FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 8, 2009
Greetings folks. We had probably our worse night of the season last night going 1-3. It brings our season ATS record to 82-70-3. You don;t have to tell us-we know that is terrible. In efforts to get back on the winning side, we are conjuring up some of our old friends to help us out:
Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back After An Extended Vacation...We Are Sorry Basketball Handciapping Gods. We Won't Let It Happen Again.
And on with the picks:
Timberwolves @ Raptors -7.5: The T’Wolves are finally healthy and getting big contributions from their studs. Kevin Love has showed the promise of his first round pick status, and they are hot (on 4 straight covers). They travel north to face a Raptors team that is absolutely terrible on D, but has covered and won their last two times out. The Raptors have yet to win 3 straight games this year. They may break that streak tonight, but they won’t cover. Take the T’Wolves and the points.
Nuggets @ Bobcats +3.5: Talk about a tale of two teams. These teams could not be more opposite right now. The Bobcats are just terrible right now while the Nuggets continue to pound teams. The Bobcats are off 3 straight no covers while the Nuggets have covered 4 straight. The line is pretty low and it leads us to believe that it is a trap. However, we are going to stick to our numbers. Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Bucks @ Celtics -12.5: This is another game of total opposites. The Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the league right now while the Bucks are one of the coldest. That said, the Bucks have owned this match-up as of late (7-3 ATS in the last 10 meetings) and they are a better (surprisingly) rebounding team. The Celtics have not been good giving double digit points. That said, we are rollin’ with them. They are rested and focused. Take the Celtics and give the points.
Kings @ Hornets -8.5: This is the most intriguing line of the night. These teams are almost identical in nearly all facets of the game, but the Hornets are laying a high number. The Kings are 8-0 ATS in the last 8 head-to-head meetings. Also, over 65% of the money is on the Kings and this line has gone up! It screams trap! We are not falling for it. We love it that CP3 is back for the Hornets. Take the Hornets and give the points.
Cavs @ Grizzlies +8: The Cavs are just steam rolling teams right now. They have found their groove and it is showing in the wins and covers column. We love how they match-up with Memphis tonight. They are rested. Take the Cavs and give the points.
Shaq Fu Panda Is Undefeated!!!!!
Nets @ Bulls -6.5: Both teams are terrible. The Nets finally got their first win of the season last week at home against the Bobcats. They look for their first road win tonight in the Windy City. They won’t get it. This game should be a beatdown. The Bulls will roll. Take the Bulls and give the points.
Suns @ Mavericks -4.5: We despise both teams and think they are both extremely soft. When in doubt between two soft teams, take the points. Take the Suns and the points.
Magic @ Clippers +7: The Clippers are not good, but they are at their best at home. That said, it won’t be enough. The Magic just stack-up too well against them. Take the Magic and give the points.
As always, good luck.

FREE WINNING NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 2, 2009
Greetings folks. We had a tough start to December last night going 3-3. Not a losing record but still pretty terrible. There are plenty of games tonight to get us back on track. That said, this is what we like for tonight:
Ooops….almost forgot:
Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron in a Clash of Mini Titans!
Raptors @ Hawks -9.5: The Hawks have had a few days off to sort out how in the world they lost to a Pistons team they should have destroyed. They looked terrible Sunday. They gave a similar performance a few days before against the Magic (lost by 17) where they were favorites. They responded to that beating pretty well and trounced the Sixers for a nice cover. We think they will respond in similar fashion tonight. The Raptors are a hard-luck team right now. They lost last night to a Wizards team they could have handled. They played hard, but they just did not have enough. Tonight will be worse as the Hawks are long, fast and athletic. We think the Hawks match-up very well with the Raptors. The Raptors will lose their 5th straight. Look for big games from Al Horford and Josh Smith for the Hawks. Take the Hawks and give the points.
Josh Smith is a Manchild!!!!!!
