Okay. So I'm wrong more often than right. Yeah I thought the Cowboys were going to win the Super Bowl and DeMarcus Ware was going to be the Super Bowl MVP. In my defense, I did no research. I was still on World Series hangover. (Come to think of it, I still am and it's AWESOME!)
But occasionally, I do know what I'm talking about. As seen in this facebook post on my friend's wall : Ryan Matsuura Lie. Giants will win the World Series in the next five years.

(If you want the context, he was talking about a Yankee monopoly on baseball. Ridiculous.)
Was that going out on a limb? Meh. Fine. How about these predictions? I'll start with a Bay Area angle.
Right now Stephen Curry's a top 10 point guard. By the end of next year, he'll be in the same tier as Steve Nash. Wherever that is. Probably knocking on the door of top 5 status.
The Warriors will make the playoffs next year. Then for two more consecutive years after that.
Sharks will reach the Western Conference Finals again. If they play Vancouver, they'll lose. If they don't, they'll advance to the Stanley Cup Finals...and lose. They won't win a Cup with the current nucleus they have.
Pablo Sandoval's weight won't be the problem. He'll end up being the next Jeff Francouer. Average around .270, OB% around .320, 15 hrs, 70 RBIs for about the next 4-5 years. That's aite, but it's not .330 25 hr 90 RBIs.
Tim Lincecum won't win another Cy Young (although I'll be rooting for him). Matt Cain will and Buster Posey will win an MVP in the next 3 years. (Side note: I can't
and won't predict what, who, where, or anything about Brian Wilson. Self-explanatory.)
I have a funny feeling the Niners will re-sign Alex Smith because of the lockout and he'll lead them to the playoffs. 9-7 will win the division.
Now onto the rest of the nation:
The Bulls will come out of the East. Yes, I'm aware Boston, Miami, Orlando, and New York play in that conference. Can't help my Derrick Rose man crush.
Team South Beach will win 2 rings with their core of LBJ, Wade, and Bosh. No more. No less.
Rajon Rondo will magically learn how to shoot. Similar to Jason Kidd. He'll become a 70% FT shooter for the rest of his career. Borderline HOF'er. (And I'll still hate him.)
Shaq will eventually retire and join the Inside the NBA crew (with EJ, Kenny, and Charles). It'll be can't miss TV for the next decade.
Indiana will draft Kyle Singler with their 1st round pick in the 2011 NBA draft. It's just too perfect of a match.
Boston College will....NOT win the college hockey national championship this year. It's bold considering they probably will.
No predictions on the Stanley Cup playoffs. It's the biggest crapshoot of a tournament in all of sports. March Madness included.
2 Big 10 teams will make it to the Final Four. No Big East teams.
If the Oakland A's play the Red Sox in the playoffs, the A's will win. Did the Year of the Pitcher teach you anything?
The Colorado Rockies will win the NL West. People forget how much of a struggle it was for the Giants just to squeak past the Padres. Don't worry. Giants will be the Wild Card.
Yankees will miss the playoffs. Freddy Garcia's their 4th starter? Kidding me?
Phillies-A's World Series. Yeah. Heard it here first.
Pujols will sign with the Cubs in the offseason.
That's all for now. Enjoy Kris Letang and Tyler Kennedy being weather guys.
