Final Four Predictions

These are my four teams in the 2010 Final Four at Lucas Oil Stadium.
1.Kansas
2. Kentucky
3. Purdue
4. Syracuse

So, I say it will be all number 1 seeds again this year in the Final Four. Here are my predictions for the matchups. (Information from ESPN's Bracketology)
Kansas vs Kentucky, Kentucky X Factors: John Wall and Demarcus Cousins
Purdue vs Syracuse, Purdue X Factors: defense and more depth

National Title Game Kentucky vs Purdue, Kentucky
The reason why I have the Wildcats winning the National Title over Purdue is one simple reason, John Wall. I don't see anyone on Purdue who could contain him. When they double-team Wall he just pass it Demarcus Cousins. Even though it will literatly be a home game for the Boilermakers at Lucas Oil Stadium, it will be just be too much for Purdue to overcome against Kentucky. What a coincedence if the Pacers win the lottery and draft John Wall.

NBA Finals Prediction

My prediction for the NBA Finals is the Orlando Magic vs Dallas Mavericks. People will be shocked when they here this, but those teams are going to catch fire. The Mavs traded for Caron Butler, Deshawn Stevenson, and Brendan Haywood which will help. The Magic have Dwight Howard and Vince Carter enough said there that good.

On the other hand here are my predictions for this matchup according to the EvanScale.
PG: Kidd vs Nelson, Kidd (Mavericks)
SG: Butler vs Carter, Carter (Magic)
SF: Marion vs Barnes, Marion (Mavericks)
PF: Nowitzki vs Lewis, Nowitzki (Mavericks)
C: Haywood vs Howard, Howard (Magic)

Predictions by the EvanScale Dallas win in a 7 game series.

DeMar Derozan is the True Slam Dunk Champion

It sure didn't feel like anyone showed up to compete in the 2010 Slam Dunk Contest besides DeMar Derozan.

He was definitely robbed of the championship last night. How can you lose when you pull off the only 50 of the night?! I don't think fans should vote -- the judges should decide.

The only reason why Nate Robinson won the dunk contest is because people know him.

Trust me, does anyone know DeMar Derozan anywhere else besides Canada or California? Just because he missed his last dunk, (but then recovered after that) doesn't mean he should lose.

All I have to say is, DeMar Derozan, you were robbed of a slam dunk championship.
