TNT commentator Reggie Miller was prescient in saying that the Miami team has become the Cavaliers. With Bosh neutralized and thoroughly outplayed and Wade not at full strength the Miami Big 3 has been reduced to the Big 1 - LeBron James.
We've seen a LeBron team in the Finals already with no help - San Antonio swept them in 2007.
Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4......you know the rest from King James on "The Decision".

Damn...you stole my thunder...I was about to start a thread wid the same title
Ray it's the Heat who stole a Thunder.... OK.....C..ee
Miami as constructed the last 3 years have not matched up well with teams with a talented big front line. The Pacers still have it in them to throw the ball away enough times to allow Miami to sneak a Game 7 victory.
The Spurs may not have talented a front line as the Pacers, but Duncan and the under-rated Tiago Splitter can give the Heat problems if they meet in the Finals. Spurs though have what the Pacers don't - Parker who is playing out of his mind and Ginobli who, like Duncan, grows old like good wine - they get better. The Pacers NEED their front line to compendsate for Hill and Stephenson and a short bench. The Spurs have a deeper staring 5 and a deep bench.
But back to the Heat. Ii really feel for LeBron as he finds himself back in the Cleveland mode - he said it after Game 5. It will be interesting to hear what he has to say in a few minutes.
Miami as constructed the last 3 years have not matched up well with teams........
Yet during those past three years, Miami has been to the finals twice, winning once and trying to get back to the finals for the third straight year.

In the past 3 years this is what happened to Miami.
First year - lost to Dallas in the Fianls - reason 7-footers Tyson Chandler and Dirk Novitski.
Second Year - won the Finals from a team that plays like them but less experienced, no 7-footers to trouble them.
Third Year - the Pacers are giving them headaches to GET to the Finals, where two BIG MEN in Duncan and Splitter await.
So you haven't said anything to relieve your stress.
