FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 28, 2009
Greetings. We are closing the 2009 portion of the season in winning style. Our season ATS record stands at 106-88-5. Of that, our locks are 3-2-1. We know it is not where we need to be, but we are winning each night. 7 Games on the docket tonight. This is what we like:
LOCKS
Thunder @ Nets +6: The Nets are making a habit of getting blown out this year. Of their 28 losses, only 9 have been by fewer than 10 points. They are a joke of a team right now. The Thunder will win their third straight. Take the Thunder and give the points.
PICKS
Bucks @ Bobcats -4.5: Bobcats are a completely different team at home (24-11 ATS in their last 35 home games) and they love Monday night games (9-2 ATS in their last 11). However, we still aren’t buying that they are a good team. Brandon Jennings has come down to reality as of late, but we like them to cover. They match-up well with the Bobcats. Take the Bucks and the points.
Wizards @ Grizzlies -5.5: We love the Wizards’ D in this game. We think they match-up well against the Grizzlies. Don’t be surprised in Washington wins outright. Take the Wizards and the points.
Lakers @ Suns +1: The Lakers have dominated this match-up as of late and look to build some momentum after their overtime win against the Kings. The Lakers are exactly what the Suns hate-a large and athletic team that plays well together. That is the recipe for beating the Suns. The Suns are off one of their worse performances of the season last time out. Even without Artest, the Lakers will still get the best of them. Take the Lakers and give the point.
Nuggets @ Kings +2: The Nuggets have been terrible since Chauncey Billups injured his groin. However, the Kings will probably be without Tyreke Evans and Sean May tonight. Those are bigger losses. Take the Nuggets and give the points.
76ers @ Trail Blazers -6: The 76ers have dominated this match-up as of late and they should get Iverson back tonight. The Blazers have been hot-covering in their last 4 games. We don’t think it will be 5 straight tonight. Take the 76ers and the points.
Celtics @ Warriors +6: The Celtics are one of the best road teams in the league, but they have not done well when visiting the Warriors. Still, they play outstanding D. The Warriors are hot off their pounding of a Suns team that played no D whatsoever. Tonight will be different. They will get all the D they can handle tonight. Take the Celtics and give the points.
Road team sweep for us tonight. That hasn’t happened before, but we are sticking with our system.
Good Luck,
Runny & Flash
FREE NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 16, 2009
Greetings folks. We are loving this NBA season and we are coming at you with new angles with which you can make some scratch. Between early NFL action this week, the NCAA Bowl Season and NBA every night, we’ve been crunching numbers like mad!!! For the NBA, our overall season ATS record stands at 93-80-4. Of that, we are 3-1 ATS in our locks. If you’ve followed our site, you know that typically we have stayed away from giving “locks.” This is because we are confident with every game we pick/make public. Simply put, if it doesn’t pass our tests, we don’t pick it. That said, through our numbers crunching, we’ve noticed things that seem to come true even more than our typical picks. These are our “locks,” but note that they don’t pop-up too much so there may be nights where none exist. Tonight, we have two!!!!! Here is what we like:
LOCKS OF THE NIGHT
Lakers @ Bucks +5.5: The Lakers are the lock. Press this like crazy. Take the Lakers and give the points.
Wizards @ Kings -3: The Wizards are the lock. Go crazy. Take the Wizards and the points.
PICKS
Cavs @ 76ers +6: Take the Cavs and give the points.
Raptors @ Magic -11: Take the Magic and give the points.
Bobcats @ Pacers -3.5: Take the Bobcats and the points.
Grizzlies @ Hawks -9.5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.
Jazz @ Nets +8.5: Take the Nets and the points.
Mavs @ Thunder +2.5: Take the Thunder and the points.
Pistons @ Hornets -4.5: Take the Hornets and give the points.
Clippers @ T’Wolves -1.5: Take the Clippers and the points.
Rockets @ Nuggets -8.5: Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Spurs @ Warriors +5.5: Take the Warriors and the points.
There you go-12 winners for tonight!!!!
