NBA Regular Season 12-18-09


Celtics vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Celtics)
I won't pick against the Celtics in the midst of an 11 game winning streak. The Celts will get an easy win tonight at home.

Raptors vs Nets (Slo's pick: Raptors)
After being blown out in their last two games the Raptors are going to win tonight at home.

Hawks vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Hawks)
This game is a good test for Hawks. The Jazz are a team right around their talent level, whoever wants it more tonight will come out victorious. Expect a high scoring game as both teams will be looking to run on each other all night.

Hornets vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Hornets aren't the same pushover team we saw in the beginning of the season. Still, the Nuggets should win this game in New Orleans.

Cavaliers vs Bucks (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Cavaliers will win this game as they are trying to keep pace with the Magic and Celtics.

T'Wolves vs Kings (Slo's pick: Kings)
The Kings are a young team and this is a trap game for them. If the Kings come to play tonight they will win.

Knicks vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Clippers)
The Knicks are playing the second half of back to back games tonight. I have serious doubt that they will have the legs to run with the Clippers for a full 48 minutes.

Thunder vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Thunder)
If the Thunder execute they will win in a blowout.

Mavericks vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Mavs have too much firepower for the Rockets to contain for a full game.

Grizzlies vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The only reason I'm taking the Grizzlies in this game is because they have the luxury of playing at home. Also, the Pacers don't have the defense to stop both Rudy Gay and OJ Mayo.

Warriors vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Warriors)
The Wizards can't run with the Warriors, if the Warriors can control the pace they will run their way to a win.


Slo's record on the season: 233-113
Slo's record on Dec. 16: 11-1
