Alright, I finally broke the rule. Now this blog has more than the other one. Oh well. This is a little bit late, but I promise I didn't change my guesses even though each series has already had one game played. The Celtics beat the Pistons in game one in Boston, and the Lakers came back from like 20 down to beat the Spurs in game one of their series in LA. Anyways, I got all of my picks right last series, and I only got one wrong in the first round when I took the Mavericks over the Hornets, so I'm 11 for 12 so far in these 2008 NBA Playoffs. However, I am really not confident in either of my picks for this round because both of the match ups are so tight, that it could easily go the other way in either series. They're both going to be great to watch, and I'm pretty sure that both are what the TV stations wanted. And then of course we all know that ABC (the station that will be showing all the the games in The Finals this year) wants the Celtics and Lakers to win out so they can have that crazy popular match up in The Finals this year. Anyways, here are the picks for Round Three:
#2 Detroit Pistons over #1 Boston Celtics in 7
Yes, I'm taking the Pistons. I'm sticking with the hometown team here on this one because I believe that they are just more experienced than the Celtics. They've been here in the conference finals six years in a row, with basically the same core of guys for all six of those years, give or take a Wallace. The Celtics are a great team, and thats why I'm taking them to win three games in this series, though after Boston winning three at home and Detroit winning three at home, Boston's third game seven in a row will just be too much for the them, and the Pistons will be able to take over the game and take the series in seven.
#1 Los Angeles Lakers over #3 San Antonio Spurs in 6
I don't know why I'm going against my pre-season finals pick. At the beginning of both last year and this year I said it was going to be a Spurs vs Pistons final. Last year the Spurs got there and the Pistons just missed out. Though I have a feeling that it's going to be the other way around this year. I don't know whay, but I just have a feeling that Kobe will be able to beat the aging and tired Spurs. It's going to be one of those things where if the Lakers win, I'll be like "I told you!! Oh man that was an amazing pick!!" but if the Spurs win, I'll be like "Why the hell did I change my mind? I'm such a dumbass!!" Haha, well, that's my final pick. 2004 Finals rematch instead of a 2005 Finals rematch.
That's about it from me. Nice job by the Wings getting to the Cup Finals. I'll post that prediction article in a little bit. Tigers are sorta heating up, and they won again today against a bad Mariners team, 9-2. And my fantasy baseball team has now jumped up to 4th place!! I was in dead last for like the entire first month and a half of the season, and I made a few changes, and I'm shooting up in the standings. That's about it from me. I gotta go play some street hockey. Peace.
