The conference finals are here, and that means we're that much closer to the NBA Finals. The four teams left will do everything in their power to advance, and it all starts with the Celtics and Cavaliers on Sunday. That will be followed by the Warriors and Rockets on Monday.
Are the Rockets legitimate contenders to knock off the champs? Can the undermanned Celtics keep their Cinderella run going against the mighty LeBron James? The conference finals have plenty of intrigue this season, so we turned to our panel of experts to give their predictions.
Reid Forgrave: This will be a close series. Split the first two in Houston; split the next two in Golden State; then the Warriors will win in Houston and then close out at home. The Warriors have had an up-and-down (for them) season due to injuries, but it finally feels like things are clicking. And when things are clicking for the Warriors, they're close to unbeatable. Prediction: Warriors in 6.
Brad Botkin: The Warriors are really clicking right now, and if they had home-court advantage, I'd take them in six. But the series starts in Houston so I'll say it goes seven. This should be an incredible series, particularly if both teams find their typical 3-point form, which they haven't been able to do to the point. Stephen Curry looks healthy and had a great Game 5 against New Orleans to send them into the conference finals on a good note. Draymond Green is back to dominating. But Kevin Durant is the difference here. We'll go back and forth, but in the end, Durant can get his shot whenever he needs to, and that will put Golden State over the top down the stretch of games and ultimately in this series. Prediction: Warriors in 7.

James Herbert: I can't bring myself to pick against a team that I think has the best roster ever assembled. That said, the Rockets have the best statistical profile of any team Golden State has faced in the Steve Kerr era and they have a small army of elite defenders to throw at Kevin Durant. If Stephen Curry isn't quite himself or the Warriors' turnover issues appear at the wrong time, this is the rare opponent that can actually punish them. Prediction: Warriors in 7.
Colin Ward-Henninger: I want to believe in the Rockets -- I really do. Maybe I'm biased from watching the Warriors in person this postseason, but it's hard for me to see any team beating them. The Rockets are much improved this season, but so were the Raptors when they were brutally swept yet again by the Cavs. It may not be fair, but I can't believe it from Houston until I see it. The Warriors are the better team, and they come in as healthy and energetic as they've been all season, so as much as I'd like the Rockets to give them a real challenge, I'm just not sure that's how it will play out. Prediction: Warriors in 6.

Jack Maloney: The Rockets are a really strong team. Their offense is as powerful as ever, they quietly built an elite defense and they have two true stars in the backcourt. But they aren't as good as the Warriors. With Steph Curry healthy, the Warriors are just too good, too talented. The Rockets will probably put up their best fight, but I just don't see anyone in the league beating this Warriors team four times. Prediction: Warriors in 6.Chris Barnewall: The Rockets have been incredible. Chris Paul is finally in the conference finals. James Harden is the likely league MVP. The defense is legitimate. I really want to pick them to win this series, but the Warriors have done nothing to show why they shouldn't still be considered the favorite to repeat as champions. They're still the greatest collection of talent we've ever seen put together on a roster. They still have Kevin Durant. Steph Curry is healthy. The Warriors don't have to prove anything to anybody. It's up to the Rockets to prove us all wrong. Prediction: Warriors in 7.

Kyle Boone: Golden State coasted through most of the regular season but has noticeably turned its intensity up a notch in the postseason. And while I'm impressed with its run through the West, I'm hesitant about teams trying to switch to another gear for the playoffs. Especially for Golden State, which faces a Houston team that has been the best in the NBA all season. Its two stars, Chris Paul and James Harden, are hitting their stride at a perfect time. Meanwhile, Curry still doesn't look to be his old self, and the Rockets' home-court advantage is a big boon for an underdog looking to complete a conference finals upset. Prediction: Rockets in 6.
