Hello folks! As some of you may have known, I've been extremely busy and away from my computer for some time now. That hasn't stopped me from watching the NBA playoffs though. The conference finals were great and now I'm expecting an even better NBA Finals. My original conference finals picks were:
Eastern Conference
2. Miami Heat vs. 4. Boston Celtics: Heat in 6
Western Conference
1. San Antonio Spurs vs. 2. Oklahoma City Thunder: Spurs in 7
Obviously I was wrong in the Western Conference. The Thunder played great and made excellent adjustments to turn the series in their favor. They're now up against the Miami Heat who are coming off their 2nd straight Eastern Conference championship. LeBron James is playing at a high level (he was at this time last year though) and has been carrying his squad. The match up between James and Kevin Durant is what everyone will be watching. No one in the league has been playing better than those two since the playoffs started. The Heat were my preseason pick to win it all but a lot has changed since December. OKC is playing great defense and is showing not only are they talented, but they're tough as nails. Nobody on their team is scared of the big stage which will ultimately propel them to the championship. I just don't see how a team as tough as them with homecourt advantage can lose with the title on the line. With that said, here is my official prediction:
2. Oklahoma City Thunder vs. 2. Miami Heat: Thunder in 7
Enjoy the series folks!
