Well I am back once again with a look at the goings on in the world of sports, because of all that is going on with baseball I will analyze that sport and give my predictions for the rest of the year in that sport tomorrow. Today I will look at all other sports including the NBA Finals which start tonight.
MMA- After two great cards this past month the UFC is currently building towards possibly its strongest summer ever headlined By Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin, two freakish 265 pound plus athletes, on July 3rd and their debut in Boston in late August. While Boxing is still waiting for Pac Man and Mayweather to agree to fight, which may not even happen. so Pac Man can destroy Mayweather. More proof MMA is a better stronger sport.
Football- Recently there was some major news regarding the future of the league, no not the Ravens signing Shayne Graham although that is a big pickup for the ravens. I am talking about super bowl 48 being awarded to New York/New Jersey, which I feel is a huge mistake. First of all this one time waiver where the NFL ignored the requirement for a super bowl host to either have a dome or an average february temperature of 50 degrees makes no sense it was only waived because it is New York. Also do people in the mid-atlantic remember that 4 months ago the week of the super bowl we had two blizzards and 30 inches of snow now what if that happens in 2014 not only will the game suck and the fans not be able to get there but the week leading up to it, a major part of the super bowl, will suck. This is on top of the fact that 3 years ago when the Bears and Colts met in a rain storm people complained that the game was tainted and boring but it is ok if it snows in the 2014 super bowl because it is in New York and New York Jr.
NHL- These playoffs have been great as have these cup finals further proof why the NHL playoffs are the greatest in all of sports.
NBA- The NBA got its wish as the Lakers and Celtics will meet in the finals for the 12th time. This is also the 2nd time in the past 5 years that the last 2 champs meet in the finals (2005-Spurs beat Pistons in a 7 game classic). This is also rematch of the 2008 finals where the Celtics bullied the Lakers on the way to a 6 game victory. This series i see being a repeat of that as the Celtics are just too physical for the Lakers especially in the paint with Perkins, Davis, Garnett, and the X-factor Rasheed Wallace. Also Andrew Bynum, who did not play in 2008, is injured and wont make a big impact neither will Ron Artest who has for the most part struggled this series and struggles against Paul Pierce. The biggest mismatch in this series is not Kobe vs. Ray Allen it is Rajon Rondo vs. Derrick Fisher. I see the Celtics, who are very balanced and agreat road team, winning their 18th championship in 6 games with Rondo the MVP.
