Surprising NBA Conference Finals Observations

1) Lebron is clutch (73-73 with 4 minutes left in Game 2 VS Chicago; 12-2 run to  close the game and seize control of the Eastern Conference Finals).

2) Miami is a better defensive unit than Chicago.

3) Chris Bosh belongs in “The Big Three.” No, really, he does.

4) Dirk Nowitzki really is that good (My dad told me he’s still not as good as Larry Bird).

5) Derrick Rose disappeared in the 4th quarter---twice.

6) Erik Spolestra might actually know what he’s doing.

7) Aside from LeBron and Bosh, Tyson Chandler was the biggest acquisition of the offseason. “Dallas Mavericks” and “tough” are no longer an oxy moron thanks to Chandler.

8) Jason Kidd is the best Point Guard in the Western Conference Finals. Hands down.

9) JJ Barea is the 2nd best Point Guard in the Western Conference Finals. That’s right.

10) Eric Maynor is the 3rd best Point Guard in the Western Conference Finals. When will Scott Brooks realize it?

11) Kevin Durant isn’t ready to be a leader. SEE: Game 4 VS Dallas.

12) The Kendrick Perkins trade actually made both teams worse. Perkins has no use in this particular Western Conference Finals series. They expected the Lakers with this move, but got the Mavericks.

13) Jason Terry is the most underrated player in the NBA. There's a saying, "automatic offense," and this guys defines that term.

14) Joakim Noah is as stupid as he is ugly. Hopefully he doesn't let the fans get into his head again.
