AC'S NBA 2008-2009 NBA FREE PICKS PLAYOFFS WEEK 4:
We’re now well into round two of the NBA playoffs and the cream is starting to rise to the top. Cleveland has yet to lose a game, the Lakers are in control against Houston, and Paul Pierce has put the Celtics on his back and led them against Orlando (unfortunately Pierce’s back is seemingly broken and he is leading them to losses, but whatever). With the world changing daily as we are in the vortex of a global recession and a forgotten yet not going anywhere energy crisis, I thought we’d have a brief current event playoff quiz. So get out your pencils, your calculators, and your latest editions of Hustler because this is going to be a real doozy.
1. Which is a form of torture the Bush administration was against for terrorists?:
A. Waterboarding.
B. Having the terrorists’ cell temperature turned up to 120 degrees and not giving them a drink of water until Stephon Marbury hit a jump shot.
C. Having to listen to Jon Barry announce basketball games with the volume on high.
D. Putting the terrorist in a maid uniform and having him provide “room service” to Kobe Bryant’s hotel room.
2. What things should you avoid doing in order to be safe from the Swine Flu?:
A. Sniffing Yao Ming’s socks.
B. Traveling to Mexico.
C. Dating Dirk Nowitzki’s girlfriend.
D. Sitting next to Jack Nicholson at a Lakers game.
3. What are green shoots?:
A. What the Celtics do on offense.
B. What Gerald “The Scarecrow” Green is not doing for Dallas in the playoffs as he is glued to the bench.
C. Small positive signs and data points that the second derivative of the economy is getting better.
D. An anagram for “Ho Greets Son” which is a happy/sad day in the life of every NBA player when he has to introduce his kid to his new groupie.
4. What does it mean to have enough reserves?
A. Not having to play Mikki Moore.
B. A bank holding enough cash to be able to pay back depositors in the case of high bank loan losses or a run on the bank.
C. Letting your second team close out games like the Denver Nuggets did against Dallas with JR Smith and Chris Andersen.
D. An NBA player with a black book containing the names of at least four groupies for every NBA city he visits.
5. What does HCG stand for?
A. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin: The female fertility drug Manny Ramirez tested positive for which is also used at the end of steroid cycles.
B. Home Court Gain: The process where NBA refs call more fouls in favor of teams playing at home (and why does this always happen, why?).
C. How Can Garnett: The beginning of many questions Celtics fans are asking constantly as in:
“How can Garnett not play through his knee pain if it doesn’t require surgery?”
“How can Garnett heal quicker to save our season?”
“How can Garnett be more fun to watch on the bench than most players are to watch on the court?”
D. He Can’t (be) Guarded: The book on LeDong James. There is no stopping LeDong, especially with Paul Pierce apparently having died three weeks ago.
For those of you keeping score at home, as always all of the answers are D.
FRIDAY FREE NBA PLAYOFF PICKS
Boston +5 at Orlando:
Question: What do all of these have in common?
1. Your stomach two hours after eating a giant bean burrito, a plate of nachos, and a serving of refried beans
2. Karl Rove
3. Manny Ramirez’s excuse for failing a drug test
4. The Jameer Nelson-less Orlando Magic
Answer: They are all completely full of shit.
This Magic team has no heart and a go to guy (Dwight Howard) who can’t be gone to because he has no offensive moves other than dunking the ball. Plus Howard loves to block shots by swatting them out of bounds rather than tapping them to a teammate which is utterly moronic. Any team that lets Eddie House drop 31 on them is full of shit. Sorry Orlando but you’re not beating Boston by 5 points, no way, no how, especially with Rafer Alston out and Anthony “Beetlejuice” Johnson running the point for you and trying to stop Rajon Rondo.
LA Lakers -1.5 at Houston:
This game will tell if Houston is for real or just a figment of Ron Artest’s imagination (which is one awesome imagination, umm or maybe it’s not an imagination). The point is, LA is still the best team in the West until proven otherwise and Ron Artest is in the midst of a career metamorphosis from bad guy to slightly insane lovable hard worker ala Charles Barkley and Joseph Stalin (ok, maybe Stalin never reached the second part, but whatever). So take the Lakers since this is basically a pick ‘em and hope Gasol and Odom get it going.
SATURDAY FREE NBA PLAYOFF PICKS
Denver at Dallas Under 209.5:
The Mavericks could easily squeak one out today but Dirk Nowitzki is such a wild card given it’s not clear where his focus will be since the stripper living in his house and apparently having his baby is a convicted felon who may have stolen his credit cards (and this is really just an awesome story, I can’t wait for the television movie. My vote is for Richard Moll to play Dirk and for Devine Brown to play Dirk’s lady friend.). Aside from that, everything should be fine for Dallas.
For the Mavericks to win they are going to have to slow the game down a bit and they should be able to control the pace at home. Take the under and root for Dampier to be able to clog up the lane and dominate the boards.
Cleveland -8.5 at Atlanta:
Joe Johnson may not play, Al Horford may not play, Marvin Williams may not play, and LeDong James will play. They can’t make this line high enough for AC to take the Hawks. It’s probably a better bet to take the over since everyone is taking Cleveland -8.5 and everyone is always wrong but AC is going to be a man of the people today like Fred Rogers or Ron Jeremy and go with the Cavs.
