I know I said no more entries until mid-June. However, I THINK I’ve got the iBlog situation taken care of. And, by mid-June, the NBA Finals will be mostly over and I’ll have lost my one chance to lay down my prediction.

Since I’ve been doing so well in my predictions so far this (NCAA National Championship, Super Bowl) why miss out on the chance to weigh in one this…especically since it involves my Dallas Mavericks.

So, with one game already down, here’s how I now see this series unfolding….

— Miami has Shaq and Wade.
— Dallas had Dirk and nine other incredible players

— Contain Shaq and Wade, you shut Miami down
— Contain Dirk, there are nine other guys that will kill you

— Shaq can’t shoot free throws and neither can his team.
— Dallas excels at them.

Prediction (and I know this will stun some):

Dallas wins in five games.

I just don’t seem Miami being able to contain Dallas. Dallas will adjust to whatever Miami throws out there. Miami can’t. Dallas is still being under-rated as the old “soft” team they used to be.

Dallas wins game two. Dallas loses one in Miami.

And that’ll be it.
