NBA Regular Season 12-5-09


Bobcats vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Bobcats)
Last night the Bobcats handed the Nets their first win of the season. Tonight I expect them to come home hungry and ready to avenge last night's embarrassing loss.

Bulls vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Bulls)
Derrick Rose had a rough night last night in the Bulls' 13 point loss in Cleveland. Tonight I think he's going to explode offensively. I'm not sure if that's going to mean points or assists but it will definitely be one of the two. Joakim Noah had words for LeBron James last night after the game was already out of hand, which clearly shows that he's very frustrated with his team's performance. I expect him to have a big night tonight as well. Also, Bulls' defensive specialist Kirk Hinrich may be coming back to the lineup tonight which would be a huge boost. Even if he doesn't, I still think the Bulls will win tonight at home.

T'Wolves vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
Despite the Jazz playing a road game on the second half of back to back games, I still see them winning big tonight in Minnesota.

Spurs vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Spurs are coming off a home loss to the red hot Celtics. I see them dropping another one tonight to Carmelo Anthony and the Nuggets. I think Anthony is going to have a big night tonight in the Nuggets' close win.

Mavericks vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Mavericks)
The Hawks lost at home to the Knicks last night and as a title contender that just can't happen, They will lose again tonight against the Mavs in Dallas.

Suns vs Kings (Slo's pick: Suns)
The Suns have gotten trounced in their last two games. Tonight I think they're going to beat Sacramento badly in their return back to Phoenix.

Trailblazers vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Trailblazers)
Unless Trevor Ariza and Aaron Brooks play a perfect game the Rockets will lose tonight in Portland.

Warriors vs Magic (Slo's pick: Magic)
The Warriors have nobody to slow down Dwight Howard, I'll be shocked to see them win tonight.

Clippers vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Clippers)
I'm taking the Clippers for no other reason than that they're home.


Slo's record on the season: 179-97
Slo's record last night: 5-5
