I don't think I've written an NBA column since my epic preview section on the now-defunct Reilly Sports Blog.  The NBA Finals prediction from that post: Trailblazers over Cavs in 5 games.

I will say no more.  I'm no NBA guru.  I don't want to waste my time pretending to know what I'm talking about it, and I certainly don't want you to waste your time reading it.  Just know this: the Celtics will defeat the Lakers in five games.

And your MVP for this series?
