If they somehow get Bosh back then Heat in 5.

BTW, I've decided nobody is beating San Antonio. This might be their best team of the Duncan era. It kills me that he an Popazit are going to tie Kobe in rings...
The Thunder and Heat have a chance, but the Spurs have to be the favorite with the way they're playing.
If they win, it will be even more interesting to rank Duncan vs Kobe; the two best players of their generation.

Anyone like Philly today?
If they can control Rondo and take advantage of their size advantage up front they have a shot, but my money is on Boston.

Yes I'm also interested to see where they both rank all time. Are either top 5? Both are definitely top 10 when all is said and done IMO.

I saw Wilpon, and Magic giving Boston a chance (if Bosh does not return), and both expecting the Celtics to give some push to Miami. Shame about the injury to Avery Bradley, as he would have provided some defense on Wade, while Allen has zero chance of doing so.
As long as Bosh is out, KG needs to stop taking jump shots, and remember he is 7 ft tall. The best defense Pierce can provide on James, is scoring a ton on his own and making James work.

I wouldn't put either in the top 5 now and I don't think many do. I think both are currently considered in the 7-12 range. They both could get in that group, but even though Duncan is older, it looks like this year may help his legacy more than Kobe's. Kobe has the point record to go for, though, which would be a big deal, and of course he still has plenty of years to possibly win a title. His play is certainly on the decline, though, and it will be harder for him not to be the man than it is for Duncan.
I think many would have these guys in their top 6:
MJ
Russell
Wilt
Magic
Kareem
Bird
Then there's these guys Oscar, Kobe, Duncan, Mikan, Hakeem, Shaq, Moses, West, Malone, Robinson, Erving, Barkley, KG, and Havlicek.

The loss of Bradley and the lingering injuries to Allen and Pierce are huge here. If the C's were healthy and I expected Bosh to be out most or all of the series, I very well may go with Boston. Since that's not the case, I'll go with Miami in 6.

Also, Boston's offense, for lack of a better term, is complete crap. They were OK in the 2nd quarter but overall they just can't score enough to keep up with the Heat.

My God LeBron James is amazing. I can't see a way where he doesn't end up in the top 5 all-time list. He's that awesome.
Well he'll need some titles for most people to put him in that group. At the very least, he can't have Finals' series' like he did last year.
