The NBA is officially here. We’ve had two nights in a row where our TVs were filled with the familiar faces of Kobe Bryant, Yao Ming and Lebron James. It’s been a fun offseason this year. Kobe demanding to be traded, then taking it back, and now once again saying he doesn’t want to play for LA. The Celtics add big time ballers Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen to their rosters. And the Spurs did absolutely nothing in the offseason, yet they are still one of the favorites for an NBA Championship.

My team is the Houston Rockets. I’ve been a fan of them since I can remember, dating back to the days of Hakeem and Cylde Drexler. Now the Rockets have brought back Stevie Franchise to ball with McGrady and Yao. I really like the Rockets chances this year to compete in the Western Conference Finals. Their issue has always been health. When healthy, they’re one of the best teams in the league.

So with the season underway, I felt it’s only appropriate to give my NBA Finals predictions.

Coming out of the West, the Houston Rockets. Coming out of the East, the Boston Celtics. Winning it all? Houston of course.
