NBA Finals Predictions

 NBA Finals Predictions

    When you think of a "super team" you are likely going to think about the LA Clippers, LA Lakers, or the Houston Rockets. While these teams are loaded with talent, do they have what it takes to be NBA champions?

    The Eastern Conference has been over looked since the reign of the Golden State Warriors, but they wont be slept on for long. With the Boston Celtics taking down the reigning champions, and the Miami Heat walking over the Milwaukee Bucks, we are set for a very exciting eastern conference finals. 

     With two fully loaded teams equipped with deep benches and threats from all over the floor, its hard to count these teams out. Looking at teams who can truly do it all, the Heat and Celtics are my front runners for this years NBA championship.

    I get it... this is supposed to be the year that the Lakers bring it home. Especially with the death of Kobe Bryant it seems like it is meant to be. I simple don't think that is the case.

    Are the Lakers full of offensive and defensive powerhouses? Yes. Do they have enough help outside of their starting five to get things done? We will see.

    The Celtics have proved game in and game out that they deserve to be where they are and are ready to make a push for the finals. Marcus Smart, Jason Tatum, Kemba Walker, and Jaylen Brown are all getting it done on both ends of the floor and are ready to take the next step.

    Most of this team have been together for a couple of years now, but the addition of Walker has taken the Celtics to the next level. His ability to score on command and find his open teammates has made them a full and complete team.

    The Heat are also a fully loaded squad with deep threats and beasts around the rim. With Jimmy Butler, a fierce competitor, leading the way they have a great shot at winning it all.

No matter who wins the East... don't count them out.
