NBA Finals – A Home Run for the League

As much as I hate mixing sports terms from one game to the other.  This one seems to fit.  The NBA has hit a home run with the match up this year.  They could not have picked a better match up than what  they are ending up with The Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder.  You have the one everyone seems to love to hate with LeBron James and the one everyone seems to love with Kevin Durant.  Who would have thought it?  The only loser in all of this is the City of Seattle who watched the Sonics leave Town to become the Thunder who they all thought would crash and burn.  They were just a little wrong about that and could be really wrong for the next few years.

Are we looking at what could turn into a major clash over the next few year?  I would say yes on that point.  Both of these teams are poised to do quite well over the next few years.  A few short months ago it looked like the NBA was going to be a big fail.  Some how the NBA managed to Hit a Home run  with the finals.  For all the people that were looking for some kind of old school final with The Celtics or The Lakers they are upset.  If they are thinking old school then they are missing out.  If you are really a fan or a casual fan of the NBA then you will be able to see that this is the best match up that you could have hoped for this year.  With the hate of the big 3 of the Heat and the promise of what may be to come with the Core of the Thunder there is a lot for everyone here.  With The Heat you either love them or hate them but that is what the NBA needs.

I am not a huge fan of the NBA.  I think that the way they have changed the game over the past few years has made it painful to watch.  How ever I find this finals to be very interesting.  I see no way for Miami to win 7 like the players proclaimed when they came together.  I do see it being possible for them to win two or three.  If the Thunder can keep this team together they will have a chance to win a few a well.

The Heat win this series in 6.

What are the predictions out there for this series?  Will this be a win for the NBA no matter which team wins?
