Boston Celtics at Miami Heat

Game 7 Eastern Conference Finals

8:30 PM EST, ESPN

Spread: Heat by 8

Well it comes down to all of the marbles now as the Heat demolished the Celtics on Thursday night leading to tonight’s epic game 7 finale where the winner moves on to the NBA finals and the loser goes home for good. As for last game I finally actually correctly picked the Heat to win and was pretty close on Lebron’s fantastic night. I don’t mean to toot my own horn but I did predict him to put up 42 pts 13 rbs and 10 assts and he ended up with 45 pts 15 rbs and 5 assts. Not exact but pretty close. Obviously he didn’t hit the game winner that I predicted him to hit but that is just because he dominated so much and the Celtics were so off that he never got a chance so I consider that null and void. Basically I am a guru.  Read more...

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics

Game 6 Eastern Conference Finals

8:30 PM EST, ESPN

Spread: Miami by 1.5

Well somehow I managed to outdo myself once again as I picked the Heat to win for the third straight time (well actually I have picked them every game this series) and for the third straight time I was wrong. Like I said before my last post, after my recent success (or lack there of) the only reasons anyone would read my prediction was for a good laugh or to get rich off of the team that I don’t pick for tonight. Still though I am as stubborn as they come and am probably going to have to go with Heat tonight though after watching first take with Skippy B and Stephen A today I actually had to rethink my choice.  Read more...

Boston Celtics at Miami Heat

Game 5 Eastern Conference Finals

8:30 PM EST, ESPN

Heat by 7.5

Well for anybody who as read my last 2 predictions (had the Heat winning both) for this series there are only a few reasons you could possibly be reading this one: 1. Your trying to find the team you want to bet against and are using my pick as that barometer. 2. You figure that I am due for a correct pick. 3. You are in need of a good laugh. The last one is the most likely because the last 2 games of this series I was pretty convinced the Heat were going to win and take control of this series against the older and injured Celtics. Not so much. My horrible selections aside, at least this series has gotten very interesting and there is a ton of drama in this series.  Read more...

Heat vs Celtics Game 4 Prediction

Miami Heat at Boston Celtics

Game 4 Eastern Conference Final

8:30 PM EST, ESPN

After beating the Celtics twice in Miami and with the 2nd game being in an epic overtime thriller, I thought that Boston would be dead for game 3 with their old legs and the Heat would wear them out in the 2nd half (basically I thought the series was over). Naturally I was wrong and the Celtics came out and thumped the Heat led by KG who dominated the Heat’s bigs. The Celtics are going to need another game like that tonight if they want to win again though because even though they romped in game 3, I still think the Heat are the better team by a solid margin. The 2 key players for the Celts are KG and Rondo because they both are much better than anybody that the Heat have at those respective positions so they basically need to control the game in order for Boston to win this one.  Read more...

John Wall: B+

John started off the year poorly and was being ripped by the sports world. Then in the second half of the year he has been playing great. His field goal percentage is better than it was last year, and his points have gone up, as well as his rebounding. The reason John Wall is getting a B+ is because of his shooting and assists. He is 3 for 36 on three-pointers this season, last year he was 34-115. Although he was not shooting well last year, 29% is much better than .083%. His assists have gone down this year too, from 8 apg to 7.7 apg. All in all Wall has had a pretty good season and will hopefully improve even more next season. His best game was against the Rockets in January. He had 38 points and 8 assists, along with 6 rebounds.  Read more...

I ruined my perfect season last Monday when I went 0-2 on the night.  Time to build some momentum in NBA before March Madness completely takes over. 

New York Knicks at Chicago Bulls

Spread: Bulls by 8.5

8:00 PM ET

These two teams enter tonight’s matchup going in opposite directions.  The Knicks are in the midst of a 5 game losing streak (0-5 ATS) while the Bulls have won 9 of 10 (7-3 ATS).  The Bulls will likely be without starters Richard Hamilton and Luol Deng tonight, while Joakim Noah will be returning from illness.  The Bulls will also be without key reserve CJ Watson.  This hefty 8.5 line gives me enough incentive to take the Knicks against the banged up Bulls.   Read more...
