Wow... he might win one this year, but in my opinion, and with their current cast, the Heat will struggle to win multiple championships. Everybody would struggle to win multiple championships, and even the best team in basketball (86' Celtics) didn't win multiple times.

Injuries are part of the game. Refs is another important thing, just ask Jordan and his special treatment. Right now, everything is going the Heat's way, and they're playing better than they used to. You can see the effort, give them credit (ok, not to the Hamster, who in just two years has reached Kobe-like status in my mind).

And by the way, they are 2-1, they haven't won the championship yet. If OKC stops playing the stupid iso, and goes back to what made them beat the Spurs, there's no guarantee LeBron, Bosh and the punks and scrubs who team up with them win nothing.

Give credit to LeBron, he's tried to improve although the refs have always handed to him. With a fair treatment, he'd have been forced to really evolve as a complete basketball player in less time, so he could be kind of a Magic Johnson. He's that talented. Hopefully Durant works harder than him and tries to add more to his game. He's the best one-on-one, but he should try to play team ball. Last game was ugly to watch in the 4th, when they were forcing the iso play even when they weren't going to get any call.

Beat the Heat!

Teams that go up 3-1 have yet to lose an NBA Finals series. Game 4 is huge. Thunder Up!

They would be sitting at home and losing two games in these finals without the refs.  If they win they ought to have a asterisk next to their title and not because of the shortened season.

Lebron James is better than Kevin Durant, and it isn't close right now.  Sure five years from now it probably will be different, but I'm not ready to even put Durant in the discussion until he passes, rebounds, and defends on a level that is at least close to James.  Right now Durant is no where near the all around player that James is.

Durant is the leading rebounder at the SF position in the league?  How can you say that he's not at LeBron's level as a rebounder?

Durant is a better rebounder and scorer, and is a way better shooter.  He's also a better crunch time guy.  LeBron is a way better passer and a much better defender, although Durant is coming along in both areas.   
In the last two games, Durant has had 9 rebounds and 1 assists TOTAL.  Even in game 1, he only had 8 and 4.  Durant is a great scorer, but his all around game isn't measuring up.  And I know Durant was a respectable rebounder in the regular season, but he is 6'11" and matched up against much smaller players most of the time, come the finals, he has someone of similar size against him and his lack of rebounding technique and instincts are exposed. 
2025 Historical Draft - Cleveland Cavaliers - 1st pick

Starters - Luka, JB, Lebron, Wemby, Shaq
Rotation - D. Daniels, Mitchell, G. Wallace, Melo, Noah
Deep Bench - Korver, Turner

  I think he'd better win this one because Miami isn't going to get a better shot.  Wade seems to be slipping some and Bosh is overrated and seems to be becoming more injury prone.  The supporting cast is mediocre.  Miami wont have a way to improve their team unless they break those three up.  Those three still don't fit very well together and struggle to score in the half court.  As they age they wont get into the open court as often so if they don't figure out something in the half court they will struggle as they get older IMO.

  What allowed our Celtic's to stay relevant well past the originally forecast 3 year window is the development of Rondo into a star and the fact hat our Big Three's games meshed together exceptionally well.   They excelled in the half court which Miami probably wont ever do.   Age catches up to everyone and once it does playing run and gun wont work for them.  Riley probably wont find a player that can make the kind of impact Rondo has in the late first round because you just don't normally find All-Stars drafting late in the first round.

Deep down we all know it. He's just too good not to.

We all know what? That he's good? Of course he is. Winning 3 or 4 titles is where u need to pump your breaks. The jury is still out on Lebron James and the Miami Heat. I do believe Lebron, will win this year especially at the level he's playing at. And though the Thunder, are great they're starting unit is too inexperience.

I saw too many mistakes made in games 2 and 3 that a veteran team wouldn't. OKC should of won game 2, to get 2-0 lead, especially going into Miami. Lebron, winning 3 or 4, probably not, because we don't know what the make up of the east will like after this season and years to come.
