King Kaufman spits the bit on NBA Finals picks

Houston over Detroit?

Houston’s just one serious injury away from being the Houston of last year, or the year before, or the year before that. Yes, the addition of Artest will help and the development of Scola will help some.

But, I think the Rockets will still be looking up at the Lakers and Jazz, at the least, and possibly the Spurs.

The Pistons? About five years removed from a title, with many of the same players still there and now five years older. Even less likely than the Rockets; I expect age to be a factor.

And, picking a team based on a midseason deal you “think Joe Dumars (will) make”? Dude, you’re just engaged in wishful thinking with an attempt to rationalize afterward.
