**UPDATE** Thunder Snatch Game 1 105-93. Game 2 is on Thursday.
The NBA Finals 2012 series begins tonight at 9:00 p.m. ET in Oklahoma City's Chesapeake Energy Arena.
LeBron James and the Miami Heat will play with full force in order to snatch Game 1 away and pressure a well-rested Thunder.
Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden have teamed up superbly to topple the San Antonio Spurs in the Western Conference Finals and now they will try to do it again against James, D-Wade, CB3 and the Heat.
Both teams have great talent and arguably the two best players in the league with James, the league's MVP and Durant, the league's leading scorer.
Although Miami is arguably the favorite to win the series, NBA commentators and writers think differently.
In a blog post, Steve Aschburner, Fran Blinebury, Scott Howard-Cooper, Shaun Powell and Sekou Smith predict the Thunder to win in either 6 or 7 games against John Schuhmann who believes the Heat will win in 6. That's 5 commentators to 1.
Prediction: Thunder in 5
