What's scarier than Thunder and Big Bears? A couple of things.
1. Hearing Mark Cuban say, "Maverick" like Sarah Palin.
2. The Heat that strikes like lightning!
OK my bold, but humble Lakerless, prediction goes as such:
The Grizzlies match up better with the Mavs. I think Randolph mirrors Nowitzki better than Kendrick Perkins or Serge Ibaka. The backcourt match up is a bit better defensively with the Grizzlies too. Offensively the Thunder with Westbrook can put up some big numbers. Now it's just a matter of whether or not the Thunder can take care of that home cooked meal and advance. My prediction is a comfortable margin of victory for the home team (the Thunder).
Overall the Mavs take the West. Often times youth and zeal are no match for age and treachery. Jason Terry, Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, and Jason Kidd have all been around and still get up and down pretty good, so they will be tough.
A look at the beasts in the East. Rose is becoming one of my favorite watches, but the Bulls are sadly enough stacked with too many Dookies for my liking. And again I have to refer to age and treachery in this match up, but also add one other small detail... star power! Who gets the call, Joakim Noah or Chris Bosh? I'm going to give Bosh a slight edge over the newby. Now how about D Wade and Derrick Rose? Wade still has star power but Rose is the Kia NBA MVP. Three letters in the last three words and acronyms, hmm... would a three letter, three word answer be impressive? OK here goes: Dee has him! I almost can't lose there, you pick which D it is. Oh wait Wade is D3! It's that whole basketball omen, so Wade it is. Then there's the no brainer. Carlos Loozer or Lebanon James? Nuff said. Enjoy watching the NBA Star Power, sadly enough I believe it's going to decide this years champ.
