NBA Finals 2014: Whose time ahead?





The 2014 NBA Finals have been nothing but full of action and the basketball fans are making the most out of it. Although Spurs beat Heat in the Game 3, there’s no telling which of these two teams will come on top in the Game 4 to be held in South Florida.


As far as odds are concerned, Spurs have odds in their favour (1-2), while for Miami odds are against them (9-5).


Miami’s Route to Success: Check struggle at point guard

They may have the best player in LeBron James, but the struggle at the point guard position has been their biggest cause of worry in the recent games. While this puts a lot of pressure on Mario Chalmers and Norris Cole, they have to do what they do the best— to get the ball to the best players on the team. If Heat has to pull out a victory in the Game 4, these players have to overcome their struggle to play well.


San Antonio’s Route to Success: Team Play

While Miami relies on offensive strategy, San Antonio plays smartly on both offensive and defensive fronts. There is no dearth of good players in Spurs like Duncan and Parker, but the strength of this team lies mainly on the willingness of every member and their ability to work as one team. Of course, Head Coach Gregg realizes this and that’s why he preaches them this team-first mentality at all the times. 


As the two best teams in the NBA, takes on each other in the remaining games, it would not be difficult to say that the series is going to be a six or seven.