Suns @ Cavs -7.5: The Suns killed us last night by stinking up the place and getting absolutely clobbered by a terrible Knicks team. They could not stop them at all. It won’t get any easier tonight as they roll into Cleveland to face Lebron, Shaq and a very rested Cavs team. The Suns are in the midst of a long road trip and they do not like playing on back-to-back nights (1-2 SU & ATS on the season). Their two losses in these situations were to the Magic and Lakers, teams similar in caliber to the Cavs, by any average of 20 points. Also, the favorite in this series is 9-0 ATS in their last 9 meetings. That said, we are taking the Suns. The Knicks loss revealed that the Knicks are better than we thought (they are still bad) and that the Suns play no D. Even with these problems, they are still a better at rebounding, points, shooting % and free throw %. Plus they have a better bench. We think the Cavs will win, but this is too many points to give. Take the Suns and the points.
The Best Part Of This Is the Rain Poncho/Hefty Bag! He Probably Found This Near Lake Erie and Thought He Could Be Shaq Fu Panda.
Knicks @ Magic -12.5: Easy game to call. We are not buying the Knicks. We know they are better than we thought, but slightly better than terrible is not going to cut it against a rested Magic team at home. They played the Magic tough two games ago, but they were outscored by 12 in OT. There is a reason this line is so high. Take the Magic and give the points.
Bucks @ Wizards -3: The Wizards showed a lot of heart last night against the Raptors in Toronto. They look to continue that effort tonight at home against the Bucks. Andrew Bogut is back for the Bucks, but Michael Redd is still out. They just can’t seem to stay healthy at the same time. The teams seem pretty even on paper. We think the key will be the energy of the Wizards and the momentum they created with last night’s win in Toronto. They played together the entire game and it worked. They win and cover their second straight. Take the Wizards and give the points.
Mavs @ Nets +7.5: This line is ridiculously low given how bad the Nets are. That said, we smelled a trap and looked at the numbers on where the money is going. Guess what? It is a HUGE trap. Over 76% of the money is on the Mavs, but this line has dropped. Don’t take the bait!! Ignore the fact that the Mavs are 13-5 ATS in their last 18 meetings with the Nets. It won’t matter. The Mavs are soft and will be looking past this game. The Nets will probably win this outright. Take the Nets and the points.
Congrats, Dumbass!! You Just Danced Your Way Into Giving the Nets Their First Win Of the Season!!!!
Pistons @ Bulls -7: The Bulls finally return home from their daunting, annual Circus Road Trip. They need a rest, too. On the trip they were 0-5 SU and 1-4 ATS. They need a win bad. They will probably get it, but we think the Pistons will cover. The reason is injuries. The Pistons will be without Ben Gordon, Tayshaun Prince, Rip Hamilton and Charlie Villanueva. Those 4 are starters and a HUGE losses for any team. The Bulls, we think, are in a surprisingly worse position. Their key injury is to one plaer-Kirk Hinrich. The Bulls are clearly better on paper than the Pistons right now, but losing Hinrich is a loss the Bulls have not had time to adjust to yet. The Pistons have had time and they have adjusted well. Even with their injuries, they are a still better defensively and scoring. Take the Pistons and the points.
Grizzlies @ Timberwolves +3.5: Pretty easy game to call. Also probably pretty easy to say that this will be the least most watched game outside of Minnesota and Memphis. The Grizzlies hate the road and they are in the midst of a pretty grueling road trip (3-7 ATS in their last 10 road games). However, they should have Rudy Gay back tonight. Even without him, they are just a much better team than the T’Wolves. Take the Grizzlies and give the points.
76ers @ Thunder -6.5: We can’t be happier that AI is heading back to Philly!! We loved watching him play in Philly and we were pissed when he was traded. He is the face of this franchise now and this is where he belongs. He won’t be in action tonight, and it probably wouldn’t matter if he was. The Sixers are hurting for a win. We think they will probably get it tonight in Oklahoma City. We love the points. Take the Sixers and the points.
AI's Back!! Literally!

Greetings folks. 3-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 66-54-2. We are making people straight cash money and we hope you are taking advantage of our picks. Our goal is to make you as much money as possible to bring down Vegas, your bookies an any websites you may frequent. The best part is our picks are totally free with absolutely no strings attached. Just read, enjoy and make your money!!
