Pick your winner.

Pick the number of games.

Pick the MVP

Heat

6 games


Lebron James.




If Lebron plays like he did in those last two games against Boston, I don't see the Heat losing.  The Thunder do not have the defense the Celtics have.

My preseason pick this year was the Thunder so there is no way I turn back on that now.

I go Thunder in 6.

Durant as MVP.

New dynasty begins.

Thunder in 7.  Durant MVP.

might be the closest thing to an fairly-officiated series since the refs won't know who to favor: Bron/Wade/Bosh or Durant/Harden/Westbrook.

OKC's deeper and hopefully Perk lays out Wade or Bron on one of their drives to let them know going into the paint comes with a price.

The Thunder also won't have trouble scoring nearly as much as the C's did for long stretches though.

I'm thinking OKC in 6.

Durant for MVP.

I have Thunder in 6, Durant MVP. Thunder win games 1 and 2, heat win game 3, Thunder game 4, Heat 5, back in OKC for game 6 where they close it out.

On a side note, does anyone else think the 2-3-2 system of the finals is really dumb? I always thought it was...

Yeah, messes up the flow from the rest of the playoffs. In most hotly contested series the two close out games are 6/7. I much prefer those are split among the two teams' home court.
