NBA Saturday!

It happens to the best of us. One night, you're cruising a long with everything figured out. You're thinking you have a couple big balls you can rely on when logic just doesn't make sense, and BAM! You go 3 for 13 picking NBA games in one night. Yeah, ol Catz struggled to get anything going last night and has demoted himself to the AFL. No worries, after taking a few days off from MLB picks, I am going to fill in until the metaphorical Catz can get back on his metaphorical horse, metaphorically speaking. Go easy on ol BJ though, I haven't been in the NBA game for a while, so things are bound to get a little sloppy. As the old African Proverb says: "A sloppy BJ, is better than a broken and disheartened Bobcat."

Sacramento at Los Angeles Clippers (-11) (WINNER!)
Way too many points right? Yeah that's what I was thinking, especially since the Kings have played the Clippers so well this season! In 3 matchups, the margin has been 6 or less! So, as gamblers, do we roll with the "They always play the Clippers close" narrative or the "LA needs to win to stay in contention for the 2 seed" narrative? It's not a choice many are brave enough to make. I'm going LAC because Isaiah Thomas is injured, as is Rudy Gay (which really might be a plus for SacTown). CP3, Blake and Demarcus Cousins' frustration should be enough to get a massive win for the Clips.

Philadelphia at Charlotte (-12) (L)
I'm doing this one for Mr. Catz himself, because I know he would be looking at scores tonight saying, "Damn, I would've totally picked the Bobcats." Let's not forget my affinity for the Cats and the Raps this year, which have both been very fun to pick. Charlotte had a 5 game winning streak snapped by Boston, a game which I am going to look past because the Cats probably weren't expecting the Celtics to show up. I mean, why Celtics? Why are you trying to beat playoff teams?! Do you want to be stuck with Doug McDermott or Gary Harris in the draft? Not bad players, but not franchise changers. Anyways, the Cats are playing some good ball and Al Jefferson should hit for 30-10 tonight. That's a guarantee.

Milwaukee at Washington (-10.5) (WINNER!)
Wow, I swear this is the last huge spread I am throwing out. I can tell right now, these are all going to be stupid close at the end. Oh well, the Bucks are so bad, my God. I mean, they had some talent at the beginning of the year and somehow everyone sucked! Then you had Nat Wolters running things and, I don't know. If you combined the Bucks and the 76ers, they might be a competitive squad with 4 recognizable players. At this point, the Wiz are completely healthy and trying to fend off the Bobcats. The Bucks? Ersan Ilyasova, OUT; OJ Mayo, OUT; Larry Sanders, OUT; Carlos Delfino, OUT; Hell, NATE WOLTERS, OUT!!! The Bucks should lose by 25!!!

Miami at Atlanta (+5) (WINNER!)
I love the Hawks here. As a franchise, they are building towards a solid basketball culture. The Heat struggle with Paul Millsap for some reason and they are coming off a physical game against the Indiana Implosion  Pacers. I like the Hawks at home.

Boston (+9) at Cleveland (WINNER!)
The Cavaliers should never be GIVING points. They are a disgusting basketball team and a cancer to the city of Cleveland and the league as a whole! Rondo will have a triple double tonight.

New Orleans at Houston (-14.5) (L)
Another steep line, so I apologize, but the Pelicañeros are done. They shut down Anthony Davis, Jrue Holiday is out for the year, Ryan Anderson is out for the year, Eric Gordon is having arthroscopic surgery AGAIN, and they can't make the playoffs. Even a D12less Rockets team should win by 45.

Phoenix (+4.5) at Dallas (WINNER!)
I know this is the wrong pick, you don't have to tell me twice. But before you slam my man parts in the door, think about this: How many times have you counted the Suns out this year, or said "no way" when they were playing a game they were supposed to lose?....Don't bet against the Suns! Especially when they are battling a team for a damn playoff spot!

Utah (+9.5) at Denver (WINNER!)
This is my bold, frost brewed (THIS SPONSORSHIP SPOT COULD BE YOURS) pick of the day. No one is picking Utah, including sharps. Well, fuck everybody. You're not telling me that a team led by Timmy Mozgov is going to dominate another Western Conference opponent. The Jazz should be much better. With Trey Burke, Alec Burcs, Derek Favors-Birk, Gordon Burkeley Hayward and Enis "BURRR so Icy"Kanter, the Jazz are suiting up a better team tonight. No Lawson, Chandler, McGee, Gallo or smart coach? Go Utah tonight.
