NBA Regular Season 2-9-10


Pacers vs Bulls (Slo's pick: Bulls)
Even without Joakim Noah the Bulls are way better than the Pacers in every phase of the game. The Bulls should win big tonight in Indiana.

Cavaliers vs Nets (Slo's pick: Cavaliers)
The chances of the Nets winning this game are equal to the chances of Michael Jordan coming back to the NBA and winning another MVP award.

76ers vs T'Wolves (Slo's pick: T'Wolves)
I usually don't like to pick young teams on the road but I feel like the T'Wolves match up very well with the Sixers. I see them getting the win tonight in Philadelphia.

Bobcats vs Wizards (Slo's pick: Bobcats)
The Bobcats will win easily tonight at home. The Wizards are going to stay in it for awhile but the Bobcats will wear them down.

Heat vs Rockets (Slo's pick: Heat)
The Heat are slipping right now in terms of placement in the Eastern conference. They need to start winning if they want to keep pace with the Bulls, Bobcats, and Raptors.

Knicks vs Kings (Slo's pick: Knicks)
As much as the Knicks' inconsistency annoys me, I have no choice but to pick them in this game. While I think the Kings are more talented, they just aren't playing well enough to justify picking them. Especially not on the road.

Bucks vs Pistons (Slo's pick: Bucks)
The Bucks are going to win in this Central division battle. The Pistons reign in the east has come to a somewhat heartbreaking end. They will continue to dwell in the bottom of the standings for years to come barring some major acquisition through free agency or draft.

Grizzlies vs Hawks (Slo's pick: Hawks)
The Grizzlies and Hawks are very similar teams. Basically the Grizzlies are the bad version of the Hawks. The Hawks will win this game in the fourth quarter.

Nuggets vs Mavericks (Slo's pick: Nuggets)
The Nuggets and Mavs are both contenders in the west. It will be interesting to see who comes out on top in this game. The main reason why I'm taking the Nuggets is because they enjoy one of the best home crowds in all of sports.

Trailblazers vs Thunder (Slo's pick: Thunder)
The Thunder will beat the Blazers tonight in Portland. The Blazers have been absolutely cleaned out by injuries in the past 2 months. Don't be surprised to see them start slipping in the standings.

Clippers vs Jazz (Slo's pick: Jazz)
The argument can be made that the Jazz are the most dangerous team in the league right now. Deron Williams is playing as well as I've ever seen him and his supporting cast is doing their job.


Slo's record on the season: 414-210
Slo's record last night: 2-1
