After the downfall of the King, four teams remain in the race for the trophy.  Will the Lakers repeat?  Can the Magic make it back to the finals and win it this year?  Are the 2008 Celtics back?  Or can the Suns win their first championship in franchise history.  We do not have exact answers for these questions yet, but by the end of this month we will know the two teams who will be playing in the NBA finals.  Here are our Conference Finals predictions.  Eastern Conference: (2) Orlando Magic vs. (4) Boston Celtics Efe’s Prediction What Boston needs to win: The Celtics need to disrupt the dangerous supporting cast of Orlando.  One flaw in the Magic's game is that they don't use Howard as much as they should...
