Miami Heat vs LA Lakers 2013 NBA Finals anyone?

In this corner, we have a team led by the greatest player on the planet, and arguably the best player in 20 years. He is accompanied by stars 7x all-star Chris Bosh, 2x NBA Champion Dwyane Wade, and let's not forget... the all-time leading scorer in 3's; Ray Allen!

In the opposite corner, we have a team led by veteran 5x NBA Champion Kobe Bryant, who is accompanied by crafty 2x MVP Steve Nash, 4x all-star Pau Gasol, and unarguably the best big man in today's game; Dwight Howard!

Oh man, that would crush TV ratings. Anywho, I'd pick the Heat in 7.

We need the SportsCenter music. And preseason doesn't matter(to me) so I don't care until regular season. Plus the Olympics are on so I watch that.

true
but the olympics are over tom
so after that im ganna watch football

GO TEXANS!

yah texans!!!

Miami Heat vs LA Lakers 2013 NBA Finals anyone?

nope
Boston Celtics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

If that really did happen, I don't know. Dwight Howard will have a strong presence in the paint. But the Heat's big big three will do their. That's hard to pick.

Boston Celtics vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

Nah, Celtics are getting pretty old, I'm not saying that they're bad, but can they keep up with a healthy Bulls team? Or the Heat?

And maybe Thunder. Westbrook just needs to be a better ball distributor.

I hate preseason so right now I'm focusing more on baseball and college football because I like that more than NFL anyways. but I can't wait till regular season.

not much ppl like the texans
id dont think the steelers would win
here are my op 5 teams i thik will win the superbowl:

5. ravens/saints-ravens have had a killer defense last year and with rice and flacco
Saints got drew bress who is now SUPER rich and wants to earn the money

4. packers-rodgers still on top but i don't expect much from him

3.Texans-schuab is back and as long as injures don't occur (which they already have) they should be good

2.49ers- got stopped right b4 the superbowl i expect smith to do good

1.Patriots-tom brady great QB and came close year

very much agreed
he will turn moreinto a hog than kobe

Not just that, he needs to play smarter. Take shots and set up his teammates at the same time. He has to know that Durant and Harden are there with him.

redskins

I agree. It's a very hard pick. I think it just may (if they do ultimately meet in the Finals) come down to who has home court advantage.

In LA's defense...

-Dwight would be an unstoppable force down low. Bosh couldn't keep up with him. And LeBron isn't big enough to be blocking him.
-With Nash at point and with his craftiness and decisive vision, he could do some damage. Especially with so many all-stars to pass it to.
-They have one of the greatest closers in the game of basketball in Kobe Bryant, if it ever came down to a last shot.

In Miami's defense...
-LBJ is LBJ. Simply put. He's the greatest player on the planet and he's the best all-around player that we've seen since MJ. He'll shut down whoever he's defending. Whether that's Kobe or Gasol, don't expect either to average 30+ a game if LBJ's on them.
-The addition of Ray Allen does wonders to this team. If LeBron plays point forward like he did against the Thunder and attracts double and triple teams, then kicks it out to Ray Allen, LA better look out.
-Both D-Wade and Bosh are going to be completely healthy (barring any setbacks throughout the season and playoffs). They both went into the Finals injured and beat the Thunder in 5. Of course, it helped to have LeBron on their team, but it still says wonders about this team.   

Again, it's tough.. but I'd pick Miami in 7.
