    I can't believe that not even stein (a dallas guy) had the mavs winning. I personally thought dallas would win in 6.

    At the start of the series, who honestly would have picked AGAINST the Lakers though?

    I know on the CF poll, I picked Lakers in 6.

    nobody could've predicted a sweep for either teams

    btw, I think its premature for their giveaway shirts saying "The Time Is Now" with the Larry O'Brian trophy and they're not even in the finals yet.....

    So how many people can honestly say they expected the Mavs to win the series? I can't blame the ESPN guys at all on this one. Nobody needs to be fired for missing on this series.

    pretty much thesr whole playoffs these "experts" chose all the better seeded/favorites to win. no balls or integrity to call an upset

    Lol exactly.

    There were few thinking the Mavs were going to win, and i'm sure NO ONE thought the Lakers would get swept.

    Good lord it's a prediction. I guess most experts expected the Lakers to play better like most people who watch basketball period.

    To say these guys should be fired over this is dumb. There is a reason why so many people are shocked.
