Go LeBron.
Either of the East teams winning will be disappointing. Murray and Jokic winning one would be cool, but I'd probably be more apathetic to that than anything.

I agree, but it would be really disappointing if they were the NBA champions this year. If it was LA/LA and both looked dominate and Clippers beat heat in 4 games, I would at least be able to convince myself we weren't close at all. If Denver wins and barely beat the Heat, I will be reliving the Heat/Bucks series for a while.

I guess I don't really care too much, but you absolutely know which Finals matchup Silver and the powers-at-be would prefer.

But I'm putting an even bigger gap between Miami and Boston. Boston can suck one.

One of the east teams winning it all would be a gut punch. I can't believe we aren't in the ECF.

Fine with all four but Denver would be one. I've always like Miami going back to the Wade days and that team is just good. No problem with the Celtics after Kyrie and Morris left and it would be cool to see Lebron get 4.

It seems to me the Miami board on realgm exhibits a noteable and unusual lack of A-holes, and they're funny, so I'll go Nuggets & Miami

Lebron winning it in a year where all his main rivals were either knocked out or injured would make for a fun discussion in future years. Not to mention the whole bubble/no home court thing.

I want the Heat to beat Boston but I also want 7 games.
I'm against picketing but I don't know how to show it.

Jokic/Murray and the rest whatever. But I wouldn't be annoyed if Miami won. I respect their organization.

I wonder if Brad Stevens will change his entire defense to stop Miami from shooting threes sometime this series.
