That's like bragging about having a parlay that Nadal and Djokovic meet in the French Open final and you hedge with Nadal/Federer.

GTFO

Actually not really. The parlay came out to 6.4-1.
Whatever though. Goodluck this weekend man.

I thought that James played pretty well in these last two must-win games. Didn't fade in the moment at all. Continued where he left off in the Indiana series, especially game four when down 2-1 and he came up with 40-18-9. I almost wish the Heat had lost to Boston though. Personally, I think Boston was the better team but at least the two teams were close so if James would have lost this series, as brilliantly as he played throughout it, I would have at least understood the criticism that would have come his way. Now that they are in the finals, I think OKC is decidedly better as a team than Miami and no matter how well James plays, Miami is going to lose and he's going to be blamed. He could score 50 a game and everyone will blame him.

Excellent hedge. Now, if he does disappear you can say I told you so. If he plays well, you'll also be right.

LeBron James has played in 4 conference finals in his career and has turned in otherworldly performances in all 4. He's not been perfect in the postseason for sure and had 3 terrible games in the finals to close it out last year, but a really good post season player. He led a team to the finals that started a backcourt of Sasha Pavlovic (12th man on Boston this year) and Larry Hughes. Last time Kobe had talent like that with him he demanded a trade from the Lakers. It is what it is. The logo nor Oscar Robertson could win titles either...the logo couldn't win one with Elgin Baylor until Wilt joined up and Robertson couldn't til he got to Milwaukee with Kareem. That said he went to Miami to win titles and if he doesn't he deserves every bit of criticism he gets.

If he is going to win one with that team, he better do it now. The Heat had what should have been a cakewalk to the finals. Wade looks older than his years a lot of the time and isn't getting any younger.

The Thunder aren't going anywhere any time soon and will only get better. The Bulls will be back. Who knows where Deron Williams and Dwight Howard will go, but it won't be to teams that aren't contenders.

OKC in 6

I'd say 5 but I figure Mr Stern will make sure they get at least 6 in. OKC will have at least one bad shooting night and Joey Crawford will take care of another.

Though after watching the fight/decision last night nothing in sports would surprise me anymore.
