Redemption. That's what this season has been about for the Houston Rockets. Last year, the Rockets made their first finals trip in franchise history. Their dream season ended there, at the hands of the Tampa Bay Bull Sharks in an incredibly hard-fought battle. The loss, however, did not deter the Rockets. They stuck with the game plan, and they exploded to a 14-2 record despite the loss of Khris Middleton for most of the year. After the top-seeded Memphis Grizzlies were upset by the Utah Jazz, the Rockets made sure to take advantage. The Rockets cruised to second consecutive Western Conference title....
In their way now are the upstart Washington Wizards. One of the founding members of the league, the Wizards have been through it all. They've weathered some lean years before everything seemed to come together in this magical season. After crushing the Toronto Raptors, the Wizards jumped all over the two-time defending champion Tampa Bay Bull Sharks, en route to their first Eastern Conference title. It's the first time since 2010 that someone other than the Bull Sharks or Nets will be representing the East in the finals. The Wizards are led by do everything forwards Nicolas Batum and Giannis Antetekounmpo, and they look poised for a fantastic finish.

I apologize because it's not my best effort, but this has been an unusually busy spring.
In any event, it's been a really good finals and it's still anyone's ballgame.

Good luck to both teams!
Gut feeling is Houstons 'chip to loose.
Gamblers hoping return to the playoffs next season after a down year..
