The Thunder led by 23 year old, 3x scoring champion Kevin Durant, finished off the veteran Spurs in six games after starting the series behind two games to none.
The Miami Heat however had a tougher fight. Miami started the series leading two games to none, but then dropped three straight games and faced elimination, but 3x MVP Lebron James stood tall in game 6 delivering 45 points and pushing the series to three games a piece and finally closing the series against a tough veteran Boston Celtic squad in game 7.
Now the Finals are here and these questions will be asked and answered thoughout the sereis. Will we see KD and Lebron one-on-one mostly? Who will slow down the very quick and aggressive Westbrook? Which Big 3 will show up early and the most often? And when OKC's Big 3 are on the court how will Miami match up?
The series will answer my question from my May 22 post, "James or Durant?". Will James get his first of "not 3, not 4, not 5..." or will Durant supass the "King" by obtaining his title at twenty-three? The stage is set and we're on the eve of history and greatness.
I'm rooting for good and exciting basketball but my prediction is Oklahoma winning in six maybe seven.
