NBA Finals Open Thread

by Will on June 4, 2009

Got any wild predictions? Irresponsible betting advice? An over/under for the number of times Kobe sneers at no one in particular after draining another nasty jumper? I’m tentatively picking the Lakers in six, but after a surprisingly unpredictable playoff season, all bets are off. Sound off in comments with your own thoughts.

I’m totally a Lakers fan (since about 1999 anyways) but I get the feeling the Magic are going to win the series. The Lakers absolutely need Odom and one of their three point guards to play well. I just don’t see that happening consistently, but I hope I’m wrong.

Yeah, I could definitely see the Magic stealing the series if their three point shots are following and Howard plays well. Not inconceivable, given how they’ve played of late.

My favorite predictions thus far are those from Supersonicsoul (okay, they’re more desires than predictions, but they’re awesome).

A) Rashard Lewis averages 25 points and scores the winning 3-pointer in Game 6.

B) While gesturing at a teammate for failing to get him the ball in the fourth quarter, Kobe Bryant accidentally elbows himself in the face, causing him to miss the final two games of the series.
…
E) In Los Angeles, Stan Van Gundy bumps into Ron Jeremy while protesting a technical, resulting in a tear in the time/space continuum.
