I have to take the Nuggets for the simple fact they smacked the Hornets around in New Orleans just two nights ago. I know 10.5 is a lot in the Playoffs, but I will roll the dice. Wade and the Heat will get under the 5.5 they are getting from the Hawks.
Nuggets -10.5
Heat +5.5
Overall Record:
NBA 35-28

Has anyone else observed Kevin Garnett excessively hooting and hollering from the sidelines during the Celtics and Bulls series? It is one thing when he would taunt and bark at other players while healthy and on the court, but now he is off the chain from the sidelines. KG is constantly flapping his gums and making ridiculous mad faces from the bench and I have become more frustrated each game with his antics. Last night though I finally had enough of Garnett after Rondo’s questionable foul at the end of the Game 5 on Brad Miller. Miller ended up bloody and seemed quite dazed from the hard foul, but he still had to try and gather himself in order to shoot two free throws. The Bulls were down by two with two seconds left and not surprisingly Miller missed the first free throw. Garnett saw this as an opportunity to yell at the top of his lungs that Miller is a choker and of course he included every four letter word in the book during his tirade.
KG might want to take a step back and think about the fact the Bulls lost as many games this year as they one yet they are giving the Celtics a whale of a series. Secondly, he might want to think about the fact Miller probably saw stars rotating around the basket due to Rondo’s foul. I think it would be great if Garnett would quit showing his a$$ and instead sit on it for the rest of the Playoffs because he is really tarnishing his image. I’m done with him already, but others are sure to follow suit if he continues his moronic ways!
* The Denver Nuggets beat the New Orleans Hornets last night by the largest margin ever on the road in a NBA playoff game. The Nuggets won by a whopping 58 points via a 121-63 win.
* The Atlanta Hawks won their first playoff game on the road in 12 years last night in Miami with a 81-71 victory. The victory ended a slide where the Hawks got pounded by 132 in their last five playoff road games.
* The Chicago Blackhawks won their first playoff series in 13 years last night with a 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames. The Blackhawks closed out the series 4-2 and they will face the Vancouver Canucks in the next round.
* The Boston Red Sox have won 11 straight games while the Florida Marlins have now lost 7 in a row.
I really like the Spurs with their backs against the wall tonight at home. I understand they haven’t played well at all this series, but I see this game going to Game 6. Secondly, I’m taking the 76ers basically because they have played Orlando very close every game.
Spurs -5.5
76ers +8.5

Break out the broom in Detroit today because the Cavs will close out that series with ease. The Pistons mailed it in many weeks ago and King James and the Cavs seem to be on a crash course to the NBA Finals. Rockets also cover tonight at home to make that series 3-1 Houston.
Cavs -8.5
Rockets -4.5

We always thought Paulus was a Dookie tride and true, but in the last few weeks he has made us think differently. First we got word Paulus was going to join the Michigan Wolverines football team and then it appeared he might go to Syracuse instead to play quarterback. Now comes this picture where it appears Paulus is rocking a hated Tarheels shirt and posing for photos? The baby doesn’t seem to be amused by Paulus’s mysterious ways.

I really like the Heat tonight at home after the way Dwayne Wade and the gang played in Game 2 versus Atlanta. I also like the Lakers to rebound from a disappointing loss in Game 3 to the Jazz.
Heat -4
Lakers -4

I was very confident about the Cavs last night and for awhile it looked like the lock of the century. In the end they only covered by one and unfortunately Portland couldn’t quite get over the hump, but they did win. I like my two picks for tonight so follow if you feel the same.
Nuggets -5.5
Hawks/Heat under 184
Overall Record:
NBA 31-22
MLB 25-16-1

I have to say I would even take the Cavs if they were favored by 15 tonight at home against the Pistons. Detroit is flat out “turrable” and they mailed it in weeks ago. I’m not as confident about the Blazers, but if they don’t want to get swept a win tonight is a must. Happy gambling!
Cavaliers -11
Blazers -5.5

NBA 30-21
