Conference Finals Predictions

West
Thunder in 7
This is a tough series to call but I'm leaning toward OKC for a few reasons. First of all they have the MVP along with one of the other 10 best players in the game. That can overcome a lot. Their athleticism can give the Spurs fits, as it did in the 2012 WCF and in their sweep of this year's season series. Assuming Ibaka is healthy I give the Thunder's individual brilliance the slight edge over the Spurs machine, even though the coaching matchup is scary.

East
Heat in 6
This series is a lot easier to call. Although the Pacers have upped their play as of late it is still difficult to trust them, especially against the best player in the world. They still can present some matchup problems with their size if Hibbert is properly engaged, but I'm not convinced they can beat Miami 4 times.

Update: Due to Ibaka being out, give me Spurs in 7.
