um, ahem, actually, i did predict a sweep in my nba playoff pool entry... but i agree with everything you say here sausage king...

and truly, once the pistons reminded me of the kind of playoff team they really are (i.e. once the regular season drugs wore off -- probably in game 4 of the cleveland series), i revised my own private prediction for miami: detroit in 6 (including losing one in detroit). so detroit in 6...or 7. but detroit for sure. definitely. no doubts. detroit. detroit in 6... or 7.
