Ugh!! What a garbage Super Bowl, unless you are in to watching offenses struggle and halftime acts that were huge ten years ago. Sure you can say the commercials were better than last year, but did any of them really move the public needle? Naw, didn't think so. If that wasn't bad enough, there was even controversy on some of the prop bets, most notably when did Lady Gaga's national anthem end?? The first time she said "and the home of the brave"?? Or the second?? Some sites are paying the under, others the over. All in all, not a very memorable 50th, but it does allow us as a nation to get refocused on the one thing that truly matters....nailing NBA picks!!
CHI +6.5 vs. CHA
Apparently Vegas is giving the Bulls no chance to win this game because they will be playing without their star Jimmy Butler. Personally, I like the rest of the Bulls roster just enough to not only cover this line, but to eek out a victory. Pau Gasol has more basketball talent in his ring finger, than the entire Hornets front line and I expect that to play out on the court tonight. Look for Rose to have a big game in Jimmy's absence, and for Pau to go off for 35 and 15 in a throwback Pau performance.
SAC +12.5 vs. CLE
If you have watched the Cavaliers play lately, it seems like they thought the All-star break was this last weekend instead of this weekend, because they have been on straight cruise control. They play like a team that knows they have the one seed locked down and are only getting up for big games anymore. Meanwhile, it doesn't matter who else is on the floor, or who is coaching, Cousins is going to show up and put up numbers. I fully expect the Cavs to sleepwalk through most of this game, only turning it on in the fourth in order to squeeze out a 5-10 point victory.
OKC -13.5 vs. PHX
Damn I would not want to be the Suns tonight. KD and Rus have had two days now to stew over that surprisingly close lose the other night in Oakland, and I am sure they are ready to get the next game underway to help get that taste out of their mouth. Expect a classic Rus and KD type of game tonight in the valley, as both players go for 25, 10 and 5.
