Eastern Conference Finals
#4 Boston Celtics v. #2 Miami Heat
The Miami Heat are back in the Eastern Conference Finals for the second straight season but this time they have home court advantage. The Heat eliminated the Indiana Pacers in a hard fought six game series in the 2nd round sans Chris Bosh who has a strained abdominal and will probably miss the Eastern Conference Finals. LeBron James and Dwyane Wade were absolutely dominant in the final three games of the series against Indiana combining for 70 points, 27 rebounds and 15 assists in Game 4, 58, 21, 11 in Game 5 and 69, 16 and 10 in Game 6, all victories. On the other hand the Celtics just finished a seven game series against the 8th seeded Philadelphia 76ers in an absolutely awful series to watch in which no one could score. The bright spot for Boston this postseason has been Kevin Garnett. Garnett has played like he is back in Minnesota leading the Timberwolves to the Western Conference Finals, he is scoring the basketball well and playing incredibly good defense. To the pick, in order for Boston to even win 2 games in this series they will need Ray Allen to actually show up and for Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo and Garnett to play all world. I think Miami steamrolls the C's and will get to their 2nd straight NBA Finals.
Heat in 5.
