AC'S NBA 2008-2009 NBA FREE PICKS WEEK 5:
It is Thanksgiving week and we here at Wagercom.com are thankful for many things. We are thankful for that one month period two years ago when Jiggy supplied us with a working password for the Bang Bus, we are thankful the Celtics have Kevin Garnett and not “The Big Lazy” Al Jefferson, and we are thankful that the adults are back running our country.
Even though this is a time of thanks, we realize that many of our readers are going through tough times with the economy struggling, deflation occurring, and Bar Refaeli still not having a sex tape. While we here at Wagercom.com are doing our best to provide you with free money due to our picks against the spread (AC is now 19-13 on the year), we realize that people need more than money, they also need hope (and by hope I mean threesomes). As a result, this week AC will look at each NBA team and one thing for which the fans of that team should be thankful. It is our way of providing some hope to the dreariness that is a recession.
Eastern Conference:
Atlanta Hawks: Hawk fans should be thankful that they are 9-5 despite Josh Smith playing in only three full games. They are 6-5 without Smith for 40 minutes a night which is about 5 more wins than one would have expected.
Boston Celtics: Celtic fans should be thankful for Kevin McHale. Not only was he the perfect complement to Larry Bird in the 1980s (the Julia Ann to Larry Bird’s Janine Lindemulder if you will ), but he gave the Celtics at least one more championship by basically giving away Kevin Garnett. Thank you, thank you, thank you. The Celtics should re-retire McHale’s number.
Charlotte Bobcats: Bobcat fans should be thankful that their other two pro basketball teams (Duke and UNC) will be very good this year.
Chicago Bulls: Bull fans should be thankful for Derrick Rose. It’s really that simple.
Cleveland Cavaqueers: Cav fans should be thankful for Wally Szczerbiak’s expiring contract which can be used to bring in one more near all-star type player to help LeDong make a run at the title this year. Of course Danny Ferry will be making the trade, but we’ll pretend that won’t matter.
Detroit Pistons: Piston fans should be thankful for the cap space they are going to have after they let Iverson go at the end of this year. And yes we here at Wagercom.com love that AI did not go to practice today, but it is just practice.
Indiana Pacers: Pacer fans should be thankful for Danny Granger, the most under the radar star in the NBA.
Miami Heat: Heat fans should be happy they live in Miami where this happens, and also for Dwyane Wyane Wade.
Milwaukee Bucks: Buck fans should be thankful they don’t live in Oklahoma City.
New Jersey: Net fans should be thankful for Jay-Z and his friendship with LeDong giving New Jersey hope for a LeDong signing in 2010.
New York Knicks: Knick fans should be thankful that Isiah Thomas is gone, and that no matter how good of a friend Jay-Z is to LeDong, LeDong is going to New York in 2010.
Orlando Magic: Magic fans should be thankful that Dwight Howard has improved every year he has been in the league. If he develops an offensive game from more then 5 feet away from the basket, he will be unstoppable.
Philadelphia 76ers: 76er fans should be thankful that Donovan McNabb and Andy Reid are taking all of the headlines and thus Philly fans haven’t noticed how badly this team is underachieving (and Lou Williams, you’re killing me. You need to step up your game).
Toronto Raptors: Toronto fans should be thankful that no matter what happens, they can go to the Brass Rail after the game.
Washington Wizards: Wizard fans should be thankful their basketball team folded at the end of last year in order to avoid a 2-11 start this year (umm, they didn’t fold? Yikes).
Western Conference:
Dallas Mavericks: Maverick fans should be thankful for Mark Cuban. Seriously, no matter how bad things look right now, Cuban will do something to try to rebuild sooner rather than later.
Denver Nuggets: Nugget fans should be thankful that Chauncey Billups has brought the team game back to Denver.
Golden Shower State Warriors: Warrior fans should be thankful that Don Nelson likes defense as much as the US government likes bailing out failing industries. As long as the Warrriors suck, at least their fans get to watch entertaining basketball.
Houston Rockets: Rocket fans should be thankful Ron Artest has not killed anyone yet, like them.
LA Clippers: Clipper fans should be thankful that they can always get good seats.
LA Lakers: Laker fans should be thankful that Chris “The Destroyer of Teams” Wallace picked them to give Pau Gasol to for some peanut shells and a used condom.
Memphis Grizzlies: Griz fans should be thankful their owners fired Chris Wallace after giving away Pau Gasol. Actually, they kept Wallace so sorry Memphis fans, you are screwed.
