious.
Miami shooting 39 percent, Indiana at 50 percent, being outrebounded (as usual) and Miami is down only 1 at the break? I'll take any day, every day of the week.
