NBA Finals East vs. West Prediction

[Michigan Girl]

In your first message on this topic you stated that the Celtics were "over rated"...

At this point, I'm not sure it really matters who thought whom was "overrated" or "underrated". It doesn't change the fact that the Celtics are raising banner number 17 to the rafters, and the Lakers are still chasing the Celtics for the lead in banners! The bottom line is the Lakers were simply WAY overmatched in this series, and as it turns out, were the weakest opponent the Celtics faced during their entire playoff run!

Yep!!!

RIR's post did make me go back and look at all of the predictions that were made, initially, and the FUNNY THING....not one correct prediction!!!
John~ I remember you predicting the Celtics in 6, I just didn't realize you had them playing the SPURS!!! Dang, no money for you!!!

Hey, at least I called the Celtics in 6! I simply thought (and still do) that San Antonio was a much stronger team than the Lakers were.

Of course you're correct, but I couldn't resist the cheap shot anyway. You have to take 'em when the opportunity is there. I see the Lakers are already 2 to 1 favorites again next year. I guess the Zen Master is going to pick up some more Euro-weenies to bolster that already sterling defence.

Lakers will be lucky to win 50 games next year.....
