NBA regular season 1-27-10


Cavaliers vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
This should be an easy win for the Cavs, the T'Wolves have nowhere near the offensive firepower necessary to compete with the top teams.
Pacers vs Lakers (Slo's pick: Lakers)
This will be an easy win for the Lakers, on a road trip it's always important to take advantage of the games against bad teams.

Raptors vs Heat (Slo's pick: Raptors)
If the Raptors shoot well tonight they're going to come away with the win. However, I won't be the least bit surprised to see the Heat win tonight. This game could go either way.
Pistons vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Pistons have somewhat turned it on as of late but they're not going to win tonight. They match up horribly with the Grizzlies and expect Rudy Gay to go off tonight.

Nets vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Clippers)
The Nets are an embarrassment to all professional basketball, both the NBA and the teams overseas.

Bucks vs 76ers (Slo's pick: Bucks)
If the Bucks want to climb back into the playoff race (which they will) they're going to have to beat the teams that they should beat. There is no excuse for losing this game tonight in Milwaukee.
Thunder vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
The Bulls are smoking hot right now, although they are currently plagued with the flu they're still beating very good western conference teams on this long road trip. Russel Westbrook got the better of Derrick Rose earlier in the season in Chicago. If Rose plays tonight, I'll be surprised if he's not very aggressive offensively. Rose too is battling with the flu. They key for the Thunder in this game to slow it down and not let Rose get out in transition. If you slow the Bulls down you will beat them.

Rockets vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets are arguabally playing the best basketball in the league right now, they're going to pick up another win tonight against the always competitive Rockets.

Spurs vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Spurs' worst nightmare is a team like the Hawks. Not only are they loaded with talent, but they push the ball better than anyone except the Suns. The Hawks will win tonight in San Antonio and I won't be surpised to see them win dominantly.

Trailblazers vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
I love the way Deron Williams is playing right now, because of it the Jazz are on a roll and I'm not willing to go against their momentum right now.

Warriors vs Hornets (Slo's pick: Hornets)
The Warriors are playing on back to back nights. I usually don't like to pick teams playing the second half of back to backs against a team coming of one or multiple days off.


Slo's record on the season: 373-195
Slo's record last night: 4-1
