It is down to the final four! The dark shadow of the Miami Heat looms ever nearer to the Finals once again this year with the Celtics serving as the one remaining team barring their path in the East. The Celtics success seems unlikely, however, given their performance in the playoffs this year.
The Heat's trip to the Finals seems inevitable at this point, meaning that the one hope for humanity lies in the West upon the shoulders of either the Spurs or the Thunder. Now, talk about a great match-up! Both teams are very similar in terms of playing ability and yet they couldn't be more different. The Spurs are the older team, with players nearing the end of their careers. However, they have years of EXPERIENCE playing together in tough playoff situations. The Thunder are a YOUTHFUL team of young bucks, full of energy and endurance. They, however, lack experience playing together as a team in the NBA. The series is like something straight out of a John Wayne movie where the young cow picks a fight with the older bull for dominance of the herd. In those movies, at least, the older cow always won...
