So the Pistons won it in 5, just as I predicted. That bit of forecasting was obvious, so now let’s go out on a limb and predict a Bush victory in November based on NBA logic. The Pistons are the working class team without a superstar, guys who follow their coach’s leadership and play as a well-oiled machine. They beat the flashy, pampered, narcissistic Lakers by putting their heads down and doing what had to be done, and Kobe’s team had no dramatic come-from-behind moves left by the last game.
Hollywood’s team lost in Detroit, and Hollywood’s candidate will lose as well.
