At some point in time, the Boston Celtics need to win a road playoff game. The Celtics will not, repeat WILL NOT, win the NBA Championship by going 16-12 in the playoffs (their record if they win every series in 7). Now would also probably be a good time for Ray Allen to introduce himself to the team again, as he has virtually disappeared here recently. But, I have the Pistons winning the series anyway in 6.
Ask any of my colleagues at work (or anyone else who will listen to me) and I said the Spurs were going to defeat the Hornets in the Western Conference semifinals. I am crazy like a fox. The Spurs moved on, the Hornets are enjoying some gumbo. The Hornets will be back, make no mistake about it, but Chris Paul needs some scoring help from the 2 or the 3. Peja Stojakovic and Morris Peterson are not the answer. The only problem is I don't know what the Hornets can deal without breaking up their nucleus. Back to the Lakers and Spurs series, a lot of people are really high on the Lakers. I think they are good but not championship good yet. I like the Spurs in 6 to knock down the Lakers. Then, David Stern's smile turns upside down, as the dream of LA-Boston (the nostalgia and the big TV markets) are gone and San Antonio plays Detroit in the non anticipated finals.
Being a Yankees fan, I am not panicking. Some I am sure are, but I am not in that mass. The Yankees have been banged up (A-Rod, Posada, and now maybe Derek Jeter) and the young pitchers (Phillip Hughes and Ian Kennedy) have not materialized as expected. I am a man of reason and patience, therefore that is why I am not in panic mode. Hank Steinbrenner doesn't subscribe to the Bob Alvis panic mode. I expect changes could becoming shortly. I don't know what those changes are going to be, but Hank doesn't seem like the type to stand pat.
Until next time..
