Wow! Bold prediction taking the THunder over the Lakers AND the Heat. The Thunder will be good but to go from never winning a playoff series to winning the title in one year seems very quick. I think they are still a couple years from truly contending.

Definitely a fair point. I really like the Durant-Westbrook combo, and for the Lakers it would 4 straight years in the Finals, also tough.

And I didn't want to pick the same old thing, of course Lakers-Celtics wouldn't shock me.
