NBA Finals Prediction

The two teams I would like to see in the NBA Finals is the Boston Celtics and the San Antonio Spurs. Why? These two basketball squads have the ability to play well in the half-court offense and they can make sure that no stars are made on either squad. Sure, the Spurs have a formidable superstar in Tim Duncan, but he is willing to let his ego step aside for the greater good of his team. Even with the backcourt duo of Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli at work, there is no stopping the penetration and speed of Parker and Ginobli's slashing and dashing to the hoop. I think that with the help of role players like Gary Neal and Tiago Splitter and Antonio McDyess and George Hill, the Spurs have also have a formidable rotation with guys who are willing to play a role in the Spurs' formula for winning ball games. Notice that there are no egos when you play for the San Antonio Spurs. With DeJuan Blair as the San Antonio Spurs' starting center, his energy and hustle makes the Spurs work for those rebounds and blocked shots. The Boston Celtics have a flurry of players added to their roster in the offseason that have made them a better, if not seasoned basketball team. Shaquille O'Neal, Jermaine O'Neal, Delonte West, and Von Wafer have been added to this squad. I think with the additions of these players in the off-season makes Boston a contender for the L.A. Lakers' NBA title. I believe that the continuity of Boston's starters in Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Kendrick Perkins, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo and the bench production of Glen Davis, Marquis Daniels, and Nate Robinson will definitely help keep the Celtics on top of the basketball world. I would like the Celtics and Spurs make it a seven-game series in the NBA Finals, if both Boston and San Antonio survive to make it there. My prediction if the Celtics and Spurs are in the NBA Finals? It's going to be close. Spurs in seven.
