I’m getting back into live-blog mode with the NBA Finals approaching (I need a refresher it’s been a while). The game starts at around 8:15pm, so you can expect me around 8. Here’s my pregame thoughts….
I’m thinking that if Chauncey even remotely shows up, this game is a wrap. I don’t know how Daniel Gibson can guard the stonger Billups, but we’ll see. As far as Lebron goes….I think you’ll see an above-average performance for him on the road, but nothing out-of-this-world. He’ll have 14 in the first half, slow start to the 2nd, and finish in the high 20s/low 30s. Gibson cannot and will not repeat that performance a second time…..Detroit is too good defensively. It really doesn’t matter how bad of a coach Flip is when Mike Brown is light-years worse.
The line is Detroit by 5.5. I’m taking the Pistons by 7, 88-81. Lebron keeps it close at the end, but the Pistons hit their free throws and pull away.
Bring with you your drinkin’ caps and livers with you at 8pm, and let me know who you like (and why, you Mark Jacksons!) beforehand in the comments.
Cheers,
AA
P.S.- I’m missing Huey Lewis and the News at Wolftrap for this live-blog….you better show up.*
