A Blog that Lies

Comments on Second Round- With insane Steve Nash passes to the awesome plays from King James, the second round contained the most intense action yet. Probably the best basketball was played with Spurs and Suns series. This series was the roughest and fun to watch yet with all the bloodshed and flagrant fouls. The other series were boring and plain compared to that series. Hopefully, the best basketball hasn’t passed us yet.East Conference Finals
Detroit Pistons vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Last year, Detroit Pistons went up 3-0 against the Cavaliers, and then the Cavaliers forced a 7th game. With this horrible nightmare behind them, I think the Pistons will stay focused and deliver the win. They’re just way too experienced for the Cavaliers; this is the 5th straight season they’ve gone to the conference finals. The Cavaliers have only one major threat which is Lebron James. However, Lebron isn’t even that big of a threat to the Pistons. With big guys like Dale Davis, Tayshaun Prince, and Jason Maxiel, Lebron will have a tough time scoring. Pistons have proved time and time again that they’re the most balanced team in the NBA. Every starter knows how to do their job, and their bench is fairly impressive. On top of that, they have home court and experience, that’s just too overwhelming for a one-man team. Pistons win it in 5.

West Conference Finals
Utah Jazz vs. San Antonio Spurs
Probably the best match-up in this series is Boozer against Duncan. They have been both monstrous in their previous series. In the other match-ups, the Spurs are clearly more dominant. Fisher and Williams have to step up to the plate if the Jazz want a slight chance. Manu Ginobili on the bench is very dangerous and combined with Bruce Bowen’s awesome 3’s, the future does not look bright for the Jazz. The Spurs win it in 6.

NBA Finals
It looks like the Spurs will have a rematch with the Pistons. If that does happen, the NBA finals’ rating will go way down like the last time they played. Both teams have grown since then and are very evenly matched. They will take it to 7 games but expect 70-80 point games with their defenses.
