Default Hear Ye, Hear Ye! Important NBA predictions

Let's have a little fun.

Cleveland will beat Detroit.
Cleveland will beat San Antonio.


It's what Stern wants. He knows there is no better easter conf. vs. western conf. matchup than CLE vs. SAS for the finals. What better way to boost ratings than a stunning upset by "The King".

Mike Brown is 3-1 (2-0 this season) vs. San Antonio in two seasons (his only lost was his 2nd game coaching)
Mike Brown was an assistant under Popovich for their 2003 championship.
LeBron is a big money superstar. Detroit doesn't have any.
Look what Nellie did to Dallas.

You think I root for the Dodgers because they're in first place? Obviously you root for the Giants because you think they're a good team. I've rooted for the Dodgers my whole life, first place or last. You're just a bandwagon jumper. You're not a real fan.

Everytime that I look in the mirror
All these lines on my face gettin clearer
The past is gone
It went by like dust to dawn
Isnt that the way
Everybodys got their dues in life to pay

I know what nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know its everybodys sin
You got to lose to know how to win

Half my life is in books written pages
Live and learn from fools and from sages
You know its true
All the things come back to you

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter, sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away
(x2)

Dream on, dream on
Dream yourself a dream come true
Dream on, dream on
Dream until your dream come true
Dream on, dream on, dream on...

Sing with me, sing for the years
Sing for the laughter and sing for the tears
Sing with me, if its just for today
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away

I'd refute that if it weren't so painfully laughable.



Now, if you'll pardon me, I must clean off the soda that just spewed all over my monitor.

Who got the last laugh when I said the Warriors would beat the Mavs?

Cavs beat Detroit.
San Antonio beats Cavs in 4 by a combined 100 points.
Fewer people in North America watch the NBA Finals than the Stanley Cup finals, because pro basketball sucks.

I'm more in agreement with this post than any of the others so far.

Detroit is a FAR better team than Cleveland...but they are absolutely playing down to their competition right now.

Any one of the Western Conference playoff teams, with the possible exception of the dysfunctional Lakers, would have beaten any one of the Eastern teams in a best of 7 series.

San Antonio won the Finals when Stern handed them game 5 against Phoenix.
