NBA Regular Season 1-29-10


Hornets vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
With the way Derrick Rose is playing right now it would make no sense to pick against the Bulls tonight. On Thursday Rose became the first bull to be selected to the all-star game since the Jordan era.

Hawks vs Celtics (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Celtics are coming off a tough loss last night in Orlando, going into Atlanta and winning tonight is highly unlikely. The Celtics have trouble with the Hawks to begin with because of their athleticism, but add in the C's dead legs and this is a losing equation for Boston.

Pacers vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Pacers would need to get LeBron James in foul trouble early tonight. Generally that doesn't happen since the refs seem to love LeBron with a fiery passion. The Cavs will win big tonight in Indiana.

76ers vs Lakers (Slo's pick: Lakers)
The Lakers should kill the Sixers tonight. There's no reason why they shouldn't win a lot. Also, don't be surprised to see Kobe Bryant put on a show in his hometown.

Pistons vs Heat (Slo's pick: Heat)
The Pistons are starting to struggle again after breaking their 13 game losing streak. I won't be shocked to see another sizable losing streak hit Detroit.

T'Wolves vs Clippers (Slo's pick: Clippers)
The T'Wolves don't match up well with the Clippers. If they execute, the Clippers should win tonight in Minnesota.

Nets vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Wizards)
The Nets finally won on Wednesday pushing their record all the way up to 4-40...that win filled their quota for about a month.

Thunder vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
In a game like this I'm always tempted to over think, in this case that would mean taking the Thunder. I'm just going to go with the logical choice here and take the Nuggets.

Rockets vs Trailblazers (Slo's pick: Rockets)
The Trailblazers are so horribly inconsistent that I can never trust them to play a good hard game. With the Rockets at least I know what I'm getting.

Spurs vs Grizzlies (Slo's pick: Spurs)
The Spurs have been playing well lately, I never like to pick against a team with momentum.

Jazz vs Kings (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz are going to destroy the Kings tonight, I'll be somewhat surprised if the Kings can even keep it close.

Warriors vs Bobcats (Slo's pick: Bobcats)
The Bobcats need to start winning again if they want to keep pace with the Bulls. I see the next few games as one level under a must win game.


Slo's record on the season: 384-197
Slo's record last night: 2-1
