Looks like it will be Miami vs Denver in Championship.  That is a battle of 2 very good Centers.  Nikola Jokic who won NBA MVP 2 years before this one is awesome. He was HUGE in beating Lebron and Lakers 4 games to 0.  

I haven't watched NBA in years, but I think I may watch some of The Championship.  Bam from Kentucky is a good Center, but Jokic is better.  I look for Denver and Jokic to win The Championship, but I'm not ruling out also good Miami.   This could be a very good Championship Series.  Do they have this on CBS or NBC or ABC, or is it on some cable network.  You would think like Super Bowl or World Series it would be on a major network like CBS, ABC, NBC or FOX and not on TNT or TBS

Nilola Jokic is the dominate player lately,  not LeBron getting old.   Jokic and Denver are 12 wins and only 3 losses in play-offs. They swept the Lakers.  They have a chance to rest up, while Miami has to play at Boston tonight.  Miami is 3-1 against Boston, but at Boston could go to 3-2.  If Miami wins tonight, they also are 12 wins and only 3 losses in play-offs.   However if they lose tonight, that is in Denver's favor.  In basketball championships it is good to have more days off and less games to play and some extra rest.

Looks like Denver vs Miami, which would be a good Championship, but Jokic is kind of like a Wilt Chamberlain or Bill Russell or Kareen Abdul Jabbar.  Miami may be like Lakers and nobody to stop Denver's Big Guy in Jokic. Jokic can do it all, scores points, rebounds, assists, great at free throws if you foul him.  At almost 7 feet tall and around 280 pounds, and still very athletic, no team really has had an answer on how to stop this Giant.

Could come down to who NBA has the most home games to in a 7 game series.  Like hockey, it is hard to win on road ice.  Home cooking is nice.  Road wins hard to get.  So it may come down to who has 4 home games and who has 3 in this NBA Championship.

Dever should win but Miami is just playing sooooo well right now, i wouldn't count them out by a long shot.
