NBA playoffs 2008 conference finals

Since the series has already started, it might be a little too late to share my predictions but i’ll do it anyway.. :)

regarding my past predictions, i was 2 out of 4 correct,.. honestly, i am disappointed with the CAVS vs BOS game 7. I thought it would be another history in the making kind of game but James was left behind by his teammates. And I also have to give credit to the Celtics captain, Paul Pierce, for overcoming LeBron James. I absolutely underestimated Boston and after defeating the Cavs seeing them in the finals will be no surprise at all.

As for Chris Paul and the Hornets, this was less suprising game 7 since experience is still a major factor in the playoffs and the Spurs have tons of it. The defending champs would never give up a fight so a lot of big guys stood up.  The Hornets is a young team and for a young team to make it this far in the playoffs is something. I’ll be looking forward for Chris Paul again and next time, they will definitely win.

Here’s my predictions:

BOS vs DET – BOS wins 4-3 (BOS currently 2-1)

LA vs SA – LA wins 4-3 (LA currently 2-0)

The Pistons and Spurs are fresh from winning championship games so it will definitely be a fight till the end. The Lakers and Celtics on the otherhand have rebuild their team to reach the top spot in their conference gaining home court advantage. So far, home court advantage is a question in ths series knowing the Lakers were down 20 in the first half while the Celtics lost in game2. But if big players like Kobe and KG goes on fire, their team is going to win this. History is going to repeat itself when this happens,.. :)

**I’m back here in Baguio Ciyt, hurrah!**
