Oops!

Thanks for the gentle corrective on the predictions, Bruce. I forgot when posting that the first round is a best of 5. So my picks are not only likely to be wrong in terms of which team wins, but also in terms of number of games.

I have been waiting for Big Dan to weigh in on the SC pick. I found myself saying "Harriet Miers?" over and over to myself. For the best gloss on it that you are likely to find, read this. I hope the guy is proven right, but I am not sure that with so much at stake, a tricky pick such as this one is the right move. Dan - you're the attorney - what do you say?
