This guy! Thats right readers, if you remember last week I made some bold 1st round NBA playoff predictions in my It’s Time for Obvious Playoff Predictions post. I predicted the 8 winners to be Boston, Detroit, Cleveland, Orlando, LA, New Orleans, San Antonio and Utah - all of whom won. The only real nail biter was Boston over Atlanta, primarily because Ray Allen is shooting 2 for 78 in the playoffs to date (way to represent Seattle). But right is right. So if any gambling websites allow you to bet on a series after it is approximately halfway through, let me be your guide to wealth. Here are Round 2’s Obvious Playoff Predictions:
Boston vs Cleveland: Boston stopped Joe Johnson in their first round series and made the other guys score. Unfortunately for Boston, Joe Johnson is about a third of the man LeBron James is. Unfortunately for The LeBrons, the King himself was horrific from the field shooting 2 for 18 in game 1. Unfortunately for Boston, despite LeBrons misery the Celts still only won by FOUR. These teams make me want to vomit. If this keeps up the West is going to sweep whatever pathetic excuse for a team the East sends to the finals. I hated watching this game. And I hate writing about it even more. Boston moves on.
Detroit vs Orlando: More boring East teams. God I hate the east. Blah. Detroit moves on because I don’t want to talk about it anymore.
San Antonio vs New Orleans: I love Chris Paul. My ACC brother. What’s up SON! And Julian Wright is my new favorite rookie. Can you imagine a Kansas squad with him still on it? I don’t know who those other guys on their team are, but I don’t think it matters. San Antonio looks crazy slow and my 1st and 2nd least favorite ball players (Bruce Bowen because he’s a bitch-ass and Manu Ginobli because he is so ugly and has that bald spot) are on the team, so we know they ain’t gonna win. New Orleans moves on.
Utah vs LA Lakers: I think Utah is just joking with us that they are even playing in this series. I don’t particularly like the LA personalities, but Utah just sucks. If Karl Malone and John Stockton couldn’t get it done, their is no way Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer are going to. Boozer is from Alaska for shits sake and he went to college at the albatross of atrocious professional basketball players known as Duke (their best two ever, Grant Hill and Elton Brand both needed crutches to make it past their 6th NBA season). LA moves on.
See you in round 3.
