I made a prediction about a week ago predicting LeBron James' numbers in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals. I was almost spot-on. He finished with 30 points, 13 rebounds, two assists, one block, and two steals. He shot 11-25 from the, 2-6 from three-point range, and 6-8 from the line. If you want to see what I predicted, just click here. Well, I am at it again. I … [Read more...] about NBA Finals: Game 2 statistical prediction for LeBron James

What the offseason might have in store for the Indiana Pacers
With the highly anticipated NBA Finals between the Miami Heat and the Oklahoma City Thunder now under way, a thought randomly popped into my head: It wasn't very long ago that I was thinking the Pacers could conceivably be playing in this series.

And boy, … [Read more...] about NBA Finals: Heat v. Thunder Preview

Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat: everything you need to know
Well, here is the Miami Heat for the second year in a row: the Eastern Conference Finals.
