NBA Regular Season 12-19-09


Bulls vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Bulls would need to play their best game of the year to have a chance tonight. Unless John Salmons gives the Bulls any kind of production they will lose by 20+.

Magic vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Blazers have nobody to battle with Dwight Howard down low, expect Howard and the Magic to bully their way towards a win.

Bobcats vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
Although the Jazz are playing the second half of back to back games tonight they should still beat the Bobcats in Charlotte.

76ers vs Clippers (Slo's pick: 76ers)
The Sixers are coming off their best win of the season last night in Boston. They will ride their momentum to a home win tonight against the Clippers.

Nets vs Lakers (Slo's pick: Lakers)
The Nets' fans are in for a treat tonight. They get to watch Kobe destroy their middle school basketball team.

Rockets vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Thunder)
The Thunder are more talented than the Rockets and therefore will get the win. Not all games require a deep analysis. Sometimes one team is just better.

Bucks vs Kings (Slo's pick: Bucks)
This game is between the two best rookies this season. The Kings got blown out last night in Minnesota and all of their starters logged major minutes. For that reason the Bucks will win tonight at home.

Spurs vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Spurs)
It's hard to watch the Spurs this year. The Spurs' great team throughout the decade is starting to deteriorate right before our eyes. The Pacers' game plan should be to push the ball up the floor whenever possible, doing that will give them a fighting chance tonight. Still, I have a hard time seeing the Spurs losing to the Pacers tonight at home.

Suns vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Suns)
This will be a very high scoring game, neither team plays defense with any intensity. There is no team in the league who can try to outscore the Suns in a shootout type game. The Suns will win big tonight at home.


Slo's record on the season: 238-119
Slo's record last night: 5-6