First things first:
Guess Who's Back....Back Again...Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back...Tel A Friend. Don't Forget To Mention The Winning Picks!!!!
Is It Us, Or Does Chris Bosh Look Like The Predator?!?!? The Resemblance Is Striking!!!
Good Thing Big Baby Is Not Playing Tonight....If He Was, We Would Have Taken the Bobcats Solely Because of This Photo. Please Tell Us That His Teammates Are Giving Him Constant Grief For This!!!
Yeap. Nuff Said.
Witness The Rebirth of Cool!!!! Just Not Tonight In Denver.
Nas & Young Jeezy...Guaranteed Two People You Won't See Court side in Portland Tonight
Hornets @ Lakers -14.5: This is a TON of points to give to a decent (although undermanned) Hornets team. However, this is the Lakers and they are crushing teams right now. That said, the Lakers have a tendency to play down to opponents at times. Typically they rip off a bunch of games where they crush teams and then settle on cruise control and maybe lose a game they should win. They beat the Hornets earlier in the year by 16 at home, and that was a team with Chris Paul running point. CP3 won;t be there tonight and there is a good chance neither will Peja Stojakovic. That doesn’t bode well for the Hornets. We do not like these points, but our numbers say take the Lakers. Take the Lakers and give the points.
Brilliant!!! We Need These To Rain From The Rafters in LA Tonight!!!
As always, good luck with your picks.

FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 30, 2009
Greetings folks! Back again for another great night of NBA action. We hope Thanksgiving weekend was as good to you as it was us. We had great food. Great family time. We topped it off with solid days all around on NCAA football, NFL and NBA. Our season ATS record for NBA stands at 63-53-2. We are rollin’ and hopefully making you money. Still plenty of room for improvement though-10 games over .500 is not where we need to be. That said, this is what we like on tonight’s NBA games:
Ooops….almost forgot about our little friends:
Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back!!!
Bulls @ Bucks -2.5 : This is our favorite pick of the night. We love the Bulls here. Their annual Circus Road Trip is killing them, but this is essentially a home game for them and they are rested. We like them to come out furious and win outright. We love how they match-up with the Bucks. No Andrew Bogut is a big deal for Milwaukee. Take the Bulls and the points.
Stick This In Your Pipe & Smoke It, Bucks! The Bulls Are Coming Into Town!!!
76ers @ Mavs -11: We have been all over calling out the softness of the Mavs all year. They cannot hang with tough teams. They get a Sixers team tonight that is slowly getting more and more healthy as Elton Brand is expected back. That said, Brand really has not made that much of a difference when he is there. Even with him, the Sixers are still inconsistent. However, the Mavs have been inconsistent, too (ATS wise) and they are soft. We like the energy the Sixers will bring tonight. Take the Sixers and the points.
C'mon, Jessica!! We Need You To Jinx The Mavs Again Tonight!!
FREE NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 28, 2009
Greetings folks. Fresh off of Turkey Day and our season ATS record is 59-52-2. We know that is not where we need to be, but we will keep working. Kobe and Lebron play tonight, so we pay our respects with this:
Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron Are Back!!!
On with tonight’s picks:
Bobcats @ Wizards -3.5: The Bobcats are en fuego right now and are off 3 straight wins and covers. The Wizards are turning their play around and have won two straight after being mired in a terrible slump. The key to this came is consistency, and the Wizards just have not showed us that they are a consistent club. Plus, the Bobcats are playing really well as a team right now. They match-up well against the Wizards. We love Gerald Wallace’s offensive ability and his glass work. We like the Bobcats to make it 4 straight covers. Take the Bobcats and the points.
Bring Us An Early Christmas Present, Stephen!!!!
