The biggest surprise here isn't that I picked Philly to beat Detroit, it's that I would pick the city of Philadelphia to do something well ever again after the garbage they've given us over the past 3 days. A win over the caps on Tuesday, a disgrace of a debate on Wednesday, and then a completely undeserved spirit crushing 2OT win over the caps on Thursday. Seriously, has there ever been a city that produced more disgusting acts in such a short period of time? Ughh. Oh yeah, and for the record, will somebody please wrap Danny Briere's spine around the crossbar next time he tries to touch Huet in front of net? Brash? Erskine? Thanks. Oh yeah, and speaking of Brashear, if you're like me and were thrilled to find out that he has an NBA playoffs Pool, here's the link.

Finals MVP: Pau Gasol
As much as I hate the Lakers, I don't see another team matching their quality depth. Plus Gasol and Kobe are hard matchups for pretty much anyone. And I can't see a team coached by Doc Rivers ever winning a title.
Oops, I meant Celtics over Hawks in 4
ReplyDeleteL, if I were making a bet right now, I gotta say I agree. The Lakers are going to be really tough to beat, and it's definitely my heart (And blinding rage towards Chris Wallace) picking the suns. And the thought that they're doing this without Bynum is really frightening.
ReplyDeleteAnd as for doc, it didn't stop Bill Self from taking those bitches to the title game! Why can't doc do the same? And by the way, I'm surprised you haven't given yourself the credit you deserve for winning Kansas a national title. Once the word gets out about your speech they'll be building statues all across Kansas in your honor.
Haha, I won't take credit for Kansas winning it all. Hell, I didn't have enough confidence in my prediction to pick them myself (I only said they would make it to the title game).
ReplyDeleteAlthough an lsouth statue on campus would fit in nicely with the wonderful Jayhawk hoops tradition.
I also said Kansas would win because Danny Manning was their assistant coach and it was the 20th anniversary of his magical run to the title in '88.
I need to stop making predictions before I run out of luck, bet all your money against my NBA picks.
I'm going with my original pick, Celtics in 7. Who knew?
