Predictasplosion Revisited /Doesn’t Give A Shit

Unidentified Cavs players give a thumbs-up to Happy for his predictions so far

Now that we’re halfway through the NBA playoffs and only 4 teams remain, I thought it would be fun* to look back at our predictions from April 17th. Why am I doing this? Oh I think the answer to that question will be quite clear if you continue reading after the jump. And don’t even act like you’re not going to continue reading. You can’t help yourself.

* special torture for all of you

Fetch started off his predictions by saying “I really couldn’t care less, but ok”, then proceeded to get almost everything wrong. A solid effort. Perhaps Fetch should start a college hockey blog or something and leave the big-boy talk to the professionals.

So there you have it. I have proven once and for all that my knowledge of the NBA is far superior to my peers. I suppose if I could do it all over again, I’d predict the Cavs over the Lakers in the finals, buy those are just details, and one’s in which haven’t even been proven wrong yet.

Until then, if you have any questions for MLJ’s resident expert of all things National Basketball Association, please let me know in the comments.
