Nostradamus: NBA Finals Prediction

Like Nostradamus, I have the great ability to make a million predictions, and there's a pretty good chance a handful of them are going to come true.

NBA Final Champions: Oklahoma City Thunder in 6.

The Thunder have home court advantage in the series, which is huge considering Miami is 28-5 at home this season. But even more important is the Thunder are all around a better TEAM. They are better at sharing the ball and getting players involved. They have a deeper bench, are faster, and can score points in a hurry. The series isn't going to be easy, but the Heat rely too heavily on LeBron and Wade to beat a complete team like the Thunder. If one of those two has an off night, it’s pretty much over. Bosh will add the dimension they were missing while he was out with his injury, but it won’t be enough to get them over the hump. They couldn’t beat the Mavericks last year and that team wasn’t nearly as good as this year’s Thunder squad. Kevin Durant will get his first ring, while LeBron has to settle for the consolation prize of his three MVP trophies for yet another year. 

Lebron, you can take your "talents" elsewhere.
