I think the fitting Finals will be the Celtics - Spurs. Hear me out.
The Lakers are primed and ready to be the future of the Western Conference. As a Spurs fan I am able to admit that they are. All the pieces are in place for them to be the dominant force in the West, however, I do not believe the Spurs are done with their run and as the elite of the West. Until Duncan cannot put up the types of numbers he does night after night with his supporting cast, I just don't see an end to it this year. Yes, time is ticking against them and the hourglass is running out of sand, but not yet.
Now to my point. Now if the C's make it to the finals, which is highly possible, It would only be fitting for them to knock off the Spurs in the Finals. If the Lakers make it to the Finals, those who simply want to relive the glory days (C's vs Lakers) will be satisfied, but these are not the glory days, so I don't see it happening.....yet. To make it the glory days something drastic has to happen such as beating the Spurs in the finals. If Boston and Spurs make it to the finals and the Spurs lose, I could see that as a passing of the torch. Much more historic than Shaq leaving the Lakers to go play for another team...leaving the door open for the Spurs. Maybe I just want Drama and passion instead of trades and money but to me that would be fitting.
but for now
Go Spurs Go
