Those assumptions, so popular a month ago, that the Lakers and Cavs would meet in the NBA Finals? Don’t look now, but it may not happen, what with Cleveland one loss away from being eliminated in the East. Here are five predictions of what’s in store for Game 6 at Orlando:
5. The Magic will get the benefit of back-to-back close calls. Moments later, David Stern will race onto the court and scream at the officials, “Didn’t you guys get the memo!”
4. Delonte West will step up and prove he isn’t just another pretty tattoo on a face.
3. Cavs coach Mike Brown will threaten to fine anyone not named LeBron for taking a shot in the fourth quarter.
2. A female Magic fan will win a contest and score a kiss from Hedo Turkoglu. Second place will be two kisses from Turkoglu.
1. The Cavs will win and Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, below, will wonder aloud: “Isn’t it bad enough that I’m a dead ringer for Ron Jeremy?”
