2011 NHL Stanley Cup Finals

2011 NHL Stanley Cup Finals Prediction:
Vancouver Canucks over Boston Bruins in 6 games
Champion: CANUCKS
Key match-ups: The two goaltenders Luongo and Thomas and the power play of both teams will be key factors in who wins this series, but the Canucks are the most complete team and I would be very surprised to see the Bruins pull off the upset.

2011 NBA Finals Analysis and Prediction

ADVANTAGES:
PG- Mavericks
SG- Heat
SF- Heat
PF- Mavericks
C- Mavericks
Bench- Mavericks
Coaching- Heat
Match ups- Heat
Defense- Heat
Athleticism/ Speed- Heat

Questions:
Can the Heat continue their strong streak of closing out games?
Who will guard Dirk?
How will the Mavs defend the Heat's high scoring attack?

Prediction:
HEAT over Mavericks in 7 games.
The Mavs shooting and their leadership under their veterans Dirk and Jason Kidd will not be enough, as the Mavericks won't be able to guard the Heat's big 3 with their deficiency in athleticism and speed. The Heat's elite defense will do enough to contain Dirk. This has the looks of a 7 game series, and look for the Heat to win!
