NBA Playoffs: NBA Finals Prediction

According to Leibowitz (2013), the matchups are set in the Finals which is the Heat against the Spurs. The first game that they will face each other is on June 6, 2013. The Miami Heat seem to have had a lot of trouble with the Pacers in the last round so they might also have trouble in this round. The Miami Heat are playing veteran players in the Spurs who have experienced the Finals a few times and won a few times. The Heat have also gone to the Finals 3 consecutive years including this year and only won one.

According to Klein (2013), LeBron James is looking to get his second championship ring while Tim Duncan aims to win his fifth ring. The lineups might be a problem for the Heat because they have tall and good rebounders in Spurs while the Heat have bad rebounders. It will all depend on LeBron if he is able to carry his team to win all the games in the Finals. On the other team, Tony Parker will most likely be the reason why they might win it because he has played like an MVP this year and deserves to get a ring for his leadership.
