AC'S NBA 2007-2008 WEEK 12 PICKS:
What an awful week it has been. The stock market is falling faster than Isiah Thomas’s basketball credibility, the economy is headed for, or actually in, a recession, and another week went by and I did not have a threesome. Some weeks you just can’t win. In NBA news the Kings got Bibby, Martin, and Artest back so should now challenge for a playoff spot, the Celtics seem to be coming out of their four game slump, and Kobe Bryant didn’t rape anyone. In other words, it’s been a pretty uneventful week.
As promised last week, here are haikus about the Western Conference (and a loyal reader pointed out that these are actually senryus since they don’t deal with nature, and just knowing that makes me feel gayer than John Amaechi in the Castro, not that there is anything wrong with that).
Western Conference Haikus:
Dallas Mavericks:
Last year playoff choke
Dirk went on sabbatical
Hope he found shooter
Denver Nuggets:
Nene has tumor
Said to be on his nut sack
Too many groupies
Golden Shower State Warriors:
They can fill it up
Not just at Mitchell Brothers
Score Score Score Score Score
LA Clippers:
Kaman is playing
Like he has been possessed by
Someone with hoop skills
LA Lakers:
Bynum down with knee
Still better than Kobe’s thing
Which is torn rectum
Memphis Grizzlies:
Hoops team in Memphis?
Can’t think of anything worse
Except living there
Minnesota TerribleWolves™:
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha
Love the Celtics fans
New Orleans Whorenets:
Chris Paul, David West
The new Stockton and Malone
Or just a mirage
Phoenix Suns:
If not for bad calls
And retarded suspensions
Would have been the champs
Portland Trailblazers:
Deepest team in league
Have yet to feel the pressure
First round choke coming
Sacramento Kings:
Finally healthy
So only matter of time
Till RonRon goes nuts
Seattle Supersonics:
Durant likes to shoot
So does Wally Szczerbiak
No one to play D
Utah Jazz:
Bizarre move for them
Trading for Kyle Korver
Sloan hates gay people
Friday Night Picks:
New York at Washington -7:
There are three important rules to trading stocks: 1. Buy low. 2. Sell high. 3. Avoid the criminals at Washington Mutual who destroy value over and over again. In this game we are following rule number 2 and selling high. The Knicks have won three in a row, including a twelve point victory over this Wizards team, so they are due for a loss. Along with our three rules for trading stocks, there are three important things to know about the Knicks: 1. Isiah Thomas is the coach and GM. 2 Eddy Curry is on the team. 3. They stink. All three of those work in our favor and when you add that to our selling high thesis, this game should be an easy victory. Plus NBA teams rarely lose back-to-back games to the same team in the regular season and the Wizards have not played since losing to the Knicks. Everything points to a Wizards victory with the big wild card being the seven points which are three more than I would like to give but sometimes you have to pay to profit.
Philadelphia at Boston -11:
I know the Celtics are slumping, they have no PG, Ray Allen is playing injured, and James Posey has been colder than an eskimo’s vagina. I also know the Sixers team is due for a win and plays tough on the road. That said, I expect a bounce back in energy for the Celtics and a dominant four quarter performance. Boston’s shooting slump has to end soon so why not against the poor perimeter defense of Philadelphia. Take the Celtics and root for Garnett to control the boards, Ray Allen to hit some threes, and Kendrick Perkins not to hurt anyone in the stands as he dives for all of the passes he drops.
Portland -5 at Miami:
Warning: This Is A Trap Game!!! That said, we are going to fall for the trap. Here are some little known facts; The Heat have lost 11 in a row, Portland has the deepest team in the league, and apparently I am developing a thing for Hillary Duff (I’m not sure how that is relevant, but you should all probably know. And I actually have no idea who Hillary Duff is which makes this all the more disturbing). Portland plays every game like they are in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA tournament. They play unselfish, with energy, and without egos. They are the most exciting team in the NBA to watch. Whatever the opposite of exciting and energetic is, is what the Heat are (and I am 96% sure there is something terribly wrong with my grammar there but I am 98% sure if you’re reading this there is something terribly wrong with you, so I think that gives me a 2% lead). I honestly don’t know if I would rather watch a Heat game, that movie Atonement, or have a coffee enema (and I don’t even drink coffee so not sure why I would want to put it in the out hole). Take the Blazers and hope this isn’t the game Miami wakes up for before going back to sleep.
Golden Shower State Even at Chicago:
Here are the types of teams the Bulls are having trouble with: Tall teams, fast teams, small teams, slow teams, athletic teams, plodding teams, veteran teams, young teams, high scoring and low scoring teams as well as good teams and bad teams. The Warriors fall into at least one of those categories. Can the human brick Kirk Hinrich and the defensively challenged Bulls keep up with the fast paced Warriors? I wouldn’t bet on it.
Saturday Night Picks:
I am assuming you are all on your way back from the “massage” parlor after your four hour happy ending thanks to my 4-0 night last night. We’ve been struggling with picking favorites but last night the basketball Gods looked down on us and smiled. So we thank them for that, and hope you all do to (or you can just thank me with a little snip of your winnings or pictures of your lady friends). Anyway, we’re going to keep the streak going tonight so go to the ATM and book your masseuse ahead of time.
Portland at Orlando -5:
I am 100% on the Blazers bandwagon. They play well as a team, they hustle, and they all want to win. Unfortunately they are still a young team playing the second of back to back nights on the road against a team that needs a win. Plus the Blazers played in Miami last night so probably were up partying in South Beach until the wee hours of the morning (unless they flew to Orlando last night and thus were up partying in Disney World). The Magic might actually blow them out tonight, it happens, but don’t sleep on the Blazers.
Sacramento at Indiana Under 212.5:
I seriously feel like these teams play each other every night. Is that possible? Just like I believe the NBA instituted a rule that two out of Charlotte, Memphis, and New Orleans have to play each other on any given night. The Kings and Pacers played a week ago and combined for 216 points so the over would seem to be a good bet except for two things: 1. The Kings played last night in Detroit so are likely to put up a stinker tonight. 2. Ron Artest is back which means the Kings defense just improved by 20%. So take the under and root for an opening 40 point quarter.
Golden Shower State +2.5 at Milwaukee:
We’re riding the Warriors for the second night in a row on the road which is about as good of an idea as throwing a soda on Ron Ron Artest. This is more of a bet against the Bucks who are simply a mess despite Andrew Bogut’s emergence over the last couple of weeks. So take the Warriors and hope they can get up for the second of back to back games, especially when it is in Milwaukee, where there will approximately three fans at the game as the rest are already at Lambeau Field in their seats awaiting Sunday’s NFC Championship Game.
Toronto at Philadelphia Over 190:
The Raptors have started finding their game and the Sixers love playing just good enough to lose. With both teams having played last night I don’t expect a defensive battle so as long as the Raptors can score 100, this should be an easy over. So root for Bosh to treat Dalembert and Reggie Evans like I would treat Kim Kardashian and root for my boy Lou Williams to go off.
