My Finals Pick
Now that Detroit has lost in the Conference Finals to Cleveland (I was outraged when it happened), I am forced to change my pick to win the Finals. They were my pick for champion and it really seemed that they were on the right track entering the series versus Cleveland. They had swept Orlando, dominated Chicago, and won the first two games at home. But, somehow, they just lost all that momentum (I’ll write about their team chemistry later on) after losing two in Cleveland.
Then, LeBron took over in Detroit and Daniel Gibson played well in Cleveland to ice the series. Really, Detroit was outplayed in all six games of the series, but Cleveland was not able to take full advantage in games 1 and 2. All I have to say is hats off to Cleveland for coming in focused and prepared to play. They definitely deserved to win. Anyway, I have a new pick to win the Finals:
San Antonio over Cleveland in 6 games
