Celtics VS Spurs Finals

Celtics in 7. ANYTHING IS POSSIBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEE!

People love New Orleans and Portland. I love them too, but I feel like New Orleans is being slightly overrated this year. New Orleans plays in the toughest division in basketball. Those teams are going to battle all season long and in the end I feel like New Orleans is going to fade in the playoffs. I also feel like the Lakers have a lot of question marks. I have them #1 based on talent alone but my gutt is telling me that they might fade this year too. I wouldn't be surprised if they're a 4 or 5 seed this season.
In the end I have the Spurs going to the finals because it's an odd year and at the end of the day they ALWAYS seem to be there in the end. I think this year the calls go their way and they make it back to the finals.

In the east I think we all know who the top 5 teams are. After that there's a pretty big drop off so it's going to be interesting to see who sneaks in for a 1 and done playoff experience. In the end I cannot see a team that can equal Boston's intensity and passion. KG, Pierce, and Ray are far from washed up. I think the C's will be an even better team this season. But to win a championship so many things need to go your way. Being better doesn't mean we win another title.
