Well, Sports Guy's hilarious pre-emptive running diary of Game 7failed to accurately predict the future, as the Detroit Pistons beat the Miami Heat tonight to set up an NBA Finals between the last two champions of the league, Detroit and the San Antonio Spurs.
That's too bad, because while this has been the most boring playoffs in memory, I was really hoping we'd see a Heat-Spurs final: Shaq vs. Duncan, Wade vs. Ginobili, and all sorts of fascinating subplots. But instead, we're stuck with a bunch of guys who are been there, done that. And not only that, but the survival of the Pistons means we've gotta deal with another week of this Larry Brown nonsense.
Oh well, look for Miami to improve their supporting cast in the offseason for an ultimately successful run next year.
