With the NBA Regular Season ending tomorrow night, and the playoffs beginning on Saturday, I thought it appropriate to start a thread with conference finals and NBA Finals Predictions.
Eastern Conference Finals- Atlanta Hawks vs Cleveland Cavs. Prediction-Cavs win in five games.
Western Conference Finals- L.A. Lakers vs Denver Nuggets- Prediction-Lakers win in seven games.
NBA Finals- Cleveland vs LA Lakers- Prediction- Cavs win in seven games.
Yes, I know L.A. is the defending champ, and I know Phil Jackson has been to the NBA Finals a total of twelve times as a coach, winning ten of those times, but I just think that if the NBA Finals turns out to be Cleveland-LA, the Cavs will win for two reasons. One, Cleveland would have home court advantage, which is always big in the NBA Finals, and two, Lebron will be super motivated to win a championship.
Other predictions?
