Speculative NBA Finals Preview

I'll be away when the Pistons win the next two games to knock off the Celtics (and they will) but no matter, I can make my predictions now because I would be shocked if the Lakers didn't end the Spurs season tonight.

Kobe is the most competitive player and best closer since Michael and I don't see how he can make the final and not close it out. I have kept waiting for Odom and Gasol to lay an egg but it is not going it happen. They are playing great and Derek Fisher adds a lot of moxie and toughness to them.

Lakers over whoever they play in 6.

If the Spurs pull off a miracle I say they will beat the Celtics or Pistons in 6 too.
