AC'S NBA 2007-2008 WEEK 7 PICKS:
Check out AC's 2007-2008 NBA Preview
It’s been a hectic week for athletes, the law, and public sentiment, and not just NBA players. Below is just a short list of this week’s happenings:
1. Jason Kidd was accused of groping a model showing how much he loves to make passes. No word on if the model was also sleeping with Toni Braxton.
2. Senator Mitchell released his report about steroids and baseball showing the whole world what a lying assclown fat Roger Clemens is, something Red Sox fans have known for ten years. While the report relied mostly on hearsay from two clubhouse attendants (leading one to believe the other 28 clubhouse attendants would have similar stories), it basically incriminated all of baseball from 1995 to 2005, so it basically didn’t tell us what we didn’t already know. Great report, what’s next, telling us Jodie Foster is into chicks or George W. Bush is an alcoholic Yawn.
3. Michael Vick’s letter to the judge who sentenced him was released and English professors at Virginia Tech cringed (this letter is brilliant on so many different levels that I implore you all to read it). I am now thinking about making Michael Vick my pen pal.
4. Some guy on Louisville named Derrick Caracter was suspended by Rick Pitino for character issues which delights me in ways I can’t explain. It would be like if Carlos Boozer were suspended for drinking, Ronnie Brewer for moonshining, Vinnie Del Negro for racial slurs, or Ndudi Ebi for pulling a Najeh Davenport.
5. Jamal Tinsley was shot at by someone with an assault rifle at an Indiana hotel which is his third late night incident in less than a year and a half making him eligible to play for Pacers, oh wait, he already does.
But there were also some good stories, especially in the NBA:
1. The Celtics moved to 18-2 and 12-0 at home. This is truly an unbelievable turnaround from last year. I really can’t put into words how drastic of a change this is for the Celtics other than telling you to look at the TerribleWolves who are on pace for the all-time worst NBA record with basically the Celtics team from last year. I guess it would be kind of like if you were dating a poor fat chick who then lost 150 pounds, won the lottery, and decided she liked threesomes. And I’m not sure that even does it justice.
2. The Blazers won their sixth game in a row which is an amazing transition for a franchise that was all but destitute a couple of years ago. Known for having more players on wanted lists than on the active roster on some nights, the Jail Blazers are a thing of the past. The best part for Blazer fans is that they are doing all of this without number one pick Greg Oden. If they keep this up they could be a real contender for years to come.
3. The Knicks benched Eddy Curry who likely holds the distinction of fewest rebounds per height in NBA history. Why is this a positive story? Because every mistake by Isiah (and in this case trading for and signing Eddy Curry to a huge contract is on par with hanging out with Jamal Tinsley at 3am) brings joy to the schadenfreude-ists among us.
Friday Night Picks:
Sacramento +4.5 at Philadelphia:
The Sixers have won four in a row, though two were against the Knicks and one against the TerribleWolves, so there is nothing to get too excited about here. The Kings can play lock down defense and have a veteran front court which should give the Sixers crappy front court problems. Artest should easily hinder Igoudala which means the Sixers are going to have to get a big night scoring night from somewhere else in order to cover and unfortunately for them, they don't really have a somewhere else. Keep an eye on former Sixer John Salmons in his return to the Philly as he will come near a tripe double, yes I just said that, and no I am not completely drunk (maybe 2/3 of the way there). Oh yeah, is anyone else enjoying the Beno Udrih era in Sacramento? I swear "udrih" is the noise I make every time I yak after drinking too much Courvoisier.
Utah -5 at Portland:
For those of you who have been too busy digesting the Mitchell Report and worrying about how to make a payment on your subprime mortgage, you have probably missed out on the resurgent Blazers. Portland has won 5 in a row behind the tenacious play of Brandon Roy, the inspired play of LaMarcus Aldridge (who is doing his best to make AC eat the "LaCrapage" moniker he bestowed upon him), and the "where did he come from" play of Travis Outlaw. The Blazers are looking like a playoff team now but as we know from our previous investments in CMGI, AOL, and Shaq’s movie career, you have to sell things high. The Jazz lost to the Blazers by eight points in Utah three days ago and you rarely beat a team twice in one week in the regular season, especially when that team is better. Take the Jazz and hope they play some defense.
Milwaukee at Boston Under 189:
Sometimes you have to ride the hot hand so until Boston misses an under against a bad team, we'll be betting them all the way. The Celtics play ridiculous lock down defense when they are motivated, in fact, I haven't seen a defense that good since Johnnie Cochran got OJ Simpson acquitted. If the Celtics win tonight, they tie the franchise record for best home start and you better believe Garnett and Pierce know that. Teasing this with Boston minus thirteen would be almost too good to be true, like finding a free password to the bangbus, so do it if you can.
Los Angeles Clippers +6 at Memphis:
You could take Seattle and the 2 points at Minnesota (and Minnesota giving points is something I thought I would see shortly after Isiah Thomas won executive of the year with the Knicks), but I have a hunch the Clips decide to play tonight. Event though the Grizzlies are due for a win, six points is a lot to give when you are not clearly the better team. Take the Clips and root for Maggette and Kaman to play with intensity.
Saturday Night Picks:
Sacramento +8 at Washington:
The second of back to back nights on the road never bodes well for a bad team, and to be nice, the Kings are definitely teetering on bad team status. That said, the Wizards are going to be without Antonio Daniels which means Roger Mason will be running the point which is usually not a good sign if you are an NBA team. The Wiz will likely win but this is more like a five point game than an eight point game. Just hope Ron Artest stayed off the streets last night and Reggie Theus can get the rest of the payers pumped up to play. I would love to bet an over/under on number of people in attendance at this game and would take the under on any number.
Philadelphia at Cleveland -7.5:
I am assuming LeDong will be playing tonight and if so, this is a twenty point win. The Cavs are coming off an embarrassing loss to the Nets and the Sixers are coming back down to earth after their mini win streak. Cleveland just has too much energy playing at home for Philadelphia to handle.
Memphis at Orlando -12:
We all know AC hates giving more than ten points almost as much as he hates Jane Austen, but the Grizzlies will be playing without their only reliable big man in Pau Gasol. This means Dwight Howard may go for thirty points and twenty rebounds in the first quarter. Howard should dominate the Grizzlies like Rosie O’Donnell at an all you can eat buffet. The only issue here is whether or not the Magic’s scrubs can outplay the Grizzlies in the fourth quarter when they are up by twenty. Take the Magic and root for Howard not to hurt anyone in the slaughter.
Indiana at Miami Over 206.5:
Neither of these teams is particularly good and both are about as consistent as take out Chinese food. They do like to score though so take the over and root for Dwynae Wyane Wade to continue to go to the hole.
