This is a new playoff thread I created, Conference Finals

I created this because to me the Final 4 is what it is all about. The big boys make it this far whether it be in the NBA - West/East Finals, Baseball with the NLCS/ALCS, or the NFL's AFC/NFC Title games. The best of the best happens from here on out.
In the East you have the Celtics vs Heat, in the West you have the Lakers vs Nuggets. Who wins each series and why? I will start with the East, unfortunately I have the Celtics winning but in 7 tough games 4-3. The Heat won tonight but IMO the Celtics are the better team. Jimmy Butler is the best player in this series but not by much over Tatum. The combo of Tatum and Brown together should get the Celtics the series win. I expect Walker to play pretty evenly against Dragic as well as the series goes deeper but we will see? Down 1-0 so far though to the Heat. In the West, I have Lakers in 6 games 4-2. I can see this series being tied at 2-2 but then Lakers show they are the better team from then on. The Nuggets are a gritty team and Murray and the Joker are no joke but LeBron and AD are just simply too much.
