If ever a pundit needed to hit on a prediction, it’s Paul Pierce. He decreed the Boston-Milawuakee series after Celtics won Game 1. They then lost four straight. He then picked Houston to roll over a Kevin Durant-less Golden State on Friday night. They did not.

Pierce put his stamp of approval on Portland in this afternoon’s Game 7, but before Michelle Beadle did some light roasting.

The best part about experts making predictions is that fans at home forget no one truly knows what’s going to happen in a given sporting event. That’s a major reason people watch. So expect the same tired taunting memes if Denver defends its home court.
