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. |

I'm not sure he can land both. I thought Williams was a lock, but I'm not sure of that any longer either.

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. |
