Slippery When Wet Sunday Picks
Bob's Shameless Sunday Picks
After a rough stretch of NBA games, we can all rejoice in the fact that today is finally Sunday. Tonight there is a lot of solid television to watch including the season finale of True Detective, and fan favorite Shameless. However if you think that I'm gonna be watching these shows instead of watching the games that I am throwing my cold hard cash down on then you would be right, but here are some picks anyway.
The Lakers are garbage right now, the only team they could beat is probably the 76ers, but that would be a good battle. Expect Rus and KD to come out firing especially because the last time they played they were beaten by the Phoenix Suns. The Thunder will come out blazing and might score 200 against a porous Lakers D.
Denver (+2.5) at NO (L)
Although the Nugs look more similar to the crew of the Black Pearl than an actual basketball team (mutiny!!!), the return of Ty Lawson has been huge. He can beat most guards off the dribble whenever he wants, and his slashing causes other defenders to help out leading to easy drop offs for dunks. Lucky for him tonight he goes against arguably the worst back court in the NBA. Brian Roberts and Austin Rivers are both porous defenders and exactly the type of players that Ty Lawson used to fuck back in prison (allegedly). Look for the Nuggets to blow the Pelicans out tonight winning by at least 15.
PHO (+7.5) at GS (WINNER!)
The Suns are in a dogfight right now for the bottom three seeds of the Western conference. Every game of their remaining 20 becomes basically a playoff type atmosphere. So far everything we have seen from the Suns is that they step up when it comes to big time games. They played the warriors tough in both games already this season, and there is no reason to think this game won't be decided by three or four points.
There we are three wins to finish off what has been a pretty shitty weekend set of picks, but a great start to the coming week. Also if my picks don't work out, fuck it grab a sixer, watch Shameless and True Detective and cry until you pass out.
BJ's Blatant Disregard for the Facts Pick
Toronto @ Minnesota (OVER 207) (WINNER!)
Well I was going with Toronto +4, but that line is way to fishy. Instead, we'e going to go with two teams that have been absolutely ROLLIN on offense as of late. Two hot shooting squads that have been putting up big numbers over the last week on a Sunday? I say book it.