Dallas @ Cleveland -6.5: The Mavs have not been good against good teams over the past few years. They have been particularly bad against the Cavs (2-7 ATS in the last 9 meetings). We are not convinced that the Cavs are a great team this year-as long as the have Lebron they will be good. We don’t know yet if they are an elite team. We’ll see. What we do know is that the Mavs have been better ATS this year and even more so in the recent games. That said, we are still riding the Cavs. The Mavs are on a pretty tough road trip. They are a soft team. We like the Cavs to avoid two straight losses and snag a cover. Take the Cavs and give the points.
Gisele Would Have Been Better Off With Lebron!
Trailblazers @ Jazz -5.5: The home team has a huge advantage in this series (21-8 ATS in the last 29 meetings). The Jazz are more rested and have had the luxury of playing their last 4 opponents at home. We think that is HUGE for the game tonight. The Jazz looked great blowing out a decent Bulls team last time out. Although we love the energy and athleticism of the young Blazers, we think the Jazz will have too much for them tonight. Take the Jazz and give the points.
Magic @ Bucks +6.5: The Bucks have been home demons as of late, going 7-2 ATS in their last 9 home games. We love their energy and Brandon Jennings is showing that he could be a star in the league. However, they key to this game is who will not be playing. Andrew Bogut. Losing him in the paint against teams with solid big men has proven to be the Achilles Heel of this team. They get no bigger or better than the big man they will be facing tonight-Dwight Howard. He will be too much for the Bucks. Take the Magic and give the points.
Yeap, That's My Bit*h!! The Bucks Are Next!!!!
Lakers @ Warriors +9.5: The road team has been solid in the recent meetings, going 12-4 ATS in the last 16 meetings. The Lakers love spreads under 10 points and they are well rested. They will be ready for this game. We’ve admired the heart that the Warriors have shown as of late. However, the Lakers will have too much for them tonight. Take the Lakers and give the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks! 3-2-1 last night brings our season ATS record to 54-45-2. Again, we know this is not up to our standards, but with another winning night, we are moving in the right direction. There are a ton of games tonight, so we know we have a ton of opportunities for more winners. We are busy and we love it!! Check out our NCAA football and NFL posts for tomorrow’s and Friday’s games, too. We are working plays all weekend long!!! Sit back, eat some turkey and take our picks all the way to the bank!! We are looking to help you make some extra scratch for Black Friday shopping deals!! That said, here is the first step:
Oh yeah…forgot about Lil Kobe and Lil Lebron:
Lil Kobe & Lil Lebron Are Back For More Winners!!!!
Clippers @ Pacers -5.5: The Pacers looked pretty darn bad last night in Toronto and are in the midst of a bad slump. They look to avoid their 5th straight SU loss and ATS loss. The bad thing is that in their losses, they have been pretty much blown out each time. Only in one of the 4 losses (against the Knicks) have they even kept it close. They are a team that looks very confused right now, and they are getting a Clippersteam that is rested and will probably have their young gun, Eric Gordon, back from injury. Even without Gordon, we like the Clippersto cover. We think the Pacers will win the game to end their losing streak, however, we think this is too many points to give. Take the Clippers and the points.
Holy Sh*t!!! We Picked The Clippers to Cover!!!!
Raptors @ Bobcats -3: The Raptors have been terrible on the road this year and cannot stop anyone anywhere. They are off giving the Pacers a beatdown last night at home. They are terrible as Dogs this year (0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as Dogs), but we think they finally breakout of the Dog cover slump. Take the Raptors and the points.
No Early Christmas For You, Stephen Jackson!!!!
76ers @ Celtics -13: The Celtics have been terrible as of late. This team is WAAAY better than this and they know it. After nearly losing to the Knicks last time out, the Celtics need to get back on track. They are rested and at home tonight against a 76ers team that is struggling, too. The 76ers lost a tough one last night in Washington and they may be without Elton Brand tonight. That is bad news for them. We think the Celtics finally right the ship tonight. We don;t care that the road team in this one is 18-8-1 ATS in their last 27 meetings. Take the Celtics and give the points.
Heat @ Magic -9.5: The Heat have been absolutely terrible in their recent games, losing 4 of their last 6 SU and 6 straight ATS. They get no relief tonight against a Magic team that is playing well as of late. The Magic are rested and do everything better than the Heat except field goal %. This is an easy cover. Take the Magic and give the points.
