NBA Season Review and Picks for the Finals

 

I have to say this has been an ugly, ugly NBA season.  The lockout and greed of the NBA, squeezing in too many games in too little time has lead to terrible basketball.  I'm not going to bother looking up stats because anyone that watched the regular season and playoffs can see this is not an acceptable product.  Compare this to the NFL where the biggest difference was the defenses took until the playoffs to catch up to the offenses.  So what did we get, one of the worst teams of all time (Bobcats), another scoring title from someone that didn't avg 30ppg, and just overall bad shooting.

Speaking of the Brooklyn (inside joke), the Bobcats better lay down the red carpet for Jerry Sloan.  If Sloany is trying to coach next year, this is a good pick seeing that he won't have the same issue of a superstar idiot trying the run the show (Deron Williams and Dwight Howard).

Speaking of Brooklyn, Dwight has to be the biggest puss in the history of the NBA, overtaking LeBron.  What kind of man is he?!?!?!?!? First he signs a year option to stay with the team, knowing damn well he doesn't want to be there, than he lies about asking for Stan Van to be fired.  Now I'm not saying she should come out and say she asked for him to be fired but just don't say anything at all.  SMH man.

To my picks, OKC Thunder should beat San Antonio in 6 at the max as long as Westbrook doesn't avg 5 turnovers a game.  Timmy just doesn't have it anymore and you can't rely on Parker especially with him having to spend energy guarding Westbrook.  Harden and Ginobli will cancel each other out.  This leaves Durant who loves the big moment and will go off in at least 3 games.

The Heat will take Boston in 6 at the max.  Boston can't take advantage of the Heat's weakness, which is no decent Big man.  Boston is just too old and Rondo hasn't been going off like his usual self.

Heat vs Thunder for the title.  Tough tough pick. This will go 7.  If Bosh doesn't play, the Thunder will wear out the Heat.  If Bosh plays,  I will say Lebron just wanting it more than anyone else will carry the Heat to a 7 game series thriller.
