NBA Picks

BJ's Same Old Shit Thursday Picks

LA Lakers (+3) at Milwaukee Bucks (Push)
The Lakers have had a nightmare season this year. Pretty much everyone is injured, Mike D'Antoni doesn't give a shit anymore and the ownership group has more star power than the starting 5. One thing is clear, the Lakers still try harder than they should. Some of these guys are trying to stay in the league or stay in LA and the Mike D system is great for padding stats. The Lakeshitshow might get blown out tonight, but a tanking Bucks squad shouldn't be given any points.

LA Clippers (-1) at Dallas Mavericks (WINNER!)
CP3 needs to bounce back after the worst night shooting night in Clipper's history. The Clips should be fine for a top 3 spot in the West, but the Mavs have to win the bulk of their games to sneak into the playoff picture. Look for CP3 and Blake to put up big numbers and Jamal Crawford vs Monta Ellis to put up a record amount of contested J's.

Philadelphia at Houston (Under 215) (L)
I've been fooled by this one too many times. The 76ers suck at defense and play an insanely high paced game. This leads me to believe, on a nightly basis, that their games are going to go over. That shit doesn't happen. The Rockets might score 110 tonight, but Philly is only scoring 99, because D-League dudes can't play offense.