Minnesota TerribleWolves®: TerribleWolves® fans should be thankful for all the free time they have since they don’t have to waste their time watching games as they know the Wolves are going to lose before the game starts.
New Orleans Whorenets: Whorenet fans should be thankful for James Posey who will win them at least three playoff games before all is said and done.
Oklahoma City Thunder: Thunder fans should be thankful they don’t live in Milwaukee.
Phoenix Suns: Suns fans should be thankful they have Amare Stoudamire because otherwise this team is aging faster than Madonna.
Portland Trailblazers: Blazer fans should be thankful for Greg Oden who is going to be a beast sooner than people think.
Sacramento Kings: Kings fans should be thankful Ron Artest did not kill anyone while he was there, like them.
San Antonio Spurs: Spurs fans should be thankful that the team has treaded water without Ginobili and Tony Parker thus setting them up for a deep playoff run.
Utah Jazz: Jazz fans should be thankful their religion allows polygamy as variety is the spice of life.
FRIDAY NIGHT FREE NBA PICKS
Philadelphia at Boston -9:
The Sixers have been playing like crap lately and I actually think that may be an insult to crap. The Celtics have still yet to play well as they have coasted through the first fifth of the season. However, Rajon Rondo is awakening from his slumber and that should be enough for a double digit Celtic win.
Memphis at San Antonio -10:
The only way the Spurs don’t cover is if their scrubs completely suck in the 2 quarters they will get to play.
Sacramento at Utah -10.5:
We’re taking the home team and giving big points again tonight which is a rarity here at Wagercom.com, like a funny Robin Williams film. The risk here is that the Jazz are not in rhythm (pun intended) with Deron Wiliams return. Either way, take the Jazz and root for them to play some defense.
Miami at Phoenix -8.5:
In honor of thanksgiving AC is going to take his fourth home team of the night and give the points. In 6 years of winning you all money, AC has never gone long all four games like this with these kind of lines but there is nothing we can do about it. The Heat are just realizing they have Dwyane Wyane Wade and not much else while the Suns are starting to find themselves. One may think that Shawn marion would be hyped up for this game in order to show Phoenix up for trading him, but one needs to know that Shawn Marion only cares about booty and could give a crap about winning ot losing. We’re not happy about giving 8.5 but we’re taking the Suns and hoping for the best.
SATURDAY FREE NBA PICKS
AC went 3-1 last night thus winning you all some scratch to buy that new 60 inch flat screen HD TV which is on sale for about $13 at Best Buy for the holiday discount season (see deflation from last week’s column). The only game AC lost was Phoenix-Miami and when that pick was made Steve Nash was healthy and supposed to play, so while we will take the blame for not having better insiders on the Suns squad, we can’t totally be at fault. As a reminder, always check the injury report before you bet as AC makes his picks 8 hours before game time so his loyal readers will have time to call their bookies but most importantly, have enough time to reserve a table with bottle service at their local gentlemen’s club to spend their winnings.
Atlanta at Washington Under 200.5:
Here’s a question, what has 10 feet and sucks cock? If you answered the Washington Wizards starting 5, you would be correct (we also would have taken the fabled decipod girl for an answer as well). Neither one of these teams is too offensive minded and you have to figure there will be fewer people in the crowd for a Saturday night Hawks-Wizards game than there were for the Milli-Vanilli reunion tour, so there will be nothing to get these teams going. Expect a quiet crowd, a ton of misses, and an ugly ugly basketball game.
Denver -4.5 at Minnesota:
The TerribleWolves® eked out a victory last night vs. the awful OK City team. I don’t know much about basketball (though enough to be 22-14 against the spread this year and have 6 straight winning seasons), but I do know Denver is better than Ok City. Take the Nuggets and hope Nene can bother the Big Lazy Al Jefferson.
New Jersey at Utah -8.5:
Sometimes you just have to keep riding a horse until you ride it into the ground (and if the horse were Carmen Kinsley and the ground were my johnson, I would delighted). We here at Wagercom.com are going to ride the Jazz with a healthy Deron Williams until they break. Take Utah and hope they can keep up the intensity.
Cleveland at Milwaukee +7:
This may be the dumbest pick of the year for your boy AC but there are many lines not yet posted as I write this so I am forced to do something I don’t necessarily want to. I would love to take whatever the under is for the Celtics-Bobcats game, but it has not been published yet. Therefore, I am going against everything I believe in and taking the Bucks vs. a good team and not getting double digit points. The only hope is that Skiles can fire up his team just enough to keep it interesting and LeDong forgets to show up. Take the Bucks and cover your eyes.
