The conference finals are underway, and it's never too early to start thinking about the big show: The NBA Finals. Two teams will emerge from the penultimate series, and they'll do battle for league supremacy.
Golden State and Cleveland are the favorites to meet in the Finals for a fourth consecutive season, but Houston and Boston have home-court advantage and a wave of momentum, too. It won't be a cakewalk for either favorite to advance to the NBA Finals, which is set to kick off on the final day of the month of May.
