Its crunch time in the nba. We are down to the final four teams, as the Conference Finals will be getting underway in the next few days. On wednesday, the Dallas Mavericks will travel to the Minnesota Timberwolves in game one of the western Conference Finals, but later on tuesday, the Boston Celtics will be hoping to get their Eastern Conference Finals off to a winning start over the indianna pacers.
