Amusing NBA Playoff Prediction by Sports Radio Jock

I was listening to one of the sports talk radio stations the other day, and the announcer on duty was talking about the two NBA playoff series that had just begun.  At the time, Miami was leading Boston in their series 1-0 and San Antonio had a 2-0 advantage over Oklahoma City in theirs.  Each series will last until one team or another wins four games.  Yet this announcer, who apparently draws a paycheck for running his mouth at this cushy radio job, flat-out decided that both series are ALREADY OVER.  With home court advantage being important in basketball, it was to be expected that both Miami and San Antonio would win their home games.  Yet this dude gave the series to Miami after only one game being played at the time...

Tonight we have progressed a little further with each series.  And surprise, surprise, after each favorite winning their home contests, both of them lost on their opponents' court.  So Miami and San Antonio each have a 2-1 lead in their respective series, with San Antonio playing again at Oklahoma City tonight.  Don't be surprised if that series is knotted up at two wins apiece after that game is over.  But, no... it doesn't matter what happens: San Antonio and Miami have ALREADY won their series.  Sure thing, pal...
