01/02/04 Week 10 Free NBA Picks Against the Spread
I am excited to announce the addition of our new NBA Basketball expert analyst AC Titticock. While leafing through resumes prior to selecting our new NBA Basketball gambling expert it became clear that AC was the man for the job. Not only did his analysis come across entertaining but it was clear he knew the NBA and about betting on basketball. I am confident you will find his outlook on the NBA extremely useful especially when it comes to his weekly free NBA Basketball picks against the spread. AC will be providing us with a weekly outlook and his free NBA Basketball picks on some of the weekend games each Friday and sometimes Saturday as well.
AC has started the NBA betting season with a 53% winning percentage against the spread on his NBA basketball picks after 60 games.
NBA BASKETBALL WEEK 10
The new year is upon us which brings us to my top 5 NBA predictions for the remaining season in 2004.
1. Ron Artest will be traded before the season ends and hopefully for the Pacers before he anally violates an opponent on the court. Artest is the Ray Lewis of the NBA, unfortunately, you don’t get paid for knocking people out on the court. You can’t win in the league with a hothead as your best player (Rodman was never the best player on his team). Artest is too unreliable and distracting to take Indiana anywhere. Larry Legend knows this and will deal him as soon as he finds a taker. Portland, anyone?
2. Isiah Thomas will make at least three moves that will make you question why you are not an NBA gm. McDyess will be dealt for James Edwards, Charlie Ward for John Salley, Howard Eisley and Frankie Williams for Adrian Dantley, and Isiah will take over as player coach leading the Knicks to a berth in the field of 64. As a side note, Frankie Williams may be very good.
3. Either Utah, the Clippers, or Houston will win a first round playoff series in the West and the Jailblazers and Nuggets will miss the playoffs. At one point the other night Utah featured 5ish white players on the court, Kirilenko, Harpring, Pavlovic, Handlogten, and Lopez. I’m not sure what that means but Jeff Ruland may be planning a comeback. The Clippers can surprise people with the Q going for 40+ the other night and Elton Brand healthy. As for the Rockets, I would not be surprised to see them win it all, and I am not making that up.
4. Ricky Davis and Jim O’Brien will have an argument leading to Davis being benched. It is as inevitable as Trishelle from the Real World ending up in softcore porn or Richard Jefferson turning the ball over.
5. LeDong will score 50 in a game, end of story.
As for last week’s picks, a 2-4 showing is certainly not what I was aiming for. You can all thank the Blazers 8 point fourth quarter against the Cavs for one of those losses and Jim O’Brien’s horrible coaching against the Lakers for another. It’s a new year now and your buddy AC is here to get you paid.
Anyway, on to the free nba picks for Friday:
NBA BASKETBALL PICKS FOR FRIDAY 1/02/04
Phoenix +7.5 at Detroit: The Pistons do not score a lot of points and Phoenix matches up well with the Pistons guards. This has the makings of a 65-62 games. I like the Pistons, but not by 7.5.
Dallas -1 at Milwaukee: Hmm, this line doesn’t quite make sense to me. Either Dallas has a key player hurt (only Najera is listed in the preview) or Milwaukee traded for another scorer. I have been on the Bucks bandwagon all year but they are not beating a healthy Mavericks team. Take the Mavericks.
Chicago at New York -8: After all of that Isiah bashing am I really going to take the Knicks -8? Yes I am. Frankie Williams has been playing well, Keith Van Horn woke up from his slumber, and Allen Houston can flat out score. The Bulls have been horrible lately. I see them having another big let down. Knicks should win by 8.
