1. Bruins:

* As pointed out by many – yet another closeout game that the Bruins lose
* I have never seen a team miss the net as much as the Bruins
* Jagr, Seguin and Marchand 0-63 on shots
* Lucic can skate when he wants to – still the turnovers though
* When was the last time Seguin beat someone one on one – he is no Rick Middleton
* Jagr is a MINUS 3

2. Red Sox:

* Red Sox were 3-34 this weekend with men in scoring position
* Lester and Buchholz 11-0 on May 13th
* Buchholz is on pace for 254 innings, which isn’t top 50 in Red Sox history
* Sox on pace for 94 wins Continue reading Connelly’s Top Ten: Boston Teams Continue To Lose »

Before the Bruins beat the Maple Leafs 5-2 Monday night, a classy Maple Leafs fan made a fool of himself and his city, holding up a sign mocking Boston Strong, our city’s rallying cry after the Boston Marathon bombings:

I think we have finally found the city to host the burial of Tamerlan Tsarnaev. Anyone agree?

Golden State pulled off a huge upset against the favored Nuggets; can they do the same against a well-rested San Antonio squad? (http://tactwarrior.com/)

The NBA is down to its final eight teams, and it was a fun first round to get to this point. Three lower seeded teams won their series, despite all eight losing Game 1. New York and OKC were given scares, while San Antonio and Miami (with 2013 League-MVP LeBron James) rolled to sweeps.

The second round looks to be very competitive, so we’re here to bring you our picks. The aforementioned, well-rested Heat and Spurs are picked to once more roll on to the final four. The Thunder and Knicks are also favored, but their resilient Round 1 opponents have cost them a bit of favor in the next round.

As before, correctly guessing a series winner is worth two points, while guessing how many games a series will last is worth one point.

So check below for the picks, and come back once the Conference Championships are set for the results. Continue reading 2013 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: Second Round »

Congratulations to Chicago for gutting out a tough win over Brooklyn. Their prize is a series against a very well-rested Miami Heat. (http://scientopia.org/)

The first round is complete, and had plenty of drama. The Warriors pulled off a big upset against the best home team in the NBA. Houston pushed the Thunder before finally falling in six. The Bulls fought off the Nets in a grueling seven-game series. Now, they have the honor of facing a Miami team that’s had a week off to rest up and prepare. Good luck with that.

The Bulls were the only team to defy the predictions of all five of our panelists, who all had the Nets moving on. One person, though, was able to have the clairvoyance to see Golden State’s victory, which certainly helped out their cause. Memphis and Los Angeles were entertaining to watch as expected. Only two panelists picked the Grizzlies, but all five knew it would be close.

So where does this leave everyone after the first round is done? Check below for the results, and check back Monday for the second round selections. Continue reading 2013 NBA Playoffs Expert Picks: First Round Results »
