NBA Picks for MLK Day
It was definitely a great week for me, but I have to put two great weeks together for it to mean anything to me. Glad to see some other peeps nailed the Raps along with me yesterday (man, they should have won that game, though). Let's go:
CHICAGO +2.5 (PUNCHOUT) (da Bulls are a machine at home; I know they have lost four games at home to Western Conference teams, but we are getting those points again, so I'll gladly take them; I don't think we need them, though; Bulls by 7 points)
L.A. LAKERS -5.5 (PUNCHOUT) (Kobe and the Lakers will get some sweet revenge against D-Wade and the Heat; Miami has been cruising on the road, but it is now playing its fourth road game in six nights and sixth in eleven nights; it is the end of the road trip and I'm sure they are ready to get back home; Lakers have been phenomenal at home so far, despite losing three games to Eastern Conference teams at Staples; L.A. smokes Miami by 16 points)
NEW YORK -1 (the Knicks have a better winning percentage than Sac-atomatas, what?; yeah, that's right, they do!; New York gets revenge from a couple weeks ago)
MILWAUKEE +5.5 (sure, Redd is out, but when the Bobcats start laying this many points, it's time to grab the points)
MINNESOTA +3 (the Pistons are struggling without Chauncey, and the T-Wolves are in a groove; I think they keep it up for another day; also like heavy pub. on Detroit and line moving the other way)
PHOENIX -9 (man, I hate road favs., but I smell another blowout by the Suns; the line seems to be a bit high, and yes, there's a reason for that: the Suns should annihilate this team)
