NBA Picks for Fri. May 16
The home team rolls again! It's still mind-boggling how many times the home team has won in this round. Let's hit up another home team.
Play:
UTAH -4 (the Jazz are too good at home and the Lakers have not shown me that they are ready to close out on the road; the Jazz are the better rebounding team, and at home they will shoot better from the field; I look for Utah to take much better care of the ball after 18 turnovers in Game 5; Deron Williams has been great in this series, and I would expect him to lead this team in being more aggressive in this game)
Opinion:
BOSTON +2.5 (can't play this one because the C's have shown us nothing on the road, except maybe on how not to play; at the same time, though, I don't trust the Cavs in this spot either; I'll just root for my C-Town boys)
