Recap

Cleveland v. Detroit (3-0)

The prediction was right. Its 3-0 right now. Nearly over

Boston v. Chicago (2-1)

The celtics are actually tougher than I thought they were. So are the Bulls. 

Orlando v. Philly (1-2)

Correction: Philadelphia is using the  "no one believes in us" card. The Magic need someone to finish out games and hit the big shot. Neither Lewis, Turkoglu nor Howard qualifies. None of them want the ball.

Atlanta v. Miami (1-1)

This series is closer than I thought it would be.

Lakers v. Utah (2-1)

I thought this would be lopsided. But The Lakers will still win this series. It just wont be the quick sweep I predicted.

Denver v. New Orleans (2-0)

Billups has kept the good times going. He has been scoring and scoring.

San Antonio v. Dallas (1-2)

Still have yet to actually care. May Dallas win the next 3 games so this series will be over. 

Portland v. Houston

The antithesis of the aforementioned series. I love watching these two teams. But I beleive in the Rockets more than I did a few days ago. Watching Artest (one of my favorite current players) is great. Seeing him in the Rockets uniform is better. Seeing him doing well and leading the Rockets to the promised land is priceless.  And by promised land I mean the second round. 

Needless to say, I'm flip-flopping a lot regarding this series. 

Thank you

NBA Playoffs

Cleveland v. Detroit

Cleveland in 4 Nothing to see here, move along

Boston v. Chicago

Boston in 6. Honestly, I haven’t really watched the Bulls this year. But if the Bulls won this series I wouldn’t be too surprised. Either way, neither of these teams will beat the Magic.

Orlando v. Philly

Orlando in 5 I think Philadelphia could win one but Orlando has the  “no one believes in us” card this year

Atlanta v. Miami

When Miami wins, is it ok to call it an upset? I didn’t think so either

Miami in 5

Lakers v. Utah

Lakers in 4 (See Cleveland v. Detroit)

Denver v. New Orleans

Funny how the addition of Chauncey Billups changes the entire landscape of the Rocky Mountain Squad. Billups will keep the good times going. But picking against the Hornets bothers me deeply.

Denver in 6

San Antonio v. Dallas

I wont be watching these games at all

Dallas in 6.

Portland v. Houston

These are my two favorite teams. There are two problems with their seeding.

1) Portland is one of the hottest teams, and a team I predicted to go far. Houston is another team I predicted to do well but at the end, despite being my favorite team, they’re still the Rockets.

2) Whoever wins this matchup gets to play the Lakers. I can’t pick against the Lakers with a straight face this year. (Until the NBA finals at least

Portland in 7

Thank you

Bold Predictions

1. The Houston Rockets will make it out of the first round of the playoffs. 

2. AJ Burnett and Petitte will have more combined wins than Sabathia and Wang

4. The Rays and Yankees will be in the playoffs this year, and the Sox won't

5. The Dodgers or the Angels will make the playoffs, not both. 

6. Celtics wont make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

More coming when the NBa Playoff seedings come out.
