NBA Regular Season 2-19-10


T'Wolves vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
The Bulls are much more talented than the T'Wolves so this is an easy pick. I'm very interested to see how the acquisition of Flip Murray effects the flow of the offense.

Trailblazers vs Celtics (Slo's pick: Celtics)
It's about time the Celtics go on a big winning streak and re-establish themselves as a force in the East.

76ers vs Spurs (Slo's pick: Spurs)
The Spurs should win this game with ease. Judging by the talent differential this one shouldn't even be close.

Wizards vs Nuggets (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets are arguably the best team in the West right now. They should have no problem dispensing with the Wizards who basically traded all of their talent away at the deadline.

Bobcats vs Cavaliers (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The Cavs had their 13 game winning streak snapped last night by the Nuggets. I expect them to bounce back with a win tonight in Charlotte.

Hornets vs Pacers (Slo's pick: Hornets)
The Hornets, even without superstar Chris Paul, are better than the Pacers. They should win this game tonight at home.

Pistons vs Bucks (Slo's pick: Bucks)
The Bucks are playing better than the Pistons right now and that's why they get the pick. The Pistons have been a major disappointment this year and they just can't seem to break out and make some noise.

Nets vs Raptors (Slo's pick: Raptors)
The Nets are actually starting to compete in games, don't be surprised to see them start winning more often than they have been. Of course, that's not saying much.

Magic vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Magic)
I'm only taking the Magic in this game because they're home. Pretty much every game is important for these teams right now as they make the push to move up in the standings.

Grizzlies vs Heat (Slo's pick: Grizzlies)
The Grizzlies are headed for a win tonight in Memphis. The Heat aren't playing well and frankly I think the Grizzlies are an overall better team.

Suns vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Hawks are a better, younger version of the Suns. The main difference is that the Hawks can also thrive in a half court offense.

Warriors vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The Jazz have been red hot in the last month and a half and I have a hard time seeing the Warriors derail their success.


Slo's record on the season: 448-221
Slo's record last night: 2-0
