The Thunder, formerly the Seattle Supersonics, are led by NBA scoring leader Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden, whose beard reminds one of San Francisco Giants closer Brian Wilson. The Heat from South Beach are led by NBA MVP LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh.

I like Miami to win in six games because they were in the Finals last season, they're all business now and OKC hasn't faced the pressure of the Finals before.
