NBA Regular Season 11-30-09


Bucks vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
This game marks the second Rose vs Jennings battle of the season. In their first matchup Jennings played better than Rose all the way up to the fourth quarter where Rose went off for 10 points in under 6 minutes to give his Bulls the win. The Bulls will win tonight basically because they're desperate. The Bulls have been blown out in their last four games by the top teams in the Western Conference. The Bucks are a big drop off from the teams the Bulls have been playing and therefore they will get the win. Also, it's important to know that Bulls' guard Kirk Hinrich and Bucks' center Andrew Bogut are both out for tonight's game.

Mavericks vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Mavs are more talented and deeper than the Sixers. They should win this game at home.

Jazz vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz prey on unintelligent teams. They will run circles around the Grizzlies tonight at home.

Warriors vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Pacers)
I'm very reluctant to take the Pacers in this game but I see them causing matchup problems all over the floor for this Warriors team. First of all, the Warriors don't have the size to battle with Hibbert down low which means the Pacers will probably dominate the glass. But most importantly, the Warriors have no one to guard Danny Granger, I'll be surprised if he doesn't have a very good night offensively. To win this game the Pacers are going to have to keep it slow paced. If they try to run with the Warriors they're not only going to lose but they will also give up around 120 points. The Warriors aren't really a good team but they can definitely score.


Slo's record on the season: 159-84
Slo's record last night: 6-4