Good luck,
Runny & Flash
FREE WINNING NBA PICKS FOR DECEMBER 7, 2009
Greetings folks. Sorry for the delayed and quick post. We had another winning week last week and our season ATS record stands at 81-67-3. Respectable and certainly as good as any so called “professionals,” but we know we are better than that and we know we will keep staying in the black. That said, here is what we like tonight:
Nuggets @ Sixers +7: The Answer returns to the place where it all began as AI suits up his familiar Philly #3 for tonight’s game against his former team. This game will be fun to watch simply because of the crowd response. The crowd should be insane tonight! Plus, AI is still capable of lighting up a team for 30 points, although he is not as good as he used to be. The Nuggets dominate this match-up on paper and the road team in this series is 7-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings. Philly has lost 9 straight, but we don’t care. Our numbers say take Philly and the points. Take Philly and the points.
Trailblazers @ Knicks +3.5: The Blazers limp (literally) into the Garden to face a Knicks team that is playing their best basketball of the season. The Blazers have lost Oden yet again for the season due to a knee problem. No doubt his presence will be missed. Also, the Blazers are 2-7 ATS in their last 9 trips to the Garden and they are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games. That said, the Blazers dominate this match-up and we like how they stack-up against the Knicks. Take the Blazers and give the points.
Warriors @ Thunder -7.5: This is a ton of points to give, but we know why-the Thunder are good and well on their way to being a legit playoff team. The Warriors are still banged up, but they are getting more and more healthy each day. We love the energy that they bring to the table. We think the Thunder will win, but it will be closer than 7 points. Kevin Durant will have a huge game. So will Monta Ellis. Take the Warriors and the points.
Spurs @ Jazz -1.5: The final game tonight pits the Spurs against and fast Jazz team. We love the Jazz in this one primarily because of their athleticism, but also because of the recent play of Carlos Boozer. He has been great on both sides of the ball and he is good enough to keep Tim Duncan in check. We love Deron Williams against Tony Parker, too. Also, consider that the favorite in this series is 19-7 ATS in the last 26 meetings. Take the Jazz and give the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.

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!
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 25, 2009!!!
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! We hope to build some momentum off our 2-1 night last night. Typically on nights with only 3 games, we expect to be 3-0. However, we’ll take the wins as we can. As it stands, our season record ATS is 45-35-1. Due to some time constraints, we are leaving out a lot of the detail we typically provide. Know that everything below fits our models and is what we personally are backing. That said, here is what we are rollin’ with:
Cavs @ Pacers +4: Take the Cavs and give the points-LeBron will play and be fine.
Grizzlies @ 76ers -5: Take the Grizzlies and the points.
Heat @ Raptors -3: Take the Heat and the points.
Rockets @ Hawks -7: Take the Hawks and give the points.
Magic @ Celtics -6: Take the Celtics and give the points.
Wizards @ Thunder -4: Take the Wizards and the points.
Kings @ Mavericks -11: Take the Kings and the points.
Bobcats @ Bucks -4: Take the Bobcats and the points.
Trailblazers @ Warriors: +8: Take the Blazers and give the points.
Nuggets @ Clippers +9: Take the Nuggets and give the points.
Sorry for the brief post. As always, good luck with your picks.

NBA PICKS FOR NOVEMBER 18, 2009
Greetings folks. We had a terrible night last night with a 3-5 record. It is our first losing night in over a week. We have had a good run as of late, but we know another 3-5 night can happen at any point and we need to stay focused. The 3-5 night brings our season ATS record to 37-28-1. That is not even close to where we need to be (our goal is 65%). So, back to work….here is what we like tonight:
Cavs @ Wizards +5: The Cavs are just not covering and they are pretty banged up. Shaq is out again and there is a good chance no Anderson Varejao tonight. Even without them in the line-up, they are a good team, but this will be a tough road game. Washington has played the Cavs well in recent years and the Dog is 7-1 ATS in their last 8 meetings. This game will come down to Agent 0 and whether he has learned to follow his instincts like he did in the past. He has been a tentative player and if the Wizards are to keep this game close, they need to Agent 0 that drives to the basket and plays instinctively. We think he will do it tonight. Plus, the Wizards may be getting Antawn Jamison back tonight for the 1st time during the regular season. Take the Wizards and the points.
Agent 0 Sees A Win In His Future Tonight and So Do We!!!!!
