The San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat went at it yesterday, and the Spurs had a convincing win in their home turf. Their regular season match-up is 1-1, both for the home team.

Both teams are surging as the playoffs approaches, and the experience that both teams now have is slowly becoming a factor.

Talks of a rematch are buzzing around the league, but there are some important questions that must be tackled.

The experts weigh in. True or False from ESPN:

"Q: Spurs Are the Best Team in The West When Healthy:

Andrew McNeill, 48 Minutes Of Hell: False. I think a healthy Spurs team is at the very least top four in the league, but I give the edge to a healthy Thunder team. Kevin Durant is playing out of his mind, Serge Ibaka causes problems for the Spurs' defense, and Russell Westbrook is still very good. Oklahoma City by a nose.

Amin Elhassan, ESPN Insider: True. It's not a question of having the best collection of talent, but San Antonio definitely personifies the "whole is greater than the sum of the parts" theory. The top seven minutes-per-game guys from 2012-13 have missed a combined 65 games this season, and the Spurs are just percentage points behind the team with the best record in the NBA."

By default, Miami is the best team in the East, as only Indiana has an argument. The Spurs are surrounded by contenders, but they are only half a game behind the OKC Thunder. Injuries are a part of the game but when healthy, as the Spurs are this game-this is the result. While it is not a fair measuring stick, OKC took on Miami a week ago with Westbrook playing his first game back from injury-and they lost.

"Q: This is the last year of Heat Big Three (James, Wade, Bosh)

McNeill: True. The big key is Dwyane Wade. Is he going to take less money again on his next contact? If not, is he going to be able to play up to the same level as his Big 3 counterparts? Wade's expiration date is fast approaching and a lot of what happens for Miami depends on him.

Brian Windhorst, ESPN.com: False. I don't see any other serious threats to take LeBron. There may be some interest in Bosh elsewhere. But these guys are happy and successful: it looks like they'll be together for another year."

They are happy and content as long as they are winning. And to define 'winning' for them is to win a championship. If they get anything less this year, they might feel they are not 'winning' anymore. If Wade's game unravels, if Bosh gets a max offer from a team that looks like a serious contender-too many 'ifs' for Miami to break up. So they'll probably stay.  

"Q: This is the last year of Spurs Big Three (Duncan, Parker, Ginobili)

McNeill: False, but 2014-15 is. Manu Ginobili, Tim Duncan (player option) and Tony Parker all have one year left on their contracts with the Spurs. This is not a team that cares about legacy or narrative, but the three of them going out together is too perfect. Parker won't retire, but who knows what his chances of returning will be with San Antonio possibly facing a rebuilding effort."

No dissenting opinion here, primarily because all three are under contract as opposed to the Heat Big 3 which can all opt out. The only way they break up is if the Spurs trade any one of them-which the Spurs will never do because they are the Spurs. Or if one of them demands a trade-which they will never do because they are with the Spurs. Class begets class.

"Q: Heat Vs Spurs Rematch Predictions:

McNeill: Heat in six. LeBron James is still the best player in the world and I think the Spurs have regressed slightly since June's Finals. Granted, so has Wade, but I think the advantage still lies with Miami.

Zach Harper, A Wolf Among Wolves:The Heat. If two teams are evenly matched like these two teams seem to be, I'll always end up taking whichever team has the best player on it."

That's the logic. In an even series, the team with the best player wins it. That same logic applied to San Antonio in their championship run against Detroit in 2005 when the series went all the way to Game 7. Tim Duncan was the best player in that series but the teams were all but even. Spurs won Game 1 and 2 convincingly; Pistons came back and massacred the Spurs in the next 2 games. The last three were all close games.

Lebron James holds that distinction now.
