NBA Finals prediction 2013 

Post#1 » by SlimShady83 » Sat Jul 7, 2012 6:49 am

NBA teams seem to going for the Big 3, but lately; especially this coming year teams are going for the Big 4... Heck some teams are going for the Big 5 :) ...

And in saying that I'm making an early statement and prediction of what I feel the NBA finals is going to be like this coming season of 2013 ...

Los Angeles Lakers VS Miami Heat

C: Andrew Bynum or Howard??? VS C: Chris Bosh ???
PF: Pau Gasol ??? VS PF: Lebron James
SF: World Peace ??? VS SF: Shane Battier???
SG: Kobe Bryant VS SG: Ray Allen???
PG: Steve Nash VS PG: Dwayne Wade???

Note to everyone: The question marks mean that i'm not sure whether or not those guys will either be on the team or be in that position or even as a starter, just "what I feel" is going to be the line ups.

What you all think??? Would be an awesome match up that's for sure.

p.s a little drunk atm so excuse that lol

I dont see how a team with Nash, Kobe and Dwight (if we can get him) could not win at least 1 championship so I'm really hoping this happens plus my brother is a smeltics fan and hes already annoyed we got Nash lol

LMAO ... Clippers .... Really? you think we have to worry about the clippers?

Just for that I hope the Lakers play Clippers in first round playoffs next year.

That will shut everyone up, about the whole clipper/laker debate lol ...

Lakers will win 2 out of the next 3 champion ships and I will put my money on that ... The thunder will win the other one and Miami/celtics will not win another title for a while :) ...

I have a lot of friens who go for Miami/Celtics so let's hope i'm right lol


Edit ... Clippers won't make playoffs this year unless they get another trade going. Wolves and Suns have better chance.

B4 you say anything about Suns they have now got a great back court.

As long as there is no injury and such that happens of course...

Nevermind that Clips just had their third playoff birth ever with Randy F***ing Foye at the 2, and only figure to improve with the return of Billups (if healthy) and Crawford. That you didn't even know how deep the Clips' backcourt will be is fair indication how seriously anyone should take you.

Assuming everyone on our end stays healthy. And that's a big if. You're talking about possibly adding not just one but two starters pushing 40, an athletic center just coming off back surgery, a 34-yo SG, whose history of playing injured I won't even touch on, and then whoever's on our bench over 30.

Compound that with a coach who's constantly maligned for his maddening rotations and inability (or unwillingness) to limit his players' minutes, and we could just as easily be talking about a second-round exit once again.

Someone find out if the Phoenix medical staff are free agents, please.

My predictions (yes, I'm a Lakers fan) .......

Western Conference Finals
Thunder over Lakers in 6

Eastern Conference Finals
Heat over Boston in 4

NBA Finals
Heat over Thunder in 7

* If Andrew Bynum decides to play to his potential and be a man (as opposed to being a self-indulged, whiny millionaire who feels he's too intelligent to play with his guts hanging out) OR if we get Dwight Howard, then predictions change to ......

Western Conference Finals
Lakers over Thunder in 5

NBA Finals
Lakers over Heat in 6

I'll come back in a year's time and post in this thread...

You'll all be sorry and crying after seeing that both Suns/Wolves will beat the Clippers I may also add that they will take out Jazz as well. (injury's don't count lol)

You'll all just have to wait and see, no point on drooling on about it now though.

I'll be back