Ridiculous!! Dwight Howard Looks Like He Is Playing on Stilts!! Good Luck, Miami!!!
Bucks @ Hornets -2.5: The Bucks finally have Michael Redd back, but they are still without Andrew Bogut. The Hornets are still without Chris Paul. However, the Hornets have covered their last 4. We don’t think they make it a 5th. The Bucks are better defensively and on the glass. They have Redd back. The Hornets will have no answer for him. Take the Bucks and the points.
This Is What The Bucks Think Of Your Chances Tonight, New Orleans!!!!
Cavs @ Pistons +6: The Cavs have not been a good team ATS, but neither have the Pistons. The Pistons will be without Prince and Hamilton (again). They will not have enough fire power to keep up with a rested Cavs team. We love this line. Take the Cavs and give the points.
Nuggets @ T’Wolves +8.5: This line seems a little like a trap because it is so low. The T’Wolves have not won since beating the Nets weeks ago. The Nuggets are one of the best teams in the league. On paper this seems like the line should be double digits. It may be a trap, so beware, but our analysis says ride the Nuggets all day. So, that is what we are doing. Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Dats Wus Up, Minnesota!! Be Carful Of Who You Are Messin' Wit!!
Mavericks @ Rockets -4: We hate the Mavs and love the Rockets. However, the Mavs own this match-up as of late. They also have more healthy weapons. Dirk is clutch. We love the points. Take the Mavs and the points.
Warriors @ Spurs -13.5: The Warriors are one of the hottest teams ATS right now, covering in 6 straight and 7 of their last 8. Unreal. They beat the Mavs outright last night with 6 freakin’ players!! Tonight they get another tough opponent in the Spurs, who are rested and ready. We love the attitude the Warriors have adopted since the injury bug hit. They have circled the wagons and look to pound everyone they play. However, tonight will be too much. The Spurs play well together and know how to win at home. They cover. Take the Spurs and give the points.
Grizzlies @ Suns -10.5: The Grizzlies are a terrible road team, but they are building confidence each night out. They are young and can really get after it. The Suns are off a lopsided win at the hands of the Pistons. We like the Grizzlies in this one because we think they match-up well against the Suns, and because they are playing solid D as of late. Take the Grizzlies and the points.
Nets @ Trailblazers -13: Nets are pathetic. Just terrible. They were crushed last night. They will get crushed again tonight. Take the Blazers and give the points.
Knicks @ Kings -4: The Knicks showed some poise last night making it a 10 point game against the Lakers. However, we think that was more of the Lakers just wanting to get out of dodge. The Knicks held their own against the Celtics last week, too. However, we think they happened to catch the Celtics in a slump. They are not a good team. We love the Kings tonight. Tyreke Evans should be back. Take the Kings and give the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.

Greetings folks. Our season ATS record stands at 48-42-1. Despite our winning record, we feel terrible. Not as bad as these guys…
Is That The Little Person Kobe & Lebron?!?!?!
…but still pretty bad. Not a bad record, but not even close to the vicinity we are aiming for (65%). We are in a slump, but we know what we are capable of and will keep applying our system. That said, this is what we recommend for tonight:
Kings @ Grizzlies -5.5:If this game was in Arco, our analysis would be different. We love the direction both teams are heading and this should be an exciting game. The Kings have been in some very tough defeats as of late, losing by two to the Mavs last Friday and by seven to the Rockets on Saturday night. They should be rested, but Tyreke Evans is doubtful. Without Evans, the Kings are a completely different team. They need him to produce and they need his energy with Kevin Martin out of the line-up for the foreseeable future. We like the Grizzlies in this game because they are at home and they have a ton of young talent that can score and run the court all game long. And, as well as the Kings have played, they have been terrible on the road. Take the Grizzlies and give the points.
Grizzlies Haters Beware!!!! They Aren't That Bad!!!!
Yeap. That Guy Got It Right.
