02/06/04 Week 15 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 46% winning percentage against the spread on his NBA basketball picks after 90 games.
NBA BASKETBALL WEEK 15
The NBA announced their All-Star teams this week and LeDong was left off of it while the fans voted in Vince “I have no heart” Carter. What a shame. After the snub, LeDong dropped 32 on Shaq in a losing effort teaching all of us a lesson, it’s LeDong’s world and we’re all just along for the ride. I guess the most entertaining thing about all-star weekend will be wondering what Christina Aguilera will do during halftime while she is lipsynching to her crappy songs. I’m hoping a three-way with Nelly Furtado and Beyonce (the other entertainment) breaks out but unfortunately I think we will be just subjected to her crappy music. Speaking of crappy music, who knew Michael Jackson had such big boobs? That was Michael during the superbowl, right (and yes I used the word crappy in 3 consecutive sentences)?
Anyway, I’m sitting here waiting to get rejected by the 3.5 million companies I interviewed with this week for a summer internship (apparently “WACC” jokes aren’t that funny) and I’m watching the Globetrotters first appearance on ABC’s Wide World of Sports on the Classic Sports Channel. First of all, who would play for the Washington Generals? This makes no sense, it’s like signing a letter of intent to play basketball at Northwestern (come on Carmody, recruit). Secondly, what were people thinking back then? This game is about as entertaining as watching Oprah when she has Rosie O’Donnell as a guest, and I just made myself shudder to the point of almost vomiting on my socks.
So the Globetrotter game got me thinking about what would make the NBA all-star game more entertaining and I cam up with 4 ideas:
1. A game of H-O-R-S-E with all of the all-stars. Ok, so it may take a few hours but who wouldn’t want to see the greatest shooters alive pop them in from half court, from behind the bench, and around their backs. Seriously, people like the three point contest because it is a skill based competition. The game of HORSE takes this to an even more competitive level. It could be called the Michael Smith Classic after the former Celtics number one draft pick who apparently couldn’t miss a shot in practice but sucked during the games. This needs to happen, you could even bring in old timers to compete because it is unlikely they would blow out their knees ala Calvin Murphy several years ago. You wouldn’t want to see Larry Legend destroy LeDong in HORSE? All I can think of is Pay-per-view.
2. A royal rumble with NBA star’s Posses. Iverson’s crew vs. Baron Davis’s crew vs. Shaq’s crew. No holds barred, no weapons, just good clean fisticuffs. Whoever leaves with the most gold teef wins.
3. A game called guess whose kid, Shawn Kemp’s or Scottie Pippen’s. Twenty kids are lined up at random and DNA tested to determine if their father is Shawn Kemp or Scottie Pippen. Bonus points if they turn out to be kids of any other nba superstar, of course, odds are that at least 15 in 20 kids have been fathered by either the great Pippen or the prolific Kemp.
4. What will a groupie do? This game will modeled so as to see how far a groupie will go to sleep with the worst NBA player (Hello Dan Dickau, I told you I would get you to the all-star game). This may be a pay-per-view event but would make the lingerie bowl seem as PG-rated and moronic as, well, as the lingerie bowl.
I await your call about these ideas David Stern. Perhaps you can hook me up with a summer job as apparently I am not cut out for equity research or the buy side. Maybe I shouldn’t have worn my retro John Bagley jersey to the interviews.
On to the free nba picks:
NBA BASKETBALL PICKS FOR FRIDAY 2/06/04
I have rebounded from my terrible streak of the last few weeks and closed out last weekend with two big wins. Now it’s time to jump back on the AC Titticock bandwagon.
Indiana -3 at Toronto:
The Raptors are due for a big loss. Only bet this game if O’Neal is healthy at the start, he may be out with a neck injury. If he’s healthy, he may make Donyell Marshall cry by halftime.
Milwaukee at Memphis -4:
Milwaukee is terrible on the road and Memphis has stepped up their game. Jason Williams is playing like he did last year and James Posey is a beast. I like the Milwaukee team but just don’t think this will be their night.
Atlanta at Boston -5.5:
This is it, the last time I will pick the Celtics if they blow it. The team has played with zero heart and is really not good. That said, if they have any semblance of pride, they should take it out on the Hawks. This should be a blow out, if not, the Celtics will not win a game for the rest of the year.
