4 Quarters - NBA Finals: Heat vs Thunder

Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder

1. Will the lack of experience help or hurt the young Thunder team? - Well two things can happen with this question: 1.) the inexperience could be helpful for a young team like this because they don't know any better and thus will go into this as if "hey, we'll just do our thang" or 2.) the inexperience could undo this team to the point in which they start beating themselves and making way too many mistakes that will cost them a game or two in this series. 
2. Will last year's collapse against Dallas be enough for help the Heat win their 2nd Championship? - For the Heat, this could be the breakthrough they we're looking for. Unlike playing a team last season in the Dallas Mavs, who we're experienced enough when it came to playing the Finals. They will play a very inexperienced, young Thunder team that could just collapse under the pressure of the Finals, as did this Heat team did last year.
3. Which Big 3 will control this series: Wade, James and Bosh or Westbrook, Durant, and Harden? - This will be the biggest challenge that either Big 3 as faced thus far. Miami's 3 vs OKC's 3. This just turned into a 3-on-3 tournament. Miami's 3 would have an edge simply because those 3 have been here to this stage before. OKC's 3, is younger, much more confident than in year's past and this could be their time! This could turn into a new rivarly of sorts, considering that both teams will be together for least one more season after this year. I would have to say that Miami's 3 should feel a little confident about this match-up. But don't let it turn into a clutch shot fest, or OKC's 3 may have something to say on that.
4. Which team will benefit the most from the 2-3-2 format in this series? - This is the most confusing, yet compelling part of the post-season. The 2-3-2. The middle 3 games is the pretty much the series. In 27 years, only 2 teams have swept the middle home 3 games (04 Pistons and 06 Heat). Both teams won the championship as well. Some would have a feeling that this Heat club could do the same feat, but history says other wise. History could be the reason why the Thunder could be saved in this series and may have a real shot at winning this because of this format.

X-Factors: Lebron James and Kevin Durant.

Lets face it, this is only match-up of all in this series that truly matters. Scoring Champion vs the MVP. Both guys could really cement their legacy as big time historical players by winning a championship. For James, this is his 3rd shot at getting that championship. Some would say that this is James best shot at becoming a champion, so he'd better not drop the ball this time.

As for Durant, this is his first of possible many times making it to the NBA's big stage. So not too much pressure is on him to win, but then again he may not want that much pressure on his shoulders, so why not win one now and get it out the way. Whom ever can overcome the pressure of this stage and deliver the big time shots and big plays needed for their teams to be victorious, will be the one who walks away from this champions.

Series Prediction: This is very hard for me to choose, but I'll take Thunder in 6.
