NBA Finals Prediction

Tonight the NBA Finals begin in Los Angeles as the Lakers take on the Philadelphia 76ers. By all indications, the Lakers should win the series in a walk. Of course, don't tell the Sixers that.
The Sixers are banged up and seemingly worn out after enduring seven game sets against the Bucks and Raptors. Even the Pacers gave them everything they could handle for the most part of a 5 game set.
But can the Alan Iverson led Sixers triumph over Shaq and Kobe? After all the Lakers haven't lost in this post season. Coupled with the fact that they have been resting for a week, there seems little hope for the Sixers.
My prediction is that the Lakers will take their second consecutive NBA crown, but I really don't see a sweep happening. Look for the Sixers to win a couple of games in the series, which by the way is pretty much how last years Finals went.
