Drew's Finals and Awards predictions:
Eastern Conference Finals
(1) Miami Heat vs. (2) Boston Celtics
Too much size, too much experience, too much Rondo lead the Celtics to a 4-2 win over the Miami super team to advance to its third NBA Finals in four years.
Western Conference Finals
(1) L.A. Lakers vs. (2) Dallas Mavericks
The Mavericks may be the only team out west with the size and versatility to challenge the Lakers on the quest for the three peat, but the Lakers playoff composure and grit will be the keys to L.A. returning to its 4th straight NBA Finals.
NBA Finals
(1) L.A. Lakers vs. (2) Boston Celtics
Lakers vs. Celtics Part III? Kobe vs. Shaq in the Finals??? Like it or not it's gonna go down Ali and Frazier style. Who wins? Home court advantage will be a major factor, but whichever team is the healthiest come June holds up the trophy after another gruelling seven game series.
