Stephen A Smith "OKC in 6"

[50inchvertical]

I hate the 2-3-2 format. I always felt like it favors the underdog team and puts the home team under immense pressure to hold homecourt in the first 2.

[TheNaturalWR]

If Bosh is completely healthy and ready to start, Heat in 6.

[TMT]

He's spot on.

[shady6121]

tbh, it's a win-win situation for Miami, if they win the Finals then they've accomplished their goal, if they lose they can get rid of Spoelstra and hopefully go after Jerry Sloan.

[All Net]

Thats my prediction too, Obviously Bosh will need to play well and at least match Harden's production and get something out of the role players.

Durant is the only guy who can match Lebron point for point which is a problem for Miami as normally Lebron stands out and produces more than the other teams best player which gives Miami an edge.

I agree with the prediction. OKC is a VERY difficult arena to play in, will probably get as many free throws as the Heat, and I just don't see Miami sweeping their home games. Also, the Thunder are deeper, wouldn't run out of gas like the Celtics did at the end, and Durant's probably the best closer in the game right now. Sure, LeBron was great in game 6 and the end of game 7 but those are two of the very few times he's come up big in pressure situations since joining the Heat when it mattered.

One thing going against the Heat is that they're only going to have a two day rest before the finals start, while OKC will be pretty much completely fresh.

I don't give a shit what any expert says, especially Stephen A Smith, He said the Celtics were going to close it out in Game 6 even though he wanted the Heat to win. Just stupid with the predictions already and let the game be played.

Everybody knows that he's pretty tight with the Heat players. He's been pulling for the Heat all along and pretends to predict that the other team will win as an attempt to rile up the Heat (as in the case with game 6 in the Celts series).

2-3-2 format. Miami wins game 1, loses game 2. Miami wins game 3 and 4, loses 5, wins game 6. Lebron wins his first ring. Book it.

you think miami's going to win 2 in okc and the 2nd one being the series clincher ? tough task there I don't know .. I think they need to steal one in okc and take care of business at home

[HylianNightmare]

i hope so

SAS was at the game 6 in OKC. I didn't see him in the media panel so I think he just bought his tickets and went as a fan of basketball

[Vienceslav]

All the prediction are useless in this case , no precedent set.
