Knicks Over Celtics: Knicks coming off of a thriller
of a game last week. I see them riding
that momentum like a homeless man on a subway car. Led solely by the best player in the state, Douglass Pizza All-American Muhammed Turan, the Knicks are a total one man show, kind of like that guy who plays the drums, harmonica and accordion at the same time down at the boardwalk. In fact, the city the Knicks play for is Turanto. Look it up.
It's a wonder the Celtics are even planning to show up this week. Rumor has it that the Celtic defense is sponsored by Charmin. 'Cuz they're soft.
If I were a betting man, aka an infidel, I would take the Knicks in a 6 point win.Sixers Over Nuggets: The Nuggets play hard but have been as inconsistent as Amy Winehouse's rehab appointments. The Sixers are out to prove that their team name isn't taken from their point total of 46 in last week's soul-crushing loss. Aymen Dalembert and Amre "The Egyptian Jason Kapono" Hamouda will be key this game.
Sixers by 14.Blazers Over Suns: The Suns are sky-high (Get it? Sun? Sky-high? I need some coffee...) after their demolition of the 46'ers. The Blazers should be at full-strength after a short-handed, demoralizing, kick-to-the-man-parts loss last week to the Turanto Knicks. I expect little to no defense and both teams to jack up 3-pointers at a disturbing pace. Good luck to the statkeepers. Also, Tariq "Harry Potter" Yaqobi will have a huge game to celebrate the release of his new film.
Accio a Blazers win by a wand's length! ...Or 4 points.Cavs Over Nets: The Nets are coming off a win over the Hornets that looked like Sam Cassell's face: ugly. The Nets won't win any beauty pageants with their style of play, but as some fat white guy keeps grunting, they seem to find a way to "git 'er dun". Raj's instructions to bring popcorn may be detrimental to the butter-fingered Cavs, who drop dimes like a bad bank teller. The Cavaliers however are going to be a difficult matchup for the post-up heavy Nets.
Cavs by 5.Raptors Over Hornets: The Hornets play solid defense, but struggle to put the ball in the basket. Unfortunately for them, that is the primary objective of the game of basketball. The Raptors are coming off a horrendous shooting night against the Spurs, and will look to get back on track before the playoffs begin. In the only inter-species matchup of the week, I expect the Ragin' Raptors to run rampant against the Hapless Hornets.
Raptors by 18.Spurs Over Lakers: The Spurs have announced this week that their new sponsor is Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield. The Lakers have announced theirs as Bertucci's
Brick Oven Restaurant. On a more positive note, their shooting percentages do have them in second place to Albert Pujols in the batting title race.
Spurs by 16.These are my picks. Remember, nod your head and repeat what the little yellow man says:
