It's time for the 7th annual Bold Predictions segment! I now sit at (2-48) lifetime after going (1-7) last year. As always, I'll continue to make these BOLD as hell (many with multiple things that need to happen), but I have a good feeling about this playoffs. In fact, I bet I'm nailing one of these three below. It's time to get BOLD baby!
BOS/PHI: Celtics AGAIN will win by double figures & Tatum will have a double-double (at the very least). The Sixers really don't stand a chance with Embiid so this will be more of the same. This Celtics squad looks more fierce than those of the recent past & I don't see them laying off the gas any time soon.
SAS/POR: Spurs will AGAIN win by double figures & this time Wemby WILL get a double-double (at the very least.) We all know how this series is going to shake down. Portland would be lucky to win one game.
LAL/HOU: Man, you know how badly I want to stick with the theme and say the Lakers will win again, BUT that's honestly difficult to imagine. It would be BOLD. It would most certainly be wrong. But whatever, let's just imagine a world where they do it again. I'm putting it out there into the world. You read it here first. The Lakers will WIN THIS GAME! That prediction is bold enough without any extras.
*Stay Tuned for the RESULTS posted after the games.
Kennard was the difference in G1. But I doubt he'll have a repeat performance like that. He is Alupin's pick for the day. I was swaying him towards LeBron instead of Kennard but he stuck to his choice saying he has plenty of time to pick LBJ. He also still thinks the wounded Lakers will lose even a G1 win, so I let him be.
ReplyDeleteMy pick: Deni Avdija. Not expecting same 30 points as G1 but I just like the idea that as long as Spurs are winning, they'll let Deni be.
I'm picking Avdija. I think Alupin has the right idea if picking from the Lakers. Grab Kennard while you can. I wish I did it for game 1. Risky though.
ReplyDeleteI got Avdija..probly wont ever pick Kennard
