Pat’s 11-3 NBA Picks

Celtics vs. Wizards

The Wizards have their first home game today against a win less Celtics team. The Celtics are 0-2, while the Wizards are 0-1. The Celtics are much better then their record shows two games into the year. The Wizards on the other hand, not so much. They played Cleveland in their first game and lost by ten, after coming back from 16 to tie it in the fourth quarter. They couldn’t keep Anderson Varajao off the boards. I don’t think they will be able to stop Garnett from getting rebounds either. Also, in their last game they let Kyrie Irving go off for 29 points. They will go against another start point guard in Rondo today. I think that the only way the Wizards can win is if Seraphin comes back and has a huge game, they get the majority of the loose balls, and they make their lay-ups. I don’t even know if that would be enough. I think tat Garnett will get at least 15 boards and Rondo will get at least 13 assists.

Pat’s 10/30/12 NBA Picks

With the first games of the NBA year approaching us now, I figured I would put out who I think will win tonight.

Wizards vs. Cavaliers 7:00

The Wizards will kick off the NBA season against the Cavaliers, in a match up of two teams who drafted in the top 5 in the 2012 draft. The Cavaliers took Dion Waiters with the 4th overall pick to pair up with Kyrie Irving in the back court. I personally think that they should have taken Barnes with that pick rather than Waiters. The Wizards, selected Brad Beal with the 3rd pick to join forces with John Wall in DC. Unfortunately, for this one John Wall will be out, as he will be for about the next ten games. Also, for tonight, Nene will be out along with Kevin “the phin” Seraphin. That leaves the Wizards starting Price, Beal, Ariza, Booker, and Okafor. I don’ think that will be enough to beat out the Cavs in this one.

Hammel to Start game 1 of ALDS

Buck Showalter just announced in his press conference that Jason Hammel will be the starter for game 1 of the ALDS. Hammel’s start in this one will be his first start since September 11th in a start against the Rays when he got pulled after 3.1 innings due to knee injury. In Hammel’s last start against the Yankees he went 5 innings and gave up 1 run in the Orioles 10-6 win on September 6th. Hammel has not won a start since June 22nd in a game against the Nationals. Hammel has a record of 3.48 on the year and a record of 8-6.
