The Poll

Have any of you wondered why I left the poll about which Finals matchup is more likely up even after voting closed? Well, I wanted to know if you guys were right in your predictions, so let's see:

LA vs Cleveland	8 (80%)
LA vs Orlando	6 (60%)
LA vs Boston	3 (30%)
Denver vs. Orlando	0 (0%)
Denver vs. Cleveland	1 (10%)
Dallas vs. Cleveland	2 (20%)

We know now that the correct one was LA vs. Boston, and according to this poll, only 3 of 20 votes were given to that matchup. It isn't surprising that 40% of you thought that a Kobe vs. Lebron Finals was coming, nor that 30% of you thought there would be a rematch of the 2009 Finals, but I was impressed by how few of you predicted that Denver vs. Orlando, Denver vs. Cleveland, and Dallas vs. Cleveland would end up happening (only 15%). Looking back, not many of us had the Celtics going this deep and getting to the Finals (I was one who did!), so only 15% voting for a 2008 rematch is explainable. For the final score, however, you guys did pretty poorly, but better luck next year!
