NBA Championships - Denver +800
NBA Championships - Denver +800
I'm not waiting for the outcome of the Western Conference finals before making this play. It's clear that the Lakers are somewhat overrated and I think the hottest team of the moment (Denver) will win the Western Conference.
As for the Eastern Conference, Cleveland will win that. But let's face it, Cleveland are also overrated, IMHO. In the playoffs, they've faced 2 teams (Detroit and Atlanta) that wouldn't have made it to the Western Conference playoffs. Atlanta CLEARLY didn't belong in the playoffs. In a possible Cleveland-Denver matchup, I see Denver winning one road game and Cleveland unable to do so. That'll give Denver the Championship in 6. I say Denver wins GMs 2, 3, 4 and 6.
