Mr. Rasmusson,

As moderator of this blog, I respectfully ask you to confine your comments regarding your baseball predictions to the appropriate topic post. This topic post revolves around basketball, and while it is true that Brad is the only person who remotely cares what happens this season (other than when Dwayne Wade is on the floor), this forum must be kept free for mocking Brad when his basketball picks turn out as successful as his football picks.

I hope you understand that you are being asked to take your comments elsewhere - not because we think you are a lucky son of a bitch and don't want to give you the time of the day nor your due praise - but instead to make readability of this forum much easier to the general public.

Thank you for your time.

I think Dirk Nowitzki disagrees with your assessment about the NBA Champion being the best NBA team, but he's a cry baby.

I think the NHL post season is a good crucible for testing NHL teams and that the NHL champion is usually the best team. The real problem is that the regular season which isn't a good predictor of post season success.

Some hockey critics will say the NHL playoffs are a crapshoot, because all a team needs is a hot goalie. That's partially true, but it's no accident that the hottest goalie has usually been named Roy, Belfour, and Brodeur.
