David Stern would hate that match up just as much...

Miami is also a small market team. They always have been and it hasn't changed just because Lebron came here. Markets are determined by the T.V deal your team gets. Last time I checked Miami's deal is $50-60M compare that to L.A that is 120M+ per year. However I do agree that no one wants to see a SA vs Indy finals but I will say that it would be a good one from a pure basketball point of view.

This series would have been done and over with, but hey the Spurs sweeping the Grizzlies cost the league a lot of potential money, so this one had to go the distance. Of course the refs wont interfere with Game 7 because Stern can't allow a ratings nightmare to take place in the Finals.

Please don't do that, I expect much more from you than blaming the refs. With or without bad calls the Heat win in 5 if Chris Bosh and D-Wade show up. The Heat players being frustrated has alot ore to do with them knowing that they are the better team but not showing it on the court. Personally I would love to see someone punch D-Wade in the Jaw and draw some blood. He has a history of going into beast mode and taking over when someone makes him bleed. Sadly, I just don't see his knee letting him do that. Bosh on the other hand is just useless right now.
Game 7 is going to be a great one.
