After last night's loss, i think its a forgone conclusion that Dwight is leaving Orlando. Sucks but Otis Smith had plenty of chances to build around Dwight and he failed.
Otis Smith sadly never got a closer for his team. A closer is a player that takes (and makes) the big shots when the game is in its last few plays. All championship teams have this type of player, the one player where you give the ball to in the dying seconds of a game. As it is really a requirement. Jordan, Bryant (not Shaq,) Wade (not Shaq,) Olajuwon, Billups & R. Wallace, Duncan, Pierce.
So far Heat have it (Wade, yes not James) Bulls (Rose) Lakers (Bryant, but age is starting to hobble him) OKC (Durant, Westbrook) Boston (Pierce, not as effective anymore)
So I therefore my prediction is it will be Lakers vs. Bulls and Bulls win it. Just like MJordan's first championship, going through the LA Lakers!
