Spurs are better than they were last year, and Miami, not so much. Mike Miller's gone and Battier has regressed. However, Wade is now much better than last year and so is Bosh.
Wade and Bosh were barely a factor against the Spurs last year most of the games.
Last year, Danny Green and Gary Neal shot lights out from downtown as if anything they threw up will go in. Won't expect this to happen again this year.
Tony Parker's bum ankle or hammy is a big concern for the Spurs. On paper, I'll still give the Spurs a slight upperhand. But I'm going with LBJ's greatness and say Greg Oden will win his first ring before Durant will.
