Before anyone jumps on the Heat bandwagon, read this. The Miami Heat will not win the NBA Championship because either a. they dont get past the Chicago Bulls or b. they dont beat the LA Lakers.
The Lakers have the easiest road back. The only team with a shot to beat them is Kevin Durant and the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Conference Finals Matchups
East
1 Miami Heat VS 2 Chicago Bulls
PG Mike Miller VS Derek Rose
SG Dwyane Wade VS Taj Gibson
SF Lebron James VS Luoul Deng
PF Chris Bosh VS Carlos Boozer
C Zydrunas Ilgauskus VS Joakim Noah
Ive got to say that this series is a push. I will give the Heat a slight advantage because if this turns into a shootout, the Heat have more starting firepower. Deng and Boozer can get their 25, but I dont believe Derek Rose can average around 33 points a game, which he would have to do for the Bulls to win.
Both teams have alot of pure scorers, but the Heat have better, more efficient ones
West
1 LA Lakers VS 2 Oklahoma City Thunder
PG Derek Fisher/ Steve Blake
SG Kobe Bryant
SF Ron Artest
PF Pau Gasol
C Andrew Bynum
(OK City roster not set enough for me to judge at this point)
Next year may not be the Thunder's year, but their time is coming. These guys are extremely young, and Kevin Durant just signed an extension. If Andrew Bynum is healthy at this point, the Lakers win in 6. If not, they win in 7.
Finals
LA Lakers VS Miami Heat
The Miami Heat have their Super Friends. But the Lakers win this year because the Heat do not have the depth to keep up. What happens when Artest shuts down Lebron and Kobe shuts down Wade? Whos going to guard Andrew Bynum? Chris Bosh is actually going to have to play defense on Pau Gasol.
The Miami Heat have too many holes to keep up with the Lakers.
