1 Miami Heat vs 3 Indiana Pacers
Predicted Miami in 6, actual result was Miami in 7.
Well, thanks to the coaching of Erik Spoelstra, and a certain play by Chris Birdman Anderson, the Pacers best possible scenario came true. Otherwise Miami in 6 would have come through.
2 San Antonio vs 5 Memphis
Predicted Spurs in 5 actual result was Spurs in 4.
Weird, I predicted a much quicker series than most folks did and yet I was still too long. Overall though, I am also quite satisfied with this pick. All I am generally trying to do is pick the most likely scenario, which in this case happened to be Spurs in 5.
In games 1 and 4 the Spurs had a fairly sizable advantage, in games 2 and 3 the games were much more competitive and both went to overtime. And if you are given 2 theoretical overtime games between somewhat evenly match teams, then the most likely scenario is that each team will win a game. And if that would have occurred than the series would have been at 3-1 in favor of the Spurs, with a home game for the Spurs to (likely) close the series out. Apparently though, the Spurs wanted the sweep instead.
My Finals prediction should be out later today.
