Theoretically, I should wait until (or if?) Jimmy Butler is traded before I make my picks, since his presence could certainly have some impact on the order. But, let's be real, it won't make any impact on the NBA Finals.
EAST: Celtics, Raptors, Bucks, 76ers, Pacers, Heat, Wizards, Hornets
WEST: Warriors, Rockets, Thunder, Jazz, Lakers, Pelicans, Trail Blazers, Spurs
Obligatory "the West is streets ahead of the East" comment. I'm omitting the Nuggets (just barely) and Timberwolves (since I'm assuming Butler will eventually be dealt) from the Western bracket, though both teams would be fifth seeds at the worst in the East. Am I really picking the Charlotte freaking Hornets to make the postseason? Egads.
EAST FINALS: Celtics over Raptors
WEST FINALS: Warriors over Thunder
NBA FINALS: Golden State over Boston, six games
After four years of facing the Cavaliers, the Warriors at least get a new opponent, but the dynasty continues.
