NBA Finals: Who Has The Edge?

Chris Bosh, deservedly one of the Heat's Big Three, will have his hands full trying to defend 7-0 Nowitzki, and Shawn Marion draws James duty. Across the board, series is pretty even on advantages.

Starting guards: So much of the focus will be on Miami's Dwyane Wade and Dallas' Jason Kidd, but the ability of Heat point guard Mike Bibby to make three-point shots and the Mavericks' DeShawn Stevenson to make his shots and defend Wade will play pivotal roles in the series. All eyes will be on Wade and Kidd. Wade is one of the best shooting guards in the NBA and he's great on both ends of the floor. He has averaged 23.7 points, 7.2 rebounds, 4.1 assists, 1.67 steals and 1.27 blocked shots in the playoffs. Kidd, at 38, remains one of the top floor generals in the game. He is averaging 7.7 assists per game in the playoffs, and he has shot 35.6% from three-point range, making him a threat for the Mavericks.
