12/11/04 Week 6 NBA Picks

AC's outlook on the NBA is an entertaining original column featured here at Wagercom. If you are prone to NBA betting or even just an NBA fan, make sure you come back often to read his articles and free NBA Basketball picks against the spread. AC will be providing us with a weekly outlook during the basketball season including free NBA Basketball picks on some of the weekend games each Friday and Saturday.

Our NBA expert AC wrapped up the 2003-2004 NBA betting season with a 51% winning percentage against the spread on his basketball picks after 190 games ans has improved that to a 61% winning percentage against the spread so far this season.

Wow, wow, and holy *&(*&)%^$ crap. Did any of you see Tracy McGrady drop 13 points on San Antonio in the final 36 seconds? Seriously, it was unbelievable. He hit threes with 2 and 3 guys on him. I haven’t seen a performance like that since David Ortiz against the Yankees or Janine Lindemulder in her breakthrough role http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0097717/.

Seriously, the odds of scoring 13 points in an NBA game in less than 40 seconds are on par with enjoying the work of Jane Austen, laughing at anything on Everybody Loves Raymond, or hitting 50+ home runs and not taking steroids. Just an unbelievable performance and AC has to take his hat off to that. Kudos and Hizzah.

Now for this week’s column, I thought I’d break it up a bit and write Haikus http://www.toyomasu.com/haiku/ for each of the teams in the Eastern conference. It is through the Haiku that one can truly express the inner wisdom and come to understand the inner essence of each team.

Atlanta Hawks:

Antoine shoots the three

Misses again and again

Pay for these tickets?

Boston Celtics:

Larry Bird is gone

McHale, Chief, DJ, Danny

Give them uniforms

Charlotte Bobcats:

In ancient Japan

Bobcat had special meaning

Stinky piece of crap

Chicago Bulls:

Slept with a hooker

Genitals turned brown and shrunk

Caught the Luol Deng

Cleveland CavaQueers:

Ledong, Ledong, My

Kingdom for the great LeDong

He can flat out play

Detroit Pistons:

Darko, Carmelo

Was Dumars smoking the pipe?

Title shuts me up

Indiana Pacers:

No Artest, Jermaine

Stephen Jackson is gone too

Don’t bet against Bird

Miami Heat:

Shaq-fu is big, large

Must shit the size of Hummer

Breaks many toilets

Milwaukee Bucks:

Just a crappy team

Played over their heads last year

Fooled your boy AC

Orlando Magic:

Grant Hill is healthy?

Did the Sox win the series?

Cold in hell these days

Philadelphia 76ers:

Worst coach in the league

O’Braindead is a moron

Gone by end of year

New Jersey Nets:

Kidd is back in town

Nets may make a little run

Still have no two guard

New York Knicks:

Isiah the dope

Please trade for the sulky Vince

You make the Knicks worse

Toronto Raptors:

Not one person cares

Strip club on every corner

Canada is great

Washington Wizards:

Who would have thunk it

Four games over five hundred

Short them in Vegas

On to Picks for Saturday Night:

A strong finish by Utah helped your boy AC go 4-0 last night, winning you all more money for the holiday season. I hope you all enjoy the presents I am giving you and donate some to your favorite local charity or strip club.

Minnesota -9 at Chicago:

I know it is hard to take a team the second night of back to back road games but the Wolves are just a solid team. They play hard every night whereas the Bulls play hard for 5 minutes and then tire out. Eddy Curry has to be the biggest waste of talent in the NBA, maybe Isiah will trade for him too. Bwaahahahahahaa!!! Take the Wolves.

New Jersey -2 at Atlanta:

Don’t believe the hype. Yeah, the Hawks demolished the Pistons last night but they are not winning two in a row. The Nets are terrible but Kidd is going to have a big game. The Nets in a squeaker.

Boston at Seattle Over 203.5:

I don’t know who is going to win this game, really. My gut tells me the Sonics blow them out but I just can’t commit to that. I do know these teams love to score. Both teams will crack 110 so take the over and enjoy the track show.

Cleveland at San Antonio -10:

I hate giving LeDong 10 points but what am I supposed to do, take Dallas even at Houston or the Clips +3 vs the Lakers? All just terrible games. Sit this one out if you want but the Spurs are likely to be pissed after they let McGrady beat them the other night and I don’t think Ilgauskus really scares Duncan.

Friday’s Free NBA Picks:

6-2 last weekend and 12-4 in the last 16 games. You should all buy a Wagercom.com hat with your winnings and then take the rest, book a trip to Hawaii, and raise a tall Margarita glass for your boy AC.

Denver -2.5 at Toronto:

Weird game. Nuggets have won 3 in a row but aren’t the greatest road team. The Raptors have begun their slide but have the home court to cheer them up. This could be ugly but when all else fails, go with the talent.

Memphis at Miami -5:

Fratello is still the coach, right? Shaq is big. How big? Big enough to drop 30 on Shane Battier. Take the Heat.

Portland at Utah -2:

I know, Utah has lost a bazillion in a row since Kirilenko went down. However, have you seen Portland lately? They are not a very good team. The Jazz should be able to squeak this one out after Jerry Sloan rips them all new poopholes with a fiery pre-game speech.

Philadelphia at Chicago Under 187:

You know how I feel about the under but these teams are just terrible. O’Braindead and AI are already at odds, gee, who would have thought that? Oh yeah, everybody named AC Titticock. Just bet the under and forget this game ever happened.
