Does anyone expect any different than a Heat/Lakers final?

Hate both of those teams by the way, but let's just be honest, barring over the top performances by the Celtics or the Thunder and good officiating from the refs, that's gonna be our 2 finals squads hate it like it or love it.

Lakers vs Cavs part deux. And that one didn't happen.

Lakers/Celtics.

I know it's just some good-natured trash talk, but it wouldn't bother me as much if the Lakers lost to the Heat than if they lost to the Celtics. That's why I want a Lakers/Celtics series...the stakes seem higher and I'd be a lot more into the game because I hate the Celtics. If the Heat beat the Lakers, who cares? That team's still not going to catch the number of Laker championships.

I'm expecting LAL/MIA.

But the popular consensus answer is usually always wrong for some reason. For example - 2011 was LAL/MIA, 2010 was LAL/CLE. Neither happened.

I only see 4 possible Finals in 2013:
LAL/MIA
OKC/MIA
LAL/BOS
OKC/BOS

Okl/MIa

[oh the horror]

While I expect a Lakers/Heat finals, I remain reserved due to the age of the Lakers this upcoming season. A lot depends on their ability to remain healthy and Mike Brown to manage minutes properly....


Yeah....Mike Brown....manage minutes.....properly.

At this point, it seems like a Kobe/LeBron finals is never going to happen. Not getting my hopes up.

Injuries are a real factor in sports... Lots of things have to go right for a LA/MIA Finals to happen.

[bdreason]

Thunder could make it again. I don't see anyone out East beating the Heat though.

[All Net]

It's the expections yes. Miami are the clear favourite in the east and obviously Lakers/Thunder will be a battle in the west most likely but i have full confidence it will be L.A in the finals. Just need to stay healthly.
