Conference Finals- Almost set

Eastern As many expected, Miami easily took down the Celtics in 5 games.
Chicago has a 17 point lead heading into the 4th as they seemingly have beat the Hawks in a 6 game series.
Predictions: Heat vs. Bulls- I hate the heat, so thinking with emotion instead of logic, I am going to pick the Bulls. I love the chemistry the Bulls have and they have a much deeper bench than the Heat. Get any of the Big 3 in foul trouble with the Heat and they become a very middle-of-the road team. I say Chicago in 6, possibly 7. (many dont realize that the Bulls actually get home court advantage and finished the season 4 games ahead of the Heat)
Western Probably the most talked about series of the playoffs so far as the Mavericks made the Lakers look like trash, sweeping them in 4 games. Winning game 4 by 30+ points. Is this finally their year? Dirk and Kidd definitely deserve rings.
In a surprising match-up (surprising because not many predicted Memphis to knock off the #1 seeded Spurs)- Oklahoma City Thunder look to put down the Grizz in 6 games and I think they will successfully do so playing game 6 in OKC and having the better team all around.
Prediction: Mavericks vs. Thunder- tough tough series I see unfolding. I can see it going either way, but I am going to pick OKC in 6 or 7. Kevin Durrant is the man, Russell Westbrook is the man. And the move to pick up Kendrick Perkins before the trade deadline was EXACTLY what they needed to do to help Ibaka and give them some size. Ive also enjoyed OKC all season, just the way they play and the fact that they have ASU alum James Harden.
Finals- Bulls vs. OKC. I pick the Bulls. I think they have better coaching, better front office, better bench, the MVP of the league, and I have even dropped the "B" word yet with Carlos Boozer. Put Boozer with Noah and the 7 footer from Turkey and you have an athletic 4 and 5 spot that can hit shots, make passes, and draw fouls. Bulls bench will be what wins them the series. I think Rose was 100% deserving of the MVP award and hope those cock suckers from Miami lose and never get a championship.

OKC is handling them. It would have been this bad after 1 but they called 2 fouls on Durrant within the first 3-5 minutes.
James Harden lighting it up

Holy shit, Zach Randolph took that shit over. He is looking unstoppable tonight.
Still think the Thunder finish it off at home, it will be a boring conference finals if the Mavs play the Grizz, imo.

OKC just finished up a great game. Played about as perfect as they could have.
I am looking forward to Bulls/ Heat game 1 tonight

Final score 103-82. Bulls lead series 1-0

All I want is for the Heat to NOT win a title. Idc how it gets done.
Definitely rooting for the Bulls to keep it up. I would like to see them win a title, they play like a college team. Very fun to watch.

psh I dont know another 7 footer period who shoots that well. I dont know if anyone in the NBA period has as good of a jump shot as him. His FG percentages and FT percents are insane.

Mavs up 8 with 1:42 left to play
Good game for the Mavs, horrible game for OKC. Too many bad shots late in the game when they could have possibly tied it up.
DAL lead 2-1

Heat are looking damn good. I hate to admit it but they have a sick team that's going to be tough to beat for the next 6 years
