0 for 1.. the hazzards of only picking one game are magnified when you miss. And miss I did on the Pups who are still finding their way on how to run with pack in the NBA. The Lakers are clearly pulling the chute. As a player it must be hard to know the game plan is to be putrid.
On to tonight.
Boogie goes to Indy: Sacto’s chances in any game rest on the man child that is Demarcus Cousins. Boogie has won them their last 2 and he got robbed by call on Dwayne Wade against Chicago that would have made it 3. Sacto is only 2 games out of the 8th seed in the west and they only have to catch Denver. Who would have thought losing Rudy Gay would pay off in a bit of win streak. Indy comes home for a B2B after losing to the Pups last night. They also managed to lose to the Knicks and Lakers in their last 5. Not exactly inspiring confidence in a team looking to make the post season. Tough call on this one.. going to go with Sacto
Hornets at Knicks: Ah the Knicks. Led by Phearless Phil and his band of incompetents. Phil has pretty much phucked the Knicks for a while longer. The Zen Master built this team to win now. They are 5 and 15 in their last 20 and are comfortably in 11th . No spin can make that better. Now Phil is going to try and trade Carmello ( only if Carmelo agrees to waive his no trade clause) which will get him only pennies on the dollar. It’s the right thing to do.. blow it up .. but Phearless Phil is such an incompetent doofus of an executive (he should next work in Sacto) that instead of 3 or 4 year rebuild it will be 6 or more. The Knicks are a mess but not as bad as the Bulls. Kemba just got picked to be an AS.He deserves it. Kemba now gets to return to the scene of one his best games as a collegian in the Big East and put on show in front of long suffering Knicks fans at the Mecca. Hope the metal detectors are working at MSG and keep sharp objects out the hands of the Knicks faithful as Charlotte wins on the road.
Magic at Celts: The hopeless Magic trudge north to beantown. How bad are the magic. They have been passed by the Sixers. Ouch. Isiah Thomas will shred the Magicians tonight as he is going to guarded by another Hennigan whiff of a draft pick in Elfrid Payton. He of the worst haircut in the NBA. Frank Vogel has to be beating a path to Rob Hennigans door on a daily basis to keep asking him to unload some of the flea bags Rob has acquired or drafted in the oddly constructed team that even Pop would have trouble with. Teams looking to trade are looking to see when, not if, Olrando begins to clean up their roster. Celts in a walk tonight.
Milwaukee at Your Toronto Raptors: Raps need a win as bad as the Bucks. Raps are at home. They will hopefully get back their best scorer in DD for an indeterminate number of minutes as he comes back off the ankle sprain. . Raps somehow own the Bucks just like Bulls own the Raps. Despite the Alphabet and “all that length” (listen for that line from Devlin and Leo at least 5 times) that is the calling card of the Bucks the Raps gut out a win. It won’t be pretty…but it will be a win.
Whiz visit the Hawks. Might be the game of the night. With a win the Whiz can draw within a half game of fourth. The Hawks need a win likely just keep pace with Boston who they want to catch for 3rd and avoid the Lebrons. Gortat vs Howard. Wall vs Schoeder. Beal vs Bazemore. Morris vs Millsap. Porter vs Sefalosha. The eye test says the Whiz are better at 3 positions. The head says they don’t win on the road. And the Head is correct. Team Beige the non descript Hawks win another in a town that barely notices they have a pro basketball team.
Miami in Chicago: The tire fire that is the Chicago Bulls rages on. Butler and Wade apparently hate the rookies for laying down on the job. Butler also doesn’t like his coach. Rondo hates Butler and Wade and calls them out. The rookies and second year guys wonder WTF is going on. Taj Gibson has to wonder who he pissed off to be stuck in this shit show. Fred Hoiberg who is in way over his head on this is happy that his 25M 5 year deal is fully guaranteed. Still the Bulls get to play a team held together with duct tape and spit in the Miami Heat whose game plan is to get into the top 5 of the lottery. They help that bit of strategy tonight and lose to the Bulls who really are dead men walking. Jalen Rose once called them the second best team in the east in December after a mystery win over the Lebrons. GarPax won’t admit it yet but they are in the same spot as the Knicks. They have to pull the chute and start again.
