2/22 - Kings @ Warriors: Total 190 Over/Under/Push
190's just too high a combined point total for all but the most high-powered offenses. I'll take the under, but it'll be close.
2/24 - Cavaliers @ Hawks: Pick Em!
Even though the Hawks are still dealing with the loss of Donyell Marshall, they're at home against a Cavs team who will still be without Steve Nash and are trying to figure out life without Jayson Williams. I'll give the victory to Wig and company.
2/25 - Mavericks @ Clippers (+6.5)
No Van Exel? The bet should've been "Penny Hardaway: 35 points Over/Under/Push." Mavs win.
2/25 - Nets @ Wizards: Total 170 Over/Under/Push
Normally I'd say "Haha hell no Wiz suck," but they exceeded this total by 3 points in their meeting earlier. For that reason alone, I'll go with the Over.
2/26 - Rockets @ Jazz: Total 180 Over/Under/Push
180's a bit too high for a Shaq-led Rockets/Duncan-less Jazz matchup. Both teams have little outside of their respective superstars.
2/28 - Hawks @ 76ers: Pick Em!
Dafuq? Hawks win.
3/1 - Timberwolves @ Mavs: Pick Em!
The Wolves haven't been able to figure out the Mavs all season, but they're on a hell of a roll right now. If any time was the time for a signature win over Penny, now would be it.
3/2 - Clippers @ Suns: Pick Em!
Van Exel may or may not be ready for this game, which will be a big factor. MJ's questionable too, but nobody really wants to be like him anymore. That aside, the Suns are the better team, and will pick up the win at home.
3/3 - Grizzlies @ Trailblazers: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
Their first matchup shredded this total, and their second was just 5 points shy. I think the precedent has been set. Over.
3/4 - Pistons (+13.5) @ Kings
Against all odds, Mr. Detroit Steve Smith marches into Sacramento and delivers the smackdown to his hated rival Stacey Aug...no. Kings win.
3/6 - Magic @ Nuggets: Total 185 Over/Under/Push
The Magic went crazy on the Nuggets, totally blowing them out, and that game was just under 185 total. If that effort couldn't top 185, I doubt this one will.

2/22 - Kings @ Warriors: Total 190 Over/Under/Push
Under- Warriors will have tired legs after a tough loss at the Knicks. Kings can salt it away late to keep in under 190.
2/24 - Cavaliers @ Hawks: Pick Em!
Cavs- Both teams are missing key pieces. I usually like to go home team in a toss up, but I think the Cavs find a way to end the skid.
2/25 - Mavericks @ Clippers (+6.5)
Mavs- I hate to pick against myself, but I am afraid of what my team will look like without Van Exel.
2/25 - Nets @ Wizards: Total 170 Over/Under/Push
Under- Wizards score the least amount of points in the league; if the Nets are merciful it will stay under.
2/26 - Rockets @ Jazz: Total 180 Over/Under/Push
Under- Tough call, as I'm not sure the loss of Duncan causes more issues with the Jazz offense or defense. Hopefully Shaq doesn't have too much of a field day.
2/28 - Hawks @ 76ers: Pick Em!
Hawks- No Peeler, no Rice; I'll take the Hawks on the road.
3/1 - Timberwolves @ Mavs: Pick Em!
Mavs- Wolves are playing the 2nd night on a back to back. Plus I have picked way too many road teams already.
3/2 - Clippers @ Suns: Pick Em!
Suns- Once again, not excited about the Van Exel-less Clips. I'll take the home team in what should be a tough battle.
3/3 - Grizzlies @ Trailblazers: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
Under- Oh geez, under again. I expect a tired VanMemphis team to come into Portland. I'm thinking more like 166 total.
3/4 - Pistons (+13.5) @ Kings
Pistons- Kings should win easy, but hopefully their overconfidence works against them and the Pistons keep it close enough.
3/6 - Magic @ Nuggets: Total 185 Over/Under/Push
Under- Could it be an under sweep? I doubt it; but thats my guess. If you average out their PF's and PA's it comes to 179; thats my logic.

YOUR RESIDENT PICK'EM EXPERT IN THE HOUSE!!!
2/22 - Kings @ Warriors: Total 190 Over/Under/Push
Warriors missing a starter means Kings early and often. Kings keep this below 190.
2/24 - Cavaliers @ Hawks: Pick Em!
Hawks best player out (based on the color spectrum) so I'll take the Cavs in a "Why is this a pick em?" game.
2/25 - Mavericks @ Clippers (+6.5)
Mavericks lost one and played the other one close, so that +6.5 is tempting, but I'm not buying.
2/25 - Nets @ Wizards: Total 170 Over/Under/Push
Wizards show up to play and win outright!!!...oh...that's not the bet? sub-170 is hard to do. Over!
2/26 - Rockets @ Jazz: Total 180 Over/Under/Push
Damn there are so many of these here....Under in this defensive battle...i think.
2/28 - Hawks @ 76ers: Pick Em!
Hawks, because I picked against them earlier.
3/1 - Timberwolves @ Mavs: Pick Em!
Minny gets over on the Mavs because numbers.
3/2 - Clippers @ Suns: Pick Em!
Suns because the Clippers aren't very good away from home.
3/3 - Grizzlies @ Trailblazers: Total 175 Over/Under/Push
Over. same reason as above.
3/4 - Pistons (+13.5) @ Kings
PISTONS!!! THAT OP STEVE SMITH THE TRUTH AND YOURS FOR ONLY THREE FIRST ROUNDERS!!! I'LL THROW IN A BRUCE BOWEN AND POINTS!!!
3/6 - Magic @ Nuggets: Total 185 Over/Under/Push
Over...just like this post

2/22 - Kings @ Warriors: Total 190 Over/Under/Push - Both teams are among the best in defense, but the Warriors tend to score a ton at home.
2/24 - Cavaliers @ Hawks: Pick Em! - Hawks are better at home than the Cavs are on the road. Both teams have a key starter out, but I'm going with the Hawks at home.
2/25 - Mavericks @ Clippers (+6.5) - Clippers are awesome at home while the Mavs are just very good. Close call, but I think the Clippers cover the 6.5 points.
2/25 - Nets @ Wizards: Total 170 Over/Under/Push - I think the Nets will score over 90 to get the over for 170.
/26 - Rockets @ Jazz: Total 180 Over/Under/Push - I think the Rockets defense will step up without facing Duncan and keep the score low in general due to their slow pace. Plus the Rockets are really bad offensively.
2/28 - Hawks @ 76ers: Pick Em! - 76ers are coming off a horrific sim. P_amour is an asshole, but has proven to be a quality GM in a different league. I think the Sixers will adjust and have a better sim including winning at home.
3/1 - Timberwolves @ Mavs: Pick Em! Mavs have won all three games so far against the Twolves. They're really good at home. However, the Twolves have become road warriors themselves. Mavs in a close one.
3/2 - Clippers @ Suns: Pick Em! - Clippers are bad on the road. Suns are good at home and a playoff team. Can't see the Clippers winning this one.
3/3 - Grizzlies @ Trailblazers: Total 175 Over/Under/Push - I'm going with the under. Both teams can't score. What a snooze fest!!!!!
3/4 - Pistons (+13.5) @ Kings - Kings are really good at home. 13.5 is a lot, but shoot go with the Kings. Kings
3/6 - Magic @ Nuggets: Total 185 Over/Under/Push - I see alot of points and fast pace. Go with the Nuggets. Nuggets.