Bobcats @ 76ers -4: The Sixers have been extremely inconsistent. They don’t play D andtheir front court has no clue how to rebound. In our opinion, Elton Brand has been a bust, and at best, was the wrong guy to fit in with their style of play. The Bobcats are fresh off a close loss to the Magic. Stephen Jackson looked solid in his debut. Hopefully for the Bobcats, he will be a positive force on and off the court this year. Larry Brown does have some experience successfully managing problem child players. This will be a tough game for them because the Sixers are rested and waiting for them. However, the Sixers will be without Marreese Speights tonight. Speights has arguably been their spark on offense this year. We’ll see how the Sixers respond. We think Jackson will have a solid game and keep it within 4. Take the Bobcats and the points.
Trust Us, If This Guy Comes Down Your Chimney This Christmas, Call The Cops Immediately!!!!! All We Want For Christmas Are Some Covers!!!!
Thunder @ Magic -12.5: Just when the Magic seem to get all of the pieces of their puzzle together on the court at once, they lose a major piece. Jameer Nelson is out for the next 4-6 weeks with a bum knee. This is a HUGE blow for the Magic, who struggled at times in their win Monday night against the Bobcats. However, Jason Williams will get the starting nod tonight in Nelson’s absence. He is certainly not the player he once was, but he is not terrible. We think he will surprise teams with his ball handling ability. The Thunder are legit and are off a HUGE win last night against the Heat. However, this Magic team is much, much better than the Heat team they faced last night. The Magic are rested, too. The game will come down to the front courts of each team. The Thunder, surprisingly, rebound much better than the Magic do. They also play better D. They also gave the Magic their worse loss of the season earlier in Oklahoma City. The Magic will be out for revenge and should be focused for tonight’s game. The Thunder have not lost by double digits all year and the Magic, with the exception of one game against the winless Nets, have not covered double digit spreads. We think the Thunder will have the energy needed to keep it within 12.5. Take the Thunder and the points.
We Are Here To Claim The Reward....We Found His Jumpshot. It Will Be In Orlando Tonight.
Knicks @ Pacers -6.5:Man, the Knicks are so sad. The are to the NBA what the New York Mets are to baseball-overrated by the market they are in and very, very disappointing. The Knicks are winless on the road this year and probably will not get their first win on the road tonight. This Pacers team is good and really gets after the ball on both sides of the court. Danny Granger has to be an early MVP candidate and Roy Hibbert has been ridiculous in the middle. The Knicks will have no response for either. The Pacers are HOT (5 straight wins and covers) while the Knicks are not (6 straight losses and not covering in 5 of those 6 losses). The line is low because the Pacers played last night and the Knicks are rested. We don’t care. Take the Pacers and give the points.
That Is All We Have To Say About That...
Heat @ Hawks -7.5: The Heat looked terrible last night against the Thunder. They could not handle the size and energy the Thunder brought to the table. Things look bad for them tonight because that is exactly what the Hawks will bring at home. This team is young, athletic and fast. Each game they player better and better together. They will be a force in the regular and post seasons this year. The Heat are good, too, but they won’t have enough in the tank tonight. Look for another low scoring Heat performance. We love this line. The Hawks have covered every time they were the favorite this year. Take the Hawks and give the points.
Warriors @ Celtics -16.5: The walking wounded Warriors limp into Beantown to face a rested Celtics team. The Celtics have struggled as of late and look to avoid a 3rd straight loss. They will. We think they cover, too. Despite the spread being high, we think the Celtics are exactly what the Warriors don’t want to see right now: a rested, veteran team that is deep and plays well together. We think the game will be somewhat close until the 4th. The Celtics win big. Take the Celtics and give the points.
Hate to Be Spoilers, But The Celtics Win Big Tonight.
Rockets @ T’Wolves +5.5: The Rockets are off a big home loss to the Suns last night. The T’Wolves are off losses to pretty much everyone. They may get Al Jefferson back tonight, but even if they do, it won’t matter. Even a sluggish, tired Rockets team will cover this spread. The T’Wolves just have no answer for anyone right now. Trevor Ariza is opening eyes with his new role as a starter. He should have a solid night again. Take the Rockets and give the points.
Nets @ Bucks -10: The Nets have yet to win this season and are a dismal 4-7 ATS. The Bucks have been been outstanding this year and are tied for 2nd in the Central. With the exception of the Warriors, the Nets may have the most injured team in the league. It will not help them on back-to-back nights against a hot, relentless Bucks team at home. The Bucks will have just too much depth. Take the Bucks and give the points.
