AC'S NBA 2008-2009 NBA FREE PICKS WEEK 23:
The NBA Tweets
For those of you who haven’t been living on the planet Melmac for the past year, you’re probably aware of twitter. AC has written about it here over the past few weeks but he is continually shocked by the vapidness of the medium, the continued devolution of our society (and if Saul Bellow thought our society was base when he wrote Mr. Sammler’s Planet in 1970, he doesn’t know what he missed), and the desire for everyone to want to be famous. Take it from someone who knows, fame is not all blumpkins and caviar (there are also the occasional bottles of Cristal and threesomes too, so umm, what was my point again?).
Twitter is so main stream that Shaq is on it, Paul Pierce gave away free tickets on it, some dude is twittering his shits, and even wagercom.com is set up to tweet away www.twitter.com/wagercom (and I am contractually obligated to tell you all to sign up, as well as being contractually obligated to refer to myself in the first, second, and third persons all in the first two paragraphs).
Lucky for all of you AC is well connected to many in the NBA and got access to a bunch of tweets the league did not want to get out. Below are NBA players and their never seen before tweets.
LeDong James: 28 points, 7 boards, 7 assists, 60 wins, not even 25 yet and i'm married? who said i was a good decision maker?
Kevin Garnett: i am going to type the fuck out of twitter. and i'll use 141 characters if i want to. twitter will not score on me, never
Kobe Bryant: to all the lady fans of kobe who like in the pooper, I’ll be in front of the Staples Center at 6:30, lube optional
Eddy Curry: I’m at mcdonalds, first one to yell cheese burger can take care of one of my out of wedlock kids.
Dikembe Mutombo: C is for cookie, now who wants to sex dikembe?
Vince Carter: Vaginitis acting up tonight, playing the wiz, will be resting during the game, what time’s the party?
Kyle Lowry: Anyone know a shooting coach?

Sasha Vujacic: Anyone know how to get in touch with john amaechi?
Tyrus Thomas: Coach told me today we’re supposed to get the ball in round orange rim thing. Weird. Thought we were supposed to knock it down
Tom Duncan: For the last time John Hollinger, I am a power forward, not a center. Stick that in your PER.
Al Jefferson: I like pudding. Mmmmm, pudding.
Ricky Davis: anyone got a hook up at 520 if ya know what I mean? Share the cheetos.

Kevin Durant: swish
Glen Davis: just ate some waffles, waiting for the fried chicken. Ice cream sunday next.
Danilo Gallinari: mamma mia, I left italy for this?

Ray Allen: I have to hit ppp three times ppp, touch keyboard once, turn around in a circle, repeat. ocd sux
Larry Bird: I made 26 mil in my career, eddy curry has made 37 mil. Horse shit timing. Stern owes me money
Delonte West: typing is hard only using left hand. Wish I had a right one. I’m still pretty though, be my valentine? Face herpes included
Shawn Marion: I just had a double-double. Great night. I think we lost but who cares. I got mine. I miss s. beach though.

FRIDAY NIGHT FREE NBA PICKS
Miami +4.5 at Charlotte:
As much as I’d like to ride AC’s 80% winning % on Charlotte and the over, I said last week we were done with that bet. You can only outrun the bookies for so long until they get wise to the inefficiencies in their market. Bookies don’t drive around in Mercedes and bang hot chicks because they are stupid. Instead, taking Miami and the points is the way to play this one. Dwyane Wyane Wade had been in a little bit of a slump lately and he is due for a dominating game culminating in a triple-double. Also, Michael Beasley is steadily improving and the Heat want to win this game as much as the Bobcats who are fighting for the 8th seed. This will be a close game so take the points and hope Wade goes off.
Atlanta at Boston -4.5:
Boston continues to limp into the post season due to injuries, fatigue, and general malaise. That said, Atlanta is the type of team that really pushes them since Al Horford talks a lot of trash and Atlanta thinks they can beat Boston every time. Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, and Rajon Rondo have been trying for about 5 minutes per game and mailing it in more than Janine Lindemulder in her comeback film Maneater. That said, the Celtics will be up for this game so enjoy the Big Baby.
Cleveland +3.5 at Orlando:
One of two things happens here (obviously, since there are no ties in basketball). Either the Cavs come out pissed after their 13 game losing streak was snapped last night by the Wizards and easily handle the Magic or the Cavs roll up into a little ball and cry their way to a losing streak like the Celtics did after winning 19 in a row earlier in the year. The key differences of course are that winning 19 games in a row takes a lot more out of you than winning 13 in a row, and LeDong is more focused on winning this year than Shaq is focused on twitter (and speaking of twitter, you should all check out this twitterer named deucerocker who is sending out tweets everytime he takes a dump. Brilliant). Add in that Orlando is as mentally tough as George Bush was competent, and Cleveland should prevail tonight. Therefore, we’ll take the 3.5 points and enjoy the LeDong show.
Portland -5 at Oklahoma City:
This is one of my least favorite picks of the year but I just spent 5 minutes talking myself out of Phoenix -13 vs. Sacramento because that game could have 24 minutes of garbage time. Portland is clearly the better team but Oklahoma City is not as bad as you think, plus they are at home. I’d prefer that this line were 2 and not 5, but the Blazers are still fighting for seeding so they should try for at least 43 out of the 48 minutes.
SATURDAY NIGHT FREE NBA PICKS
Memphis at Milwaukee -6.5:
Memphis has won 3 in a row and 4 out of their last 5 which is amazing since they are a truly horrible team. The Bucks meanwhile have lost 8 of their last 10 but are at home after playing 5 of 6 on the road. There should be reversion to the mean for both teams with Memphis going back to sucking and Milwaukee going back to only marginally sucking. I’d prefer this line were 3 points but I’d also prefer to be Dwyane Wyane Wade, so it is irrelevant. If Richard Jefferson plays, he should be able to bother Rudy Gay enough to take away Memphis’s best scorer (and don’t cry about that OJ, you’re not the best scorer) while Ramon Sessions must relish going up against high drafted point guards like Mike Conley who he is currently better than. Take the Bucks but don’t tell anyone how you won the money, this game is so bad it makes me feel dirty.
Toronto at New York Under 220.5:
We all know both teams like to fill it up and yet in the two previous games these teams played against each other, the most total points were 214. Plus an early Saturday afternoon game in New York means one of two things: 1. everyone is too hung over from last night to play and thus it will be a sloppy game with a lot of turnovers 2. Everyone is too hung over from last night and thus no one will play defense. We’re obviously betting on scenario 1 today as it just takes one headache filled quarter to miss the over on 219.5. With any luck Chris Bosh did not get back to his room until 9am this morning.
LA Clippers +15 at Denver:
I am taking the Clippers and more than two touchdowns every time I get that line. It’s irrelevant whether or not it actually pays off, I just refuse to believe the Clips are two tds worse than anyone when they actually have talented NBA players on their team. Sure they are usually injured, and sure they don’t play well together, but I am always taking 15 when Baron Davis, Zach Randolph, Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon, and Marcus Camby are on my side.
New Jersey at Chicago -7.5:
Ugh, every game today sucks but none more than this one. There is a real chance New Jersey gets blown out as they have no reason to try in an afternoon game in Chicago. Seriously, this could be just a dreadful effort from the Nets today. That said, the Bulls are really a terrible team. I wish this line were 5 but since there is a 33% chance the Bulls run New Jersey off the court, we’re going to lay the points and hope it doesn’t hurt too badly.
