Miami Heat vs Oklahoma City Thunder
- Will the lack of experience help or hurt the young Thunder team? - Before this series started I said one of two things could happen: Either the Thunder can go into this not knowing any better or they could start making big mistakes that would cost them a few games. Well I guess I have to take the latter on this one. This may have been the one thing on a checklist that the Thunder could not check-off: Experience. Some will not use this excuse, but I don't think its no longer an excuse, its a reason....well THE reason the Thunder lost in the NBA Finals.
- Will last year's collapse against Dallas be enough for help the Heat win their 2nd Championship? - Well during their post-game celebration, everyone who played on this team all mentioned how embarrassed, disappointed and hurt they all were last season after the Mavs beat them for the championship. Last year's NBA Final helped the Heat in the sense that they learned from their miscues from that Finals and implied them to this year's Finals, thus being able to win it when it counts.
- Which Big 3 will control this series: Wade, James and Bosh or Westbrook, Durant, and Harden? - Clearly the Big 3 of the Heat played the Big 3 of the Thunder as a whole throughout this series. For the Thunder, everyone didn't show up at the same time when counted the most. Someone needed to put a missing person report on James Harden simply because he did not show up for the majority of this series. Consistency was huge for the Heat big 3, thus this is why they are champions.
- Which team will benefit the most from the 2-3-2 format in this series? - Well this is the 3rd time that the home team has swept the middle 3 games in this format. Of course, each team who's done this has won the championship. The Heat has done it twice 2006 & 2012 and the Pistons in 2004.
Next Up: The NBA Draft, Olympics, and the Off-season. Congratulations to the 2012 NBA Champions Miami Heat