Clippers @ Grizzlies -5: The Grizzlies look to build on their win and avenge an earlier season loss against the Clippers tonight. We don’t think it will happen. Although we love OJ Mayo and Rudy Gay, we think the Clippers have a better roster. Plus they play much better D. We don’t think thegame last night will have too much of an effect on the Clippers tonight. The Grizzlies may win, but it will be close. Take the Clippers and the points.
Raptors @ Jazz -7.5: Deron Williams is back for the Jazz. That is HUGE for them. This has been along road trip for the Raptors who were crushed last night by the Nuggets. A rested Carlos Boozer should have enough to keep Bosh in check. The Jazz should win big. Take the Jazz and give the points.
Spurs @ Mavericks -2: The Spurs finally have their bug guns healthy, but even without them, they beat the Mavericks outright earlier in the month by 9. The Spurs are just a better team and the Mavericks are soft. Not much analysis for us on this one. The Spurs are winless on the road. They will right their ship tonight. They will win outright. We love the points. Take the Spurs and the points.
Could Be The Worse Photo in Sports History...No Wonder Steve Nash Left Dallas.
Pistons @ Blazers -10.5: This is one of our favorite games of the night. The Pistons are fresh off a beatdown at the hands of the Lakers last night. They are understaffed without Prince andHamilton. Travelling to Portland for a game in consecutive nights to face a rested Trailbalzerssquad is not what the doctor ordered. Portland is just much, much better in every phase of the game right now. Until the Pistons get Prince and Hamilton, they have only two legit scoring threats. One of those threats, Ben Gordon, plays crazy at times. Andre Miller will eat him alive. This game will not be close. Take the Blazers and give the points.
As always, good luck with your picks.

Free Winning NBA Picks: 3/27/2009
We were running cold and the only way to break out of a cold spell is to show hot chicks and great arses. We are sure some of you have seen this video and if so, SHAME ON YOU!!!! This is right up RPJ’s alley and we needed to know about this a long time ago. You will enjoy this.
That just made my day and so did winning our Game 1 last night. Our Game 1s are now 4-4-1 and overall we are 16-23-1. Here are our picks for the night….
Game 1: Celtics -1 vs. Hawks. Father Time rolls into Hotlanta tonight to face a team they may very well see in the playoffs. The Hawks are younger, faster and very determined. However, this is the Celtics and they crush the Hawks in our system match-up. Plus, they win our two keys in big ways. That adds up to our pick of the night. The Celtics are due to snap out of their funk, too. They will win this one.
Game 2. Clippers +11 vs. Spurs. We LOVE making this pick. F the Spurs!!!!! However, you should note that we are not making this pick based on our hatred of their abaility to cover….the Clippers win our systemmatch-up records. So, we are rollin’ with them and laughing as the Spurs will give-up useless layups with seconds left to blow their cover!!!!
Game 3. Nuggets +4 vs. Mavs. Another pick we love because the Mavs are soft as hot butter. The Nuggets win this match-up in our system in a solid way. Their D will keep it close. We love it!!
Game 4. 76ers -4.5 vs. Bobcats. The Sixers are at home, which is key for this match-up. Larry Brown coached teams scare us-especially when they play his former teams. However, our system rules. The Sixers take care of the ball better and have better backcourt D. We’ll give the points at home.
Game 5. Thunder +5 vs. Toronto. We love this pick because if ever there was an Underdog, it would be the Thunder. They are just a terrible team, but so are the Raptors. The Thunder win this match-up in our system….we love that they are the Dog. We love us some points!!!!
Game 6. Grizzlies +3 vs. Kings. System wise, this game is identical to the Thunder-Raptors. We’ll keep taking the points everytime!! Plus, the Griz have some legit, young talent on their team. Mayo is the real deal, and if they can get their act together, they will be pretty good for years to come. The Kings just blow.
Game 7. Cavs -14 vs. T’Wolves. It is finally official…the Cavs are the new Spurs. This team screws us more often than not. They dominate our system, but continue to do the exact opposite of what we predict. We listed this game last just to say thayou should be aware that the Cavs are douchebags. However, we are loyal to our system so we are riding with ‘em. On paper, they should win by 100 points. They just dominate the T’Wolves in every facet of the game. Plus, they are at home on rest. However, buyer beware……
Good luck.
