Game Seven Double Up

Alright, so there's two game sevens in Round Two of the NBA Playoffs. The Celtics are playing their second in a row against LeBron and the Cavaliers, and the Spurs are playing the Hornets in a game seven as well. Now, in both of these series, the home team has won EVERY game, and in the Celtics case, they have ONLY won at home and NEVER won on the road... So these facts about the home and away stuff would lead many to pick the two home teams and be done with it. Though, I have other ideas. I thought that the Celtics would blow through the first two rounds of the playoffs with no problem. However, they have struggled mightily, and are now playing in their second game seven in two series. As for the Spurs, I also thought that they would blow through the first two rounds, and maybe even three rounds, though they have had some trouble winning at New Orleans so far. Anyways, here are the predictions for the two game sevens taking place in Round Two:

Cleveland Cavaliers 87, Boston Celtics 80
Yes, I'm actually taking the Cavs in game seven. I know it's in Boston, and I know the Celtics are probably the most talented team in the NBA, and I know that even I took the Celtics to win the series at the beginning. Though, the X factor in this decision was the fact that the Cavs have LeBron James... and really, thats all they need. He will once again show his brilliance and win his first ever game seven on Sunday when he (almost singlehandedly) beats Boston with 36 points, 16 rebounds, and 45% shooting. Just watch, because it's gonna be a blast.

San Antonio Spurs 89, New Orleans Hornets 78
Yes, I have just taken another road team. Though this time I'm sticking with my initial pick, the Spurs. I had them winning it in six, so I guess I may have underestimated the Hornets by a little bit, but, I mean come on... there's no way that the defending champs are going down the the Hornets. CP3 is great and all, but they're the freaking Spurs, and the Hornets will not be the team to knock them off. Tim Duncan will once again have an amazing game, and Parker will show up as well, and through those two superstars, the Spurs will advance to the Western Conference Finals to set up what should be a great series against the Los Angeles Lakers.

Alright, as for the two game fives in the NHL...

Deroit Red Wings 3, Dallas Stars 2
Yeah, the Wings will close this one out in five. The only reason they lost game four was so they could bring it back to Detroit to earn some more revenue for the Illitch family. Off to the finals they go. And they'll win in the finals too, in case you were wondering.

Philadelphia Flyers 2, Pittsburgh Penguins 1
Yeah, I'm taking my Fly Boys to win in Pittsburgh to force a game six back in Philly. I'm really hoping that Flyers pointmen Kimmo Timonen and Branden Coburn will be able to return to shut down the Penguin attack. Marty Biron will also have a huge game in this win.

Thats about it though. The Tigers are horrible, and they dropped what should have been a win to Arizona last night, 4-3. Nationals are bad too, but they're supposed to be bad. Haha, yeah, thats it though. I'm out. Peace.
