Stay Tuned for Game 7...

Reasons why I think the Heat will win tonight:
  1. Birdman is back. The Heat missed him last game, and with their secondary players (not LeBron) struggling to score, they need Chris Andersen. Sad.
  2. LeBron's supporting cast will play better. In the last game, LeBron made 10 shots and the rest of the team made 16. Either Allen or Battier will start making shots, or Wade will come back to life.
  3. The TV ratings for a Pacers-Spurs Finals matchup would be quite low. Remember how everyone complained about the Pistons-Spurs in 2005 (well, everyone outside of Michigan and Texas)? This would be worse. And it's a shame, because the Pacers are a REALLY good team. Expect a fair few questionable fouls called if Indiana has a late edge. Remember this?
Reasons why Indian might win:
  1. Dwyane Wade is DONE. He's shooting .403/.333/.739 the last 5 games, averaging 13, 4 & 5. Bosh looks DONE. Worse than Wade, he's shooting .378/.538/.833, averaging 10 & 4 the last 5 games. WHAT?
  2. Indiana isn't scared of Miami, and they aren't scared of playing there. Really this series should be over already with Indiana getting ready for San Antonio, but Miami stole game 1 with that crazy layup by LeBron in OT.
  3. The NBA is no longer able to pull a snow-job like they did in the 2002 WCF with the Lakers and the Kings. Everyone was suspicious at the time, but the Donaghey thing woke everyone up.
I think this goes to Miami, that LeBron gets a little help from his friends and a little from the refs. Not '02 WCF Game 6 help, but maybe '06 Finals Beno Salvatore help.
