No Mock Draft.. just thoughts

The First round of the NFL Draft starts in less then 2 hours, and this year I am not doing a mock draft. Just don't want to, but I have some thoughts/predictions

Cam Newton will not go first overall.. In fact, I like him to fall out of the top ten

Andy Dalton will be the best QB in this class

Prince and Patrick Peterson are both studs

I hope my Giants get OL help

Mark Ingram will be a very good NFL RB

Panthers are not going to be sold on either of the QB, and have one more year of Moore/Clausen and take AJ Green

Von Miller will win the defensive rookie of the year next year

Julio Jones will win the offensive rookie of the year next year

Former CMU TE turned Wisconsin DE JJ Watts will be a top 15 pick

The Lions will draft someone that Chaz, Phil and Potter don't like


Enjoy.. it's Draft Day..... BABY!!!!!!!I'm right, you're wrong

NBA Playoff Picks

The NBA playoffs are set and begin this weekend, so it is time for my NBA playoff picks


East:

1) Bulls vs. 8) Pacers- Pacers thanks for making the playoffs, bye. Bulls sweep

2) Heat vs 7) 76ers- I would love if the 76ers win, and I think they will, one game, Heat in 5

3) Celtics vs. 6) Knicks- Some think the Knicks will give Boston problems, I don't, they don't defend and they don't rebound that means you don't win in the playoffs. they do have enough scoring to win two games however. Boston in 6

4) Magic vs. 5) Hawks- The Hawks took 3 out of 4 from the Magic, and that one win was in November... so Hawks win in a upset right? wrong. Magic in 7 however.

1) Bulls vs 4) Magic- Bulls have D Rose, the Magic do not. Bulls in 6

2) Heat vs 3) Celtics- Boston has one last run in them, I'm telling you this now. Celtics in 6

1) Bulls vs 3) Celtics- Too big of a jump for the Bulls to make the finals, this year is a learning experience for a young team and a rookie head coach, next year, watch out. Celtics in 6


West:

1) Spures vs 8) Griz- Manu is out, we will see for how long, I think either way the Griz wins a game, that is all, Spurs in 5

2) Lakers vs. 7) Horents- Quick PG usually give the Lake Show problems, but the Lakers swept NO during the season, they will win in 5 in this series

3) Mavs vs. 6) Blazers- I think this will be a good series. I don't like Dallas, and the Blazers are a very good team. Blazers in 6

4) Thunder vs. 5) Denver- This one will be fun to watch, lots and lots of scoring. But give me Durant over anyone on Denver. Thunder wins in 7

1) Spurs vs. 4) Thunder- Can the young Thunder do it? Sure, will they? I think so, the Spurs played so well before the All Star break but are wearing down. OK takes it in 6

2) Lakers vs 6) Blazers- Should be a good series, give Portland two games, Lakers in 6

2) Lakers vs 4) Thunder- it was a great series in the first round last year, this one will be good too. Durant is going to be special, but Kobe and friends still can get it down. Lakers in 7


Finals:

2) Lakers vs. 3) Celtics- One more time! it is what we want, at least I do. I believe I went with the Lakers before the season, and I will stay with it. Lakers in 6

I'm right, you're wrong

NHL Playoff Picks

The NHL Playoffs are set and begin on Wednesday, so with that in mind, here are my playoff picks. (Remember the NHL reseeds after each round)


East:

1) Washington vs 8) NY Rangers- The Caps have had a few great regular seasons in a row and nothing to show for it in the playoffs, will this year be different? The Rangers have beat the Caps 3 out of 4 times this year, including 6-0 and 7-0, but even though I don't think the Caps will win the cup,they will get by the Rangers in 6.

2) Philia vs 7)Buffalo- The season series is tied at two, but Phili is the better team and I don't think it is close. Give Buffalo a game, Phili in 5.

3) Boston vs 6)Montreal- The Canadians took 4 of 6 from the B's in the season series and there are usually a few lower seeds who win, and I see this as one of them, Montreal in 6.

4) Pit vs 5)Tampa Bay- I like the Lighting here as well for a few reasons, one, I don't like Pit, and two, who knows with Crosby. Lighting in 6.



1) Washington vs 6) Montreal- It is good for hockey when the Canada teams are good, and I would love the Canadians to win, but I like the Caps to win in 6

2) Phili vs 5) Tampa Bay- I like the Lighting but Phili has a team built from the playoffs. Phili in 6


1) Washington vs. 2) Phili- Is this the year? Can the Caps make the finals? I think they can. Caps win in 7 in a tough tough series


West:

1) Vancouver vs. 8) Blackhawks- The defending champs get in, thanks to Dallas loosing to the Wild last night, and have eliminated Vancouver the last three years. The teams did split four games this season, but the playoffs are something very different. But this year I think Vancouver is too good. They win in 5

2) San Jose vs. 7) LA Kings- A nice all California series should be fun out west. The series is tied at 3 during the year, though the Sharks did just win 6-1 on April 4th, and that is one of the reasons I like the Sharks in 6

3) Red Wings vs. 6) PHX- Last year the Wings eliminated PHX in the playoffs, and this year they will do it again. Yeah I'm a big Red Wings fan, so of course I am going to pick them, but Wings in 5

4) Ducks vs. 5) Nashville- I like Nashville to win this series in 6, as they have won 3 out of 4 during the season


1) Vancouver vs 5) Nashville- Vancouver is too good, they really are. They win in 6.

2) San Jose vs. 3) Red Wings- It's tough to go out west, but last year the Sharks needed the Wings season, not again. Wings find a way to win in 6


1) Vancouver vs. 3) Red Wings- Of course I want the Wings to win, and will be cheering loud for them. I think they can win, and I have faith in them, but if I had to make a pick that I would bet on, I have to take Vancouver in 7.


Stanley Cup Finals

1) Vancouver vs 1) Washington- Lets be honest, the two #1 seeds will not both make it, so I will be wrong with this, but I will stick with it for now. Vancouver will take the cup home, it is there year. They win in 6.

I'm right, you're wrong
