NBA Regular Season 11-18-09


Celtics vs Warriors (Slo's pick: Celtics)
The Celtics haven't played since saturday night which is why they will run all over the Warriors tonight. The Celtics will win in a blowout.

Hawks vs Heat (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Hawks are one of the best teams in the league and that is becoming more and more obvious with every win. They are as talented as anyone (other than the Celtics) and with the right coaching they could break into the top three of the eastern conference taking either the Cavs' or Magic's place.

Pacers vs Knicks (Slo's pick: Pacers)
The Knicks are the second worst team in the league, they will lose again tonight in Indiana. If they think a 1-9 start is going to lure in LeBron James then they must be on some sort of hallucinogenic.

Magic vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Magic finally got Vince Carter and Rashard Lewis back into the rotation. But now a new problem has arose, PG Jameer Nelson is reported to be out for 4-5 weeks. Veteran Jason Williams will take his place tonight at the starting PG slot and I have no doubt that Williams will fill in Nelson's role sufficiently.

76ers vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: 76ers)
The Sixers are better than the Bobcats and for that reason will win tonight at home. Not all games require a long explanation.

Wizards vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavs)
The Cavs are playing well after their shaky 0-3 start. They will steamroll over the Wizards tonight in Washington.

Bucks vs Nets (Slo's pick: Bucks)
Brandon Jennings will have his way with the Nets tonight at home. The Bucks will win easily tonight against a team that is struggling to even contend in games, let alone win them.

T'Wolves vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Rockets)
The Rockets are playing much better than I had expected, they will win tonight in Minnesota.

Grizzlies vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies have been a big disappointment so far this season. If they want to turn it around these are the game they will have to win. I think the Grizzlies will beat the Clippers by about 7 tonight at home.

Jazz vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Raptors)
The Raptors really impressed me last week when they came back to beat the Bulls in the fourth quarter, I think they're going to get the win tonight in Utah.

Mavericks vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Mavs)
The Mavs should run all over the Spurs. As good as the Spurs are, they are terrible against uptempo teams. If the Mavs dictate the pace tonight then they will win.

Trailblazers vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Blazers)
The shorthanded Pistons are playing back to back nights against two superior teams. They will lose again tonight, this time against the Trailblazers in Portland.

Slo's record on the season: 100-56
Slo's record last night: 5-3
