Who’s left in the NBA conference finals is one Goliath and three Davids.
At least, that’s the way it looks on the surface.
The Boston Celtics are the clear favorites to win the championship as the NBA’s version of the Final Four unfolds.
Jason Kidd acknowledged as much on Monday as the Mavericks began preparations for the Western Conference semifinals against Minnesota.
“You have four left,” he said. “Probably only one was really talked about as having a legit chance of winning the championship. And that would be Boston.”
Indeed, before the season, the Celtics were about 3-to-1 to win the title.
