I know I didn't post my ECF and WCF predictions, but if you have been following my Twitter acount, you'd know that I picked the Spurs and the Heat to win in 6 games.
The NBA Playoffs might have been overhyped, due to the EPIC 1st round series. The 2nd round and the Conference Finals haven't really been that good in my opinion, but at the end, we got the Finals we all wanted, well at least I did.
The San Antonio Spurs will once again face the Miami Heat, a team that miraculously won game 6, with the help of the greatest shooter of all time Ray Allen, and went on to win game 7 and capture their second straight NBA Championship. To be honest I don't know who to root for during these Finals. On one hand it would be great to see LeBron 3-peat, but on the other hand if the Spurs would win this championship, it would be a perfect end to the perfect journey of Tim Duncan and Greg Poppovich.
Both teams have multiple reasons as to why they should win the Finals and it's really almost impossible to choose which side will come out on top. I think it will all come down to how well the role players perform. Danny Green, Patty Mills, Boris Diaw, Tiago Splitter, Ray Allen, Rashard Lewis (who have been really ballin' the last couple of games), Shane Battier, Noris Cole or even Greg Oden, who we still haven't seen in these Playoffs. Another factor worth mentioning is Tony Parker's health. Recently he has been dealing with some ankle injury which could slow him down, giving the edge to the Heat's backcourt. I don't consider DWade's health as an issue, as he is shooting over 50% these Playoffs and scoring around 18-20 ppg, which is amazing. Also the Finals format changed back from 2-3-2 to 2-2-1-1-1, which is much better. In the 2-3-2 format the team that had the worse record had the advantage of playing 3 straight games at home, where they could close out the series.
I decided I will not go any deeper into these series. I just hope that we will expierience 7 epic basketball games. That's all.
