NHL/NBA- Road battles

Much to my chagrin, the Penguins lost last night in Philadelphia. They made a game of it in the third period, but couldn’t quite go the distance. Tough loss, but I think it may be good for them in the long run. Nobody said a Stanley Cup run would be easy, and they could use a little adversity to prepare for Detroit in the finals. Philly may take one more, but they’re done for the year. Same goes for Dallas. Good showing, nonetheless.
Game 5 prediction: 4-2 Penguins victory. Beer-showered Flyers in the box: 1.

“A LeBron James team is never desperate.” True, but when you’re one loss away from being eliminated in the Eastern semifinal round, it may be time to stifle the swagger…if the Celtics can finally pull one out on the road. Here’s hoping.
Prediction: 94-87 Boston victory. Posterized Cav’s: 4.
