There will be a Game 7 to watch this Sunday, as Boston & Atlanta will fight for the chance to face Cleveland in the 2nd round.

The Hawks went just 2-5 on the road in April & haven’t beaten a playoff team on the road since their March 17th win against the Wizards.

I think Boston will win Game 7 & move on to play Cleveland. As for a series prediction between the Celtics & Cavs, i’m picking Boston in 6.

Congratulations to Los Angeles Lakers guard Kobe Bryant, who is the winner of the 2007-08’s Most Valuable Player award.

Until then,
