NBA Finals Predictions?

[toughtrasher]

So we have the final four teams in the East and West Conference Finals, all of them are the top 2 seeds for their conference.

Miami vs Indiana, the matchup we always wanted in the East.
San Antonio vs OKC, a matchup of super teams.

Who do you have winning in each series?

I'll take the Spurs and Heat for a Finals rematch.

Spurs and Heat. Heat over Spurs.

This is why the NBA is boring.

What Pete said. I'm not even a fan of the NBA but it is fairly easy to predict the outcome each and every year.

The NBA is not boring. That 1st round of playoffs was the best I've ever watched in my life. So much going on.

And honestly, each team on here has a huge chance to go the Finals. The Spurs are the Spurs. The Heat are 2-time champs. The Thunder have the MVP and a very explosive point guard. And the Pacers are built to take down the Heat.

Look at the 2014 NBA finals predictions, I bet you almost every sportswriter has the Heat going to the NBA finals in the east, and the Spurs or Thunder in the west. Now look at NFL superbowl projections, last year people were picking the Falcons and Patriots for the superbowl, neither of which team made it. Heck the Falcons were 4-12. Unpredictability = excitement. Having the 1/2 seeds battling to go to the finals in each conference = boring.

Miami all the way. I went to high school with Frank Vogel. He's the coach for the Pacers. I guess he's the most famous person from Wildwood High School.

This is why I love living overseas. Nobody knows me. I can pick an identity and go with it.

I guess so. Well, it's not basketball in general that's boring to you I guess, since the NCAA tourney is based on one game, the best team's don't always make it. That's unpredictable.

Ready for the Heat to repeat.

 

[Phoenix86]

Game 5 and or game 6 by ref decisions.
