AC'S NBA 2007-2008 PLAYOFFS ROUND 2 FREE NBA PICKS & COLUMN:
This week we saw Kobe Bryant win the MVP, the Celtics re-establish their dominance by turning LeDong James into John Starks circa 1994 Game 7 vs. Houston, and Chris Paul continue to play the point guard position like Mozart played the piano or Robert Guillaume governed.
Today we’ll take a look at each of the four remaining series in the NBA and examine three important factors we have witnessed.
Boston-Cleveland
1. James Posey is playing defense on LeDong James like defense were Brooklyn Decker. Posey is not only squashing LeDong’s hopes and dreams but he is the most clutch three point shooter on the Celtics. Plus he is great at motivating the team with his homo-erotic hugs before the games. If I ever have kids, I am going to hire James Posey as my nanny.
2. Delonte West sucks. It is not clear exactly what he does on the court. He can’t dribble, he’s too slow to stop Rondo, and he is 3-15 from the field. His best move should be threatening to wipe his facial herpe on Rondo or Cassell to keep them from driving.
3. There has to be something wrong with the “Big OCD” Ray Allen. It could be that he is apparently dealing with issues surrounding the attempted murder of his stepfather. According to the Boston Globe: Allen's mother, Flora Allen-Hopson, and his stepfather spent more than two years in a witness protection program after the 2003 attempted murder of Hopson by Ernest Garlington. Garlington, the husband of Hopson's ex-wife, was recently sentenced to 33 years in prison on five counts, including conspiracy to commit murder. Or it could be that he is almost 33 years old and coming off of double ankle surgery and has just played an 80+ game season. I’ll let you come to your own conclusion but Ray Allen is ossifying right in front of us.
Orlando-Detroit
1. Detroit’s bench is playing well. Rodney Stuckey came in for an injured Chauncey Billups and dropped nineteen with two assists, Antonio McDyess has played solid defense, and even Aaron Afflalo has played decently.
2. Orlando’s bench is awful. Keith Bogans is 2-12, Keyon Dooling is Keyon Dooling, and Carlos Arroyo is a waste of the energy it took me to type his name.
3. I really have no third point here. I can’t even watch this abomination of a series, especially as I have been busy as a pall bearer for a friend’s funeral (and by pall bearer I mean groomsman and by funeral I mean wedding, but potato-puhtahto).
Utah-LA Lakers
1. Gasol is better than people think, especially on defense. He had 5 blocked shots in Game 2 and did a solid job shutting down Utah’s big men in the first two games.
2. The Jazz fate is completely tied to how Carlos Boozer plays. After having a huge first ¾ of a season, Boozer faded like Kid’N Play’s haircuts circa 1991. He had a huge game in Utah’s Game 3 victory and he’ll need to continue to play like that if the Jazz are going to have a chance.
3. The Lakers are flat out good. It’s just that simple.
New Orleans-San Antonio
1. Chris Paul has officially reached superstar status. In Game 3 he made about four shots that just didn’t make any sense. He can’t be stopped, like a runaway freight train or Britney’s Spears descent into madness.
2. Like cockroaches in a nuclear winter, the Spurs just won’t die. Every year I actively root for their demise because I can’t stand the flopping of Ginobili, the whining of Duncan, and the methodical slow down offense and defense. They are surgical in the way they win but it is about as enjoyable to watch as an episode of Mad About You or a urinary catheter insertion.
3. Did I mention Chris Paul?
FRIDAY 5/09/08 FREE NBA PLAYOFF PICKS:
LA Lakers at Utah Under 215:
On the road, the Lakers focus more on defensive stops and running the clock a bit plus Utah is going to be primed for a strong rally so there is the possibility of this being a blow out in which case the Lakers will score fewer than 100 points. For the life of me I can not figure out this Utah team. They really should be better than they are. They are like Jessica Alba to me, she’s hot but she’s just missing something to put her over the top (and by something I mean boobs, or a personality, either will do). Either way, take the under and hope Kobe was all night raping hotel workers and thus comes out tired for the game.
SATURDAY 5/10/08 FREE NBA PLAYOFF PICKS:
Detroit at Orlando Under 187:
It’s still not clear if Chauncey Billups is playing, it’s still not clear if Orlando is for real, and it’s still not clear why anyone would pay to watch a Sex in The City movie. Based on two of those facts, the under is the best bet tonight. Without Chauncey the Pistons will struggle to score and even with a hobbled Chauncey the Pistons will refocus on their defense and shut the Magic down. Take the under and root for Dwight Howard to pull a Shaq from the line.
Boston at Cleveland -1.5:
I hate to do this, I really do, but there are a number of reasons I have to:
1. I just can’t take the Celtics until they show they can play on the road in the playoffs.
2. LeDong is eventually going to break out. Yeah the Celtics have played great defense, but LeDong at home is going to be tough, especially because the refs are going to call fouls if the Celtics so much as breathe on him.
3. The Doc Rivers factor. Doc loves sticking with rotations that aren’t working, a bad thing to do when the Celtics are on the road against a motivated Cleveland team.
