Who's going it all? Will the Nuggets come back? etc...

The finals is probably going to be the Heat vs Thunder. Well, that's what I think, so, what's your opinion?

Oh yeah, I completely forgot about the Bulls. Yeah, 4th seed would be suitable for them.

They'll do pretty good. Ray Allen was hurt during the playoffs and he struggled with field percentage. But they still made it to the eastern conference finals. Rondo's 44 points vs the Heat was incredible.

They have a good chance but the Lakers are in the mix for the Finals run. But I think the Heat will repeat. LBJ is arguably the best all around player right now and if new additions to the team. They can repeat. LBJ needs to improve on jump shooting. If that happens, other teams will have even more difficulty guarding him.

i think the heat has a chance to repaet but i just think that somehow the pacers might brigh it home on the east

as for the west its pretty ovious that it will be lakers and thunder in the finals
spurs and clippers hae a chance but i doubt they will win

If Roy Bibbert can step up the inside scoring and paint defense, maybe they can have some type of chance. Spurs are getting old but have good young support off of the bench. I swear I thought they won that series against the Thunder last season. Clippers still need some maturing. But I think the Nuggets are the underdog. They almost knocked off the Lakers in the 1st round.

Harden also needs to be more consistent. And yes Ibaka and Perkins should help score so they can be more dynamic. Not to mention Durant and Westbrook cannot do everything.

yes harden needs to not celebrate as much and start being as little more consistent
perkns needs to go out there and get get rebounds and assist some mised shots
ibaka needs to get a block or 2 in every game
westbrook is preety good he just cant hog the ball all the time
durant is ggod on both ends all he needs is not to get in early or silly foul trouble
sefelosha has to raise his nimbers alittle
and collision doesnt have a specific area to improve inhe is an all around guy so he needs to imporve all around

I think he does. After all, he was the NBA's block leader in the regular season.
sefelosha has to raise his nimbers alittle

He's more defensive orientated. But yes, he can still improve on offensive play.

Why does he need to do this? I think there's a popular misconception that the blocks stat represents a big man's defensive ability.
