NBA WEEK 5 COLUMN & FREE PICKS:

So without further ado, on to this weeks picks:
NBA FRIDAY FREE PICKS:
First of all, I must apologize for last Saturday night. I was fully cognizant that the line on the Miami game reflected something that I wasn't aware of and yet I still went through with the recommendation. I should have just avoided the game and picked another (and by picked another, I mean rubbed one out and then picked another) but sometimes stubbornness gets to me and I refuse to believe Vegas knows something I don't. That is foolish of course and as a result, I will win you all back some dollars tonight so you can enjoy your 3am Grand Slam meal at Denny's .
Chicago +2 at Boston:
I'm not doing this just because I am going to pick against Boston all year, though that is part of the reason. This pick is largely because the Bulls have been playing well even though they slipped to the Knicks the other night. Plus Kendrick Perkins is not putting up 10 points and 19 boards again in my lifetime unless he is playing for University High School and even then it is not certain. The fact is the Celtics are a bad team that is able to stay in games when Pierce is on and one other guy steps up. However, they struggle against teams that can play defense since they are turnover prone and can't pass as noted by the fact that their point guard is a college shooting guard who apparently can no longer shoot. Take the Bulls and enjoy the Scalabrine.
Orlando at Memphis -7.5:
Orlando should have to go back to their room and think about what they did to me last Saturday night. Dwight Howard has really stepped it up but so has my boy Pau. This game may be closer than 7.5 but I have a feeling the Grizz will prevail by 10. Of courser that feeling could also be gas, so be cautious.
Indiana at Portland Under 177:
Is it possible to score less than 177 points in an NBA game? Does Ruben Patterson have the district attorney on retainer? Does anyone understand this stupid Harry Potter phenomenon? The answers are yes, yes, and if you do, please let me know. Just hope the Tinsley-Telfair match-up shoots their usual 30%, and yes I have both of them on my fantasy team, and yes I hate them as if they were writing jokes for Ray Romano (as an aside, if something is not funny, can it still be called a joke?).
Miami at Sacramento Under 201.5:
I hate Miami.
NBA SATURDAY FREE PICKS:
I went 4-0 last night to make up for that awful 0-4 last Saturday night. I told you all I would make it up to you and hopefully that did, if not, stop by for a hug.
Detroit -5 at Chicago:
The Pistons looked terrible last night and the Bulls rallied to pull one out against the Celtics. I would expect Detroit to bounce back and the Bulls to have a bit of a let down. 5 points is a lot to give to the Bulls at home but the Pistons front line should dominate. Anyone want to take the over of 4 for number of points Darko will score? I think he’ll get some run, just hope the Bulls come out as flat as one of those Olsen twins.
New Orleans/Oklahoma City/Who Cares at Dallas Over 187.5:
Dallas likes to fill it up and the Whorenets love not playing defense. This game may be ugly, just hope NO/OK can keep up with the Mavs.
Philadelphia at San Antonio -10:
Have any of you seen the Sixers play? Unfortunately I have. Unless Iverson drops 50, this is not going to be a close game. Just hope Finley can step it up for the injured Ginobili and the Spurs don’t fold in garbage time.
Miami at Denver -3:
This has more to do than just with my hatred of the Heat for what they did to me last weekend. If Carmelo can not step it up against Dwyane Wayne Wade, he has no heart. I am betting he has a little bit so will take this as a pride game. Did I really just type that? Ugh.
